George's Thoughts: This classic brings back lots of memories for the boomer generation. It makes a reasonably decent Waltz for social party settings, but because it's a rock and roll tune it has none of the elegance or rise and fall feeling that you normally expect from a Waltz. One interesting thing to note is that while the tempo is a bit fast, it's one of those songs that is actually faster in tempo than it sounds, so you don't feel that it is too fast when you dance it.
Song Lyrics:
Dance: Slow Waltz
Bars per Minute: 33
This song has slightly challenging tempo such as pauses in the music that might make it unsuitable for teaching situations or novice dancers.
Too fast for competition.
