Let's Dance! is the 17th album by popular family entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in the fall of 1995. This was the first Sharon, Lois & Bram album to feature a different repretoire of carefully selected pop tunes spanning over four decades of music from the 40s to the 70s. Unlike other Sharon, Lois & Bram albums, Let's Dance! features a smaller collection of songs, although each song is lengthier than those songs found on other albums of the trio.
"Let's Dance! is all about tunes and grooves, moves and memories. It's music for tots and kiddos and parents and grandparents. It's songs you hum, steps you dance, connections you make, fun you have. It comes from our hearts to yours... to pass on to the children and to remind us once again that a really great song has the power to catch you and keep you. Then - now - and forevermore."
The album "contains simple, upbeat renditions of pop favorites from the likes of The Beatles and Stevie Wonder". The album also features songs by other famous artists such as Melanie Safka, Nat King Cole, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Barry Mann. The album was not meant to recreate the originals, but to "give them a kind of '90s, contemporary touch"
The album was reviewed shortly after it was released and it was deemed "Sharon, Lois & Bram pull yet another one out of their trunk! Sharon, Lois & Bram's new release, Let's Dance! is a moving experience. Try to keep from dancing, Mom & Dad! Four decades of popular music are covered by this energetic, talented Canadian vocal trio...tight arrangements, great colors and up-front vocals. The producer is Emmy Award-winner Jamie Lawrence, whose producing bio includes Anita Baker, Michael Bolton, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Frank Sinatra. [The Album] is true to the original tunes, but uses the musical tools of the 90s...The album is great listening with nice dance grooves. So go buy it and Let's Dance!"
