Dancing in the Moonlight was King Harvest's second studio album and the first to be issued worldwide, on Perception Records, and it carries the song that made them a one-hit wonder. The band had one of rock's odder origin stories: formed in Ithaca, New York, broken up, then put back together in Paris, where they cut their first recordings, and named after the Band's "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)".
On this record Dave Robinson sings and plays bass, Ron Altbach is on keyboards, Eddy Tuleja on guitar, Didier Alexandre on bass and Rod Novak on saxophone. The title track is the whole reason anyone remembers it, a warm, rolling soft-rock singalong with a lazy keyboard bounce and a country-rock easiness that makes it sound like the best night of the summer. The album itself climbed only to 136 on the Billboard 200, and Collectables Records reissued it in November 1993.
