It was written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and was later remixed by John Luongo . It is notable for being Adams ' first solo single and his first ever release as a solo artist when he was 18 . Contents 1 Background 2 Remixes 2.1 Adams ' disavowing 3 Releases 3.1 Availability 4 Personnel 5 References Background ( edit ) A disco influenced pop song in its original mix , the popular remixed version of the song is even more disco - oriented . It was one of the first songs that Adams and Vallance wrote together and was based on a rag - time piano riff that Vallance had written . The writing took place during February 1978 and the song was recorded at Pinewood Studios by Geoff Turner . The song was originally released as a pop song , but was taken by his record company and remixed . Remixes ( edit ) Although the single had some minor radio success , respected remixer John Luongo was recruited to make it sound like a proper disco track ready for release in the United States . The song went to number 22 on the disco chart . Adams ' disavowing ( edit ) Luongo chose to increase the tempo of the song , but there was no time - compression technology at that time so this increased the pitch of Adams ' vocals . Adams was disappointed with the speeded - up sound . Adams has only performed it live on a handful of occasions . Despite being a single , neither `` Let Me Take You Dancing '' ( except for the 12 '' disco mix ) or its B Side , `` Do n't Turn Me Away '' , has appeared on an official CD release as of 2014 , nor has been available for purchase online . As of 2016 , Web Sheriff , which Bryan Adams is a client of , actively blocks any attempts to upload this song digitally , especially on YouTube .
