Not to be confused with any song of the same name, this Cozy Powell drum solo is said to be based loosely on the Hendrix track Third Stone From The Sun, in spite of the obvious tempo difference.

Wikipedia – Dance With the Devil:
The bass player on Cozy Powell’s Dance with the Devil is Suzi Quatro.
The song (and the background shouts) forms the basis for the intro of the songs Rasputin and Nightflight to Venus by the group Boney M. Part of the song was used in Right Said Fred’s song I’m Too Sexy.
