Chic - Dance, Dance, Dance - with Norma Jean Wright & Alfa Anderson singing together on vocals

 This is my favorite popular disco song of the 20th century with Norma Jean & Alfa singing together in unison on vocals - no lead, so here it is now:


I love the disco bass line, played by the late Bernard Edwards, rhythm guitar playing by Nile Rodgers, percussion playing, flutes playing, orchestral strings and horns playing and everybody as females and males including Norma and Alfa themselves, Robin Clark, David Lasley, Bernard himself, Nile himself, the late Luther Vandross and Diva Gray singing together in harmony in a family-oriented chorus style on this song. I prefer the edited version of this song that I am happy with, better than the LP version.

- Laurie Maitland

Here is the story from chictribute.com:
The first Chic album...huh? Surely one must approach it with the respect it deserves, 'cause it launched a great band's career. I've wondered if people in the disco's really noticed the distinct quality of the first Chic hits, or just thought of them as just another danceable tune? Nile has stated in a radio interview that Bernie and him tried out the song "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" on people in a local club, and it was an instant hit. The best feature of the song is the string & horn orchestrations, which pervades an ominous feeling that if you don't get up right now and dance something bad will happen-Yes Sir!

Here is the American Bandstand Version of this song with newcomer Lucy Martin:
