Eagles songwriter Jack Tempchin has teamed up with Rita Coolidge for a duet of his classic hit “Slow Dancing,” which he wrote more than 40 years ago.
The song arrives with a music video, which Billboard is exclusively premiering below, showing couples of all ages “swayin’ to the music,” just as the lyrics suggest.

“Slow Dancing” was first released by Tempchin’s band the Funky Kings on their 1976 self-titled album. The next year, Johnny Rivers released a version under the title “Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin’)” that went gold. Olivia Newton-John, Unicorn and many others have also famously released covers.
The song is from Tempchin’s new album Peaceful Easy Feeling – The Songs of Jack Tempchin and is available for instant-grat download with pre-orders of the project.
