The Beach Boys' version of "Do You Wanna Dance?" was released as a single in February 1965, and served as the opening track to their album The Beach Boys Today! the following month. It is distinguished from the original through its lush orchestration, three-part vocal arrangement, and instrumental bridge key change. Dillon speculated that the rendition may have been inspired by the version by Del Shannon, who had recently recorded the song, although the Beach Boys' version bears a "closer resemblance" to an earlier version by Cliff Richard and the Shadows. It was the first song the group recorded at Gold Star, Spector's favorite studio, and their second song that employed a timpani.
Special thanks to Joyce for her amazing blend of vocals . We hope ya'll enjoy your listen. TY for listening!
