"You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" is a song credited to British singer Leo Sayer, taken from his 1976 album Endless Flight. It reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart,[3] making it his first top single in the United States, and reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] Billboard ranked it as the No. 13 song of 1977. Credited songwriters Sayer and Vini Poncia won a Grammy Award for the song in 1978 in the category Best R&B Song. Ray Parker Jr. has stated that he was the original song writer, and that when he gave the tune as a demo his accreditation as such was missed.[5] Like other Sayer songs from that time, it features extensive use of the singer's falsetto voice, a very popular vocal register in the songs of the disco era.
