"Let Her Dance" is a song by the Bobby Fuller Four. It was the group's fourth single under Del-Fi Records, and the first to achieve national attention.
"Let Her Dance" is a modified version of an earlier Bobby Fuller song, "Keep on Dancing". The modifications came as a result of producer Bob Keane, who slowed it down and added a bottle-tapping rhythm to it (inspired by Fuller's brother Randy tapping to the song with a beer bottle). Randy Fuller was also responsible for remaking the bass line.
The single was first released in June 1965 on Mustang Records, backed with "Another Sad and Lonely Night". While becoming a local hit on the Los Angeles charts, it underperformed on the national charts, missing the Top 100 at No. 133. It was re-released multiple times afterwards (including a release by Liberty Records), but it did little to change its chart status. Despite this, it remained a popular song for the group, and was performed live on Shivaree and Where the Action Is. It was also released on the LP KRLA King of the Wheels in 1965, and later on I Fought the Law in 1966.
