"Dance Little Sister" is a song by Terence Trent D'Arby, the third single (fourth in the US) from the 1987 album Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby.
The single reached the UK Top 20 as well as #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1988. As was common for big-selling artists at that time, the singles were released in a plethora of limited editions on multiple formats, including a full eight and a half minute version (entitled "Part One and Two" on some releases), and a remix by Shep Pettibone, again released in a short (3:45) and long (8:45) version.
Upon release columnist of Pan-European magazine Music & Media made a conclusion that this "hot James Brown like funk single will further boost sales" of D'Arby's debut album.[3]
