Orleans is a 1970s rock band, best known today for "Dance with Me" and "Still the One". The band was founded in 1972 by Wells Kelly, John Hall and Larry and Lance Hoppen (see 1972 in music). Their debut was Orleans (1973). Their label, ABC Records, dropped the group, though, and their next album, Let There Be Magic, came out on Asylum Records in 1974. One of the singles, "Dance with Me", became a huge hit in 1975 (see 1975 in music).

"Still the One" was their second big hit, and comes off their follow-up LP Waking and Dreaming. In 1977, Hall left to begin a solo career and would go on to be active in the anti-nuclear program. Orleans, meanwhile, got another hit with Forever's "Love Takes Time". They continued performing, in spite of a diminishing audience, and released One of a Kind in 1982. Kelly died of a heroin overdose in 1984. Hall quit his solo career and reunited with the band in the early 1990s, releasing a few recordings on its own Major Records.
