Orleans (band)
Orleans is an American pop-rock band best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet.
History
Early days: from a trio to a quartet
Drummer Wells Kelly (son of Cornell's Dean of Architecture, Burnham Kelly) first met John Hall, an in-demand session player and member of the group Kangaroo, in the late 60s when he played with him in a group called Thunderfrog and later played on John's first solo album, Action, released in 1970.
Duke of Orléans
Duke of Orléans (French: Duc d'Orléans) was a title reserved for French royalty, first created during the 14th century. Known as princes of the blood (princes du sang), the title of Duke of Orléans was given, when available, to the oldest brother of the king. Thus, they formed a collateral line of the French royal family, with an eventual right to succeed to the throne should more senior princes of the blood die out.
During the period of the ancien régime the holder of the title often assumed a political role. The Orléans branch of the House of Valois came to the throne with Louis XII (15th century). Louis Philippe II, fifth Duke of Orléans, contributed to the destruction of the ancient regime. At the head of a retrospectively named 'Orleanist' faction centred on the Palais Royal, he contested the authority of his cousin Louis XVI in the adjacent Louvre. His son would eventually ascend the throne in 1830 following the July Revolution as Louis-Philippe I, King of the French. The descendants of the family are the Orléanist pretenders to the French throne, and the title has been used by several members of the House. The holder of the title held the style of Serene Highness.

Miss. Grace
by: OrleansWell, I might not be able to say it out loud
I been watching you from across the crowd, baby
Just as soon as I get the chance
I'll happen to be there when you want to dance
Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said, I get tongue tied, I can?t move my feet
Well, some other guys might hand you a line
If you like sweet talk I guess that, that's fine
I won't deceive you with grandiose plans
I put it to you, you'll know I'm your man
Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said that I get tongue tied, I can?t move my feet
Tell me why it should be
That you have this effect on me
Why should I be shy with you?
I guess body English will just have to do
Some people sit and talk for days
They say funky music's a passing craze
Once we start to shake it on out
We'll give them something to talk about, yeah
Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said that I get tongue tied, I can?t move my feet
Tongue tied when I have to speak
Baby, baby, baby
I get tongue tied and I can?t move my feet
