"You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" is a song credited to British-Australian singerLeo Sayer, taken from his 1976 albumEndless Flight.

Ray Parker Jr. claims that the song was stolen from him, after he played it in a studio for an executive who promised he would get credit. Parker received no royalties and no credit for that song. "It's not Leo's fault," he toldVariety. "He tried to cut six or seven more of my songs just because he felt so bad."[3]

"You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" reached No. 1 on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100 chart,[4] making it his first top single in the United States, and reached No. 2 on theUK Singles Chart.[5]Billboard ranked it as theNo. 13 song of 1977. Credited songwriters Sayer andVini Poncia won aGrammy Award for the song in1978 inBest R&B Song. Parker has stated that he was the original songwriter and that when he gave the tune as a demo his accreditation as such was missed.[6] Like other Sayer songs from that time, it features extensive use of the singer'sfalsetto voice, a very popularvocal register in disco-era songs. Sayer performed the song in the thirteenth episode of the second season of "Saturday Night Live" andthe second episode of season 3 ofThe Muppet Show.
