Dancing in the Dark
“Dancing in the Dark” was written in 1931 by Arthur Schwartz (music) and Howard Dietz (lyrics) for the revue The Band Wagon. The song became a jazz and pop standard, performed by artists like Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett. Decades later, the same title was made famous again by Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 anthem, creating a fun overlap between two very different classics. Here, Jason Paul performs the original 1931 “Dancing in the Dark” with acoustic guitar and voice, giving a stripped-down take on this timeless standard. 👉 Who did it better – Springsteen or Schwartz?
