Dancing in the Dark (1931) – Jason Paul Performs the Classic Schwartz & Dietz Tune 🎶

“Dancing in the Dark” was written in 1931 by Arthur Schwartz (music) and Howard Dietz (lyrics) for the revue The Band Wagon. The song became a jazz and pop standard, performed by artists like Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett.

Decades later, the same title was made famous again by Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 anthem, creating a fun overlap between two very different classics.

Here, Jason Paul performs the original 1931 “Dancing in the Dark” with acoustic guitar and voice, giving a stripped-down take on this timeless standard.
