1962 !!! 84 BPM
“Do You Want to Dance” is a song written by American singer Bobby Freeman and recorded by him in 1958. It reached number No. 5 on the United States Billboard Top 100 Sides pop chart and No. 2 on the Billboard R&B chart. Cliff Richard and the Shadows’ version of the song reached No. 2 in the United Kingdom in 1962, despite being a B-side.
The Cliff Richard and the Shadows version[8] also known as “Do You Wanna Dance” was released in the United Kingdom as the B-side of “I’m Lookin’ Out the Window” in May 1962. However, like seven other Cliff Richard singles released between 1959 and 1963, the B-side received a good amount of airplay and made the New Musical Express UK singles chart in its own right. On this occasion, it became Richard’s second highest charting B-side (after “Bachelor Boy”), making it to number 10 (while “I’m Lookin’ Out the Window” reached number 2). The single reached number 2 on the other UK chart, the official UK Singles Chart, listing both tracks.
