Dance Girl

Recorded by The Rimshots, a New York-based studio funk group assembled around arranger and producer Walter Morris, during sessions that blended tight rhythm-section playing with dance-floor-oriented arrangements. The track featured the group's characteristic combination of driving drums, bass grooves and soulful vocals. Released in 1972, the recording helped establish The Rimshots within the emerging independent funk scene. Its infectious groove and club-friendly arrangement made it a favorite among DJs and dancers despite limited mainstream exposure. The track became a respected rare-groove classic and later attracted attention from hip-hop producers and collectors seeking obscure funk recordings. It remains one of the most recognized tracks in The Rimshots' catalogue and a notable example of early-1970s East Coast funk.
