Here's the story of a dancing Brady...
Season 32 of Dancing With the Stars welcomes former The Brady Bunch star Barry Williams to its cast, and Williams kicked things off with a tribute to his 1970s television show.
Williams and his partner Peta Murgatroyd danced a foxtrot to "It's a Sunshine Day" by the Brady Bunch, which was released in 1972 on The Kids From the Brady Bunch, the third studio album from the six actors who starred as the Brady children on the long-running series. The song was also featured in a season 4 episode of the show, "Amateur Nite."
