In 1985, English rock legends Mick Jagger and David Bowie collaborated on a successful cover of "Dancing in the Street" to raise money for the Live Aid famine relief cause. But who wrote the original song?
Answer Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye, William Stevenson, and Ivy Jo Hunter wrote the song "Dancing in the Street." It originally gained popularity in 1964 when Martha and the Vandellas covered it. The Mamas and the Papas' 1966 version had modest success as well. However, it was Mick Jagger's and David Bowie's rendition that cemented its iconic status.
