Love this song. The 80's were the best. MUCHMUSIC was cool back then. Ahh the memories. Cheers

Candi & The Backbeat (initially named Candi) was a pop band from Toronto fronted by lead vocalist Candita "Candy" Pennella. Band members included Nino Milazzo (bass and background vocals), Paul Russo (drums and percussion), and Rich Imbrogno (keyboards). The band is best known among U.S. audiences for the freestyle classic "Dancing Under a Latin Moon", a major dance hit which also made number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988. The band, renamed Candi & The Backbeat, released the album World Keeps on Turning in 1990. The title track from the album was nominated for the Best Dance Recording at the Juno Awards of 1991.

And suddenly I am 14 again. Thank you Candi!

2020 and this song is STILL a great song!😀👍

2018 and this song still sounds great!

Just heard this on the radio! Don't think I've heard it in 25 years, now I can't get it out of my head!

This song brings back high school memories I danced with two friends who were twin sisters to this song.

damn mrs russo 😂😂 she actually had a singing career thats so cool

I still have the 12" remix on vinyl! LOVE THIS SONG!!!

I used to sing this all the time in the playground. Now I sing this to my 7 year old daughter. Love my 80’s.

I wish this album would become available on iTunes.

Use to listen to this song all the time when I was at work delivering in a truck. Timeless song........

Use to listen to this great song on the radio in my dad's old 1985 Chevy van, Fun times I had in that van with my friends listening to great music like this one on the radio while we would be playing cards in the back ( and yes that's what we did not the the other messed up stuff you are thinking we weren't stupid)

With enough views of her videos, the record label could take notice, and sign them up to iTunes. It's happened before, but all depends on who owns the rights to the music, and what they want to do with it. Thanks for the comment...and lets keep our fingers crossed. ;-)

Someone should seriously remake this song! It would be an instant hit! Still sounds great!

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. :-)

A time where I wasn't under the shackles of impressing the opposite sex, worrying about bills that keep on coming and other grownup BS... Just one goal: having fun every day! Those days... Long gone...

High School Dances memories ! Thanks you sooo much

I always loved this song! But I also liked her other songs too.

I remember they tried to make her like the Canadian Madonna.

Muchmore music back then in the 80's up to the early 90s use to be good with music like this but now they suck.

Reminds me of when I was driving my Renault Fuego and listening to KMEL from San Francisco...when did I turn into the old fart I am now?

eating candy brought me here

I kept hearing this song on the radio and I thought it was pretty good never knew it was same girl who sang Under your Spell now I know.

Canada's answer to Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. Definitely more talented than the former, but probably not as much as Gibson (who was honestly something of a teen prodigy in writing and even producing her own songs). This one got to #68 on the Hot 100 but deserved to be a much bigger hit in the US. Cobie Smulders likely had Candi and early-nineties Alanis in mind when she played Robin Sparkles.

this song reminds me of mia martinas latin moon song

'Dancing under a Latin mooooon...'

Candi & The Backbeat deserve a resurgence

Is it just me or FOXES has a resemblance to Candi?

Mrs.Russo turnt up!😂😂

👍🙏🙏🙏👍😊👍

🎺🎷🎺🎸

Check out Jian Ghomeshi in black and white striped shirt on drums....

Where is she today

Where is candi from?
