Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

Who knew that the late, great Doug Bennett and his Slugs did covers? This particular tune was written by Bill Danoff and John Carroll. They were better known as the two men in Starland Vocal Band. Bill's wife Taffy and Margot Chapman provided the high, swooping vocals to their one hit Afternoon Delight. They recorded for John Denver's boutique label Windsong.(Bill Danoff co-wrote John's first smash Take Me Home, Country Roads. Given that John Denver and Doug and the Slugs had deals with RCA, wonder if that connection led to the band discovering Who Knows How To Make Love Stay?
