Would you dance with a stranger? - Mari Wilson

I do have a few Mari Wilson singles, but I wasn't familiar with this one. The sleeve leapt out at me, because her name was on it but the woman on the sleeve didn't look anything like her! Turns out this is a track from a movie, and the woman on the sleeve apparently plays in it. (Fortunately a small picture of Mari Wilson herself appears on the back of the sleeve.)

Dance with a stranger is a British film from 1985, and the title track is a cover version of Peggy Lee's 1951 track. The film made a comfortable profit. Goldcrest Films invested £253,000 in the film and received £361,000, making them a profit of £108,000. Mari Wilson's single, however, didn't chart.

My collection: 7" single no. 7622
Found: Record fair, Rijswijk, 30 March 2025
Tracks: 'Would you dance with a stranger?' / 'Ruth's bedroom (dialogue)', 'Jazz break'
