Dance Unto The Rhythm is the tenth track on Louie Louie's second album Let's Get Started. The song was written by Prince (as Paisley Park) and Michael Koppelman and produced by Prince (as Paisley Park).
While specific recording dates are not known, Michael Koppelman recorded music in March, 1991 at Larrabee Sound, Los Angeles, CA, USA, which Prince then added lyrics and vocals to to create the full song (Michael Koppelman's recording immediately followed his creation of music for Ingrid Chavez's tracks Wintersong and Candle Dance, of which Prince was very impressed). Louie Louie's vocal overdubs were recorded at Sideways Recording, Santa Ana, CA, USA, but recording dates are not known.
