"Shadow Dancing" is a disco song performed by English singer-songwriter Andy Gibb that reached number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Albhy Galuten (who also produced this song) arranged the song with Barry Gibb. While Andy Gibb would have three more Top 10 hits in the U.S., this would be his final chart-topping hit in America. The song became a platinum record.
Song development
The song was written by Andy and his brothers (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb) in Los Angeles, while the trio of brothers were working on the film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. "And one night," Andy would recall, "while we were relaxing, we sat down and we had to start getting tracks together for the album" (also titled Shadow Dancing, which would eventually hit #7 on the U.S. album charts). "So we literally sat down and in ten minutes, we had a group going, (singing) the chorus part. As it says underneath the song, we all wrote it, the four of us."
Release
According to Billboard's Book Of Number One Hits, Gibb became the first solo artist in the history of the U.S. pop charts to have his first three singles hit the number-one spot. Additionally, "Shadow Dancing" was listed by Billboard as being the number one single of 1978. In addition the song peaked at number eleven on the soul chart and sold 2.5 million copies in the United States alone. Its two B-sides "Let It Be Me" appeared on US version and "Too Many Looks In Your Eyes" was from his previous album Flowing Rivers.
"Shadow Dancing" is an episode from the third season of the science fiction television series Babylon 5.
Synopsis
Captain Sheridan stages a major battle against the forces of the Shadows.
After discerning the Shadows' plans to gather thousands of refugee ships into sector 83 in order to obliterate them all and thus demoralize their opponents, Sheridan and Delenn work to convince their allies to send as many ships as they can for a planned preemptive strike against the Shadows.
Dr. Franklin is still on "Walkabout" following his resignation from his medical duties after admitting to his addiction to stims.
Commander Ivanova is ordered by Sheridan to take the White Star and scout sector 83 before their primary armada arrives. Ivanova has trouble sleeping on the inclined Minbari beds and decides to rip the pillows off of all of them and create a makeshift bed on the floor. However, before she could gain some sleep, Marcus Cole detects the presence of a Shadow scout ship. The White Star is detected by the enemy ship and Ivanova is forced to pursue the ship and destroy it. The White Star incurs heavy damage, its engines disabled. As the automatic repair systems kick in, a massive Shadow armada emerges from hyperspace en route to the primary target. Risking detection from the enemy fleet, Marcus sends the signal to their own fleet to jump out of hyperspace.
Shadow Dancing is the second album by Englishsinger-songwriter and teen idol Andy Gibb, released in April 1978 in the United States and September 1978 in the United Kingdom. It was Gibb's highest charting album in some countries including America and in Canada. This LP was his only album to chart in the UK. The album had released four singles including the three US Top 10 and one single that was not charted elsewhere.
Continuing the momentum of his first successes, notably "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", he began work with the Gibb-Galuten-Richardson production team on his second album. Although the album is not currently in print, it was released to iTunes along with the other two Andy Gibb albums in 2011.
Recording
Gibb's second album was made under the direction of Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson, mostly while Barry, Robin and Maurice were off filming Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band up to January. Shadow Dancing was recorded from December 1977 to February 1978. Barry again was executive producer and was present during recording of a few of the songs. John Sambataro, who sang backing and harmony vocals on the non-Barry songs, plays slide guitar. Sambataro later worked with Dave Mason and McGuinn, Clark and Hillman and he later joined Firefall. "Why" has feature a slide guitar by John Sambataro, as well as the guitar work of Jock Bartley of Firefall, "I Go for You" features guitar work by Don Felder of Eagles.

Andy Gibb ~ Shadow Dancing 1978 Disco Purrfection Version
Forty one years ago on April 15, 1978, Andy Gibb released his biggest hit ever, "Shadow Dancing" that spent seven weeks at #1. I remember the first time I heard Andy Gibb singing "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and it remains a high point for me from the summer of 1977. The opening fanfare of the single is instantly recognizable and it fades just as Andy begins to vocalize. It spent four weeks at #1 and then the Bee Gees spectacular run of hits dominated the summer of 1978 and in the middle of that summer came Andy's biggest hit, "Shadow Dancing" that made him an icon in his own right. Well, when "Shadow Dancing" hit #1 Andy became the first solo artist in the history of charted music to have had his first three singles become #1 hits. He was the golden boy!

