In a 2018 interview, via American Songwriter, keyboardist Sherman Kelly shared the horrific tale. Prefacing the story, he said he and his girlfriend got seasick on their boat trip to the island of St. Croix. Thankful to be ashore, they decided to sleep on the beach rather than on the boat to avoid further illness. Shockingly, they were later awoken by a gang of violent attackers.
Fortunately, the pair survived, and while Kelly was recovering from the brutal attack, he wrote “Dancing in the Moonlight” with lyrics inspired by an “alternate reality” as a dream of peace and joy.
Founded in 1969, King Harvestformed while its core four — Dave “Doc” Robinson, Ron Altbach, Ed Tuleja, and Rod Novak — were attending Cornell University. Following a brief breakup in 1971, the group reformed in Paris, France, where Wells Kelly joined. It’s around this time when the drummer brought the band his brother’s song.
That said, there is still dancing. And there will forever be moonlight. Thanks to a resurgence on screens big and small, with “Dancing in the Moonlight” featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy video game, Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, and Riz Ahmed's brilliantly dark, satirical indie comedy Four Lions, the soft rock band’s signature track continues to win over new generations of listeners.
