Orleans: Dance with Orleans
Chris Charlesworth, Melody Maker, 6 November 1976
FOR A band that was formed virtually by accident one night on a European tour four years ago, Orleans have now come a long way, although their music seems to have been sadly overlooked in England. Their recording of 'Dance With Me', a US hit last year, failed to make the grade in Britain while their current US hit, 'Still The One', has also been overlooked.