It spent four weeks at #1 and then the Bee Gees spectacular run of hits dominated the summer of 1978 and in the middle of that summer came Andy's biggest hit, "Shadow Dancing" that made him an icon in his own right. Well, when "Shadow Dancing" hit #1 Andy became the first solo artist in the history of charted music to have had his first three singles become #1 hits. He was the golden boy! He had written the song with his brothers who were working on the Sgt Pepper movie. Did you know that Joe Walsh and Don Felder both played on the record and the producers had secured the talents of the same string musicians who did the strings on LP "Hotel California" for the Eagles to play on the recording of "Shadow Dancing". And the strings are amazing, hypnotizing, perfectly adding texture and a slightly un-balancing feel. His popularity chartwise allowed him to secure three more top 10 hits, "An Everlasting Love" #5, "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" #9 and then "Desire" #4. His duet with Olivia Newton John "I Can't Help It" peaked at #12, then his duet with Victoria Principal a cover of the Everly Brothers chestnut "All I Have To Do Is Dream" #51. He acted and sang in "The Pirates Of Penzance" revival in the US and Canada. TV show Solid Gold brought him on as a host in 81 amd Gibb left the following year. In 1988, we all were shocked to hear that Andy passed on March 10. I mean he was so young and I knew he was going through some shit in a very public way, but I never figured his death would be sooner than later. At the time Andy was ready to record again and while in the studio, suffered severe abdominal pains and went to emergency. It turned out it was an inflammatory heart virus that killed him. It was an early end to a spectacular life that should have allowed him to live much longer, but as they say the brightest stars often burn out the quickest. After his death, Maurice resumed his heavy drinking as a way to deal with his brother's death and the Bee Gees recorded a tribute to Andy called "Wish You Were Here" the following year. The group returned to touring, but Barry's chronic back pain and arthritis limited the length of their tours.

"Shadow Dancing" is a disco song performed by English singer-songwriter Andy Gibb that reached number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Albhy Galuten (who also produced this song) arranged the song with Barry Gibb. While Andy Gibb would have three more Top 10 hits in the U.S., this would be his final chart-topping hit in America. The song became a platinum record.
Song development
The song was written by Andy and his brothers (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb) in Los Angeles, while the trio of brothers were working on the film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. "And one night," Andy would recall, "while we were relaxing, we sat down and we had to start getting tracks together for the album" (also titled Shadow Dancing, which would eventually hit #7 on the U.S. album charts). "So we literally sat down and in ten minutes, we had a group going, (singing) the chorus part. As it says underneath the song, we all wrote it, the four of us."
Release
According to Billboard's Book Of Number One Hits, Gibb became the first solo artist in the history of the U.S. pop charts to have his first three singles hit the number-one spot. Additionally, "Shadow Dancing" was listed by Billboard as being the number one single of 1978. In addition the song peaked at number eleven on the soul chart and sold 2.5 million copies in the United States alone. Its two B-sides "Let It Be Me" appeared on US version and "Too Many Looks In Your Eyes" was from his previous album Flowing Rivers.
Spoiler alert! The following contains details from the series finale of FX's "What We Do in the Shadows." ... The vampires of "What We Do in the Shadows" are no more ... With a song, a dance, a great pop-culture parody and just the right amount of mundanity.

Directed by Jennie Reznek, the show explores themes of community, connection and individuality through song, dance and shadow puppetry ... with the perfect blend of catchy songs, dance and laughter.
Meanwhile, the shadow puppets continue to illustrate each song ... Beam’s songwriting is already rich in imagery, so on a song such as Cutting ItClose, the storybook tale being told with dancing shadow puppets distracts rather than aids the imagination.
