Tough song question

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out the name of a song in the movie. Since I don't have the soundtrack in my hands yet, I decided to call upon those of higher Roller Boogie knowledge. The song in question can be heard in the background when Terry and Lana first pull up into parking lot at the roller rink and Bobby and his friends come over to have a look at the car and the girls. The audio for the song is so low that one can barely make out the lyrics but the voice sounds like Donna Summer and the string section echoes of Xanadu. This is right before the Boogie Wonderland sequence. Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Thanks.

According to the end credits, the song is called "Night Dancer". It's performed by Jean Shy (written by Bob Esty) The song was not included on the Roller Boogie Soundtrack album, I am not sure if the song was ever released on tape or CD. (There are vinyl copies on eBay)

Super! Thanks for the help. I watched the end credits go by too and Night Dancer was one of several songs I had it narrowed down to. See ya at the next roller boogie contest.
