“Dancing Barefoot”, Patti Smith

This way: Dancing Barefoot

"Dancing Barefoot" is a rock song written by Patti Smith and Ivan Král, and released as a second single from the Patti Smith Group's 1979 album Wave. According to the album sleeve, the song was dedicated to women such as Amedeo Modigliani's mistress Jeanne Hébuterne. 

Wave is the fourth and final studio album by the Patti Smith Group. It was released on May 17, 1979, by Arista Records. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the album continued the band's move towards more radio-friendly mainstream pop rock sound. Wave garnered a mixed reception from music critics and was less successful than its predecessor, Easter (1978). However, the songs "Frederick" and "Dancing Barefoot" both received commercial airplay. In 2010, the song ranked number 331 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
