I Want To See You Dance / The Philly Avengers

‘I Want To See You Dance’ is taken from the debut album ‘Metamorphosis’ from AC Soul Symphony. An uptempo jazz funk cut aimed straight at the dancefloor. Think Heatwave and MFSB jamming together on stage with a 20-piece orchestra soaring away behind them. On the flip, Fans of the late 70s British TV show The New Avengers (where we first saw Joanna Lumley) will rejoice as Dave Lee renders out a funked-out version of the iconic theme song. It’s all grooving clav, Wurlitzer, funky drums, and the all-important symphony of strings transporting you back to the golden days of both TV themes and symphonic disco. If MFSB had recorded a version of The New Avengers, then maybe it might have sounded something like this.
