From the counter

Peter Brown co-wrote "Dance with Me" with Robert Rans and put it out in 1977, and the song has had a long afterlife since, with Betty Wright and the pianist Harold Mabern both taking runs at it. Play his version first, then the LL Cool J cut, and listen for where it lives inside "Starsky and Hutch."
