I remember hearing a story about Shannon back on the old Casey Kasem show. I think Shannon made a pledge to herself that if she didn't hit #1 on the Dance Charts with her first single, she'd give up music forever. Well, she did hit #1 with her first single (this one). She also hit #1 with her SECOND single, "Give Me Tonight", and later a third time with "Do You Wanna Get Away". This is one of those songs that never leaves your brain, ever. This was right in the same wheel house as artists like Teena Marie. There are a few others that you haven't checked out, though. "Meeting in the Ladies Room" by Klymaxx, "Mercedes Boy" by Pebbles, "The Way You Love Me" by Karyn White; "A Love Bizarre" by Sheila E. (feat. Prince), and "Everybody Everybody" by Black Box.

It was 1984 and I was out one very hot Saturday night on the west side of Chicago at a very popular dance club. Like always, the dance floor was packed shoulder to shoulder by all these amazingly talented, beautiful couples just tearing up the dance floor. For reasons I can't recall, probably heat exhaustion, around 1:30 am the dance floor was empty for a brief period and Shannon's "Let the Music Play" fired up and right away a couple ran out there that were very different from all the folks you'd normally see out there dancing for they were both very large and considerably older than everyone else. I remember better than half the people in the club were either giving them a ""Are you two serious?" type looks and many pointing and laughing with their friends. I thought it was absolutely awesome that these two folks, who appeared to be in love, having a beautiful night out and didn't have a single f*ck to give what anybody else in that club thought and just blew me away with how much fun they were having. You should have seen them out there just gliding around the dance floor as if they were were skating on ice. She was mouthing the words and the two of them were acting out the lyrics to the song. By the time the song had ended I don't think there was a person in the club that wasn't part of this amazing roar of approval at the conclusion their moment out there alone on the dance floor. For some reason this sticks with me and it's probably because it was one of the most beautiful, awesome feeling and kick-ass displays that I've ever witnessed.

This is what we call FREESTYLE. Freestyle music is the best genre of EDM (electronic dance music). Freestyle was huge in the 80's and 90's. Freestyle is still popular today. I just went to a huge Freesyle concert in Orlando at the Amway Center, 20k people attended.

I suggested this almost a year ago, glad you got around to it. The song is basically dance club culture, dancing with a stranger before even knowing their name, unspoken vibes, but no one is committed to dance with the same person. So she was getting her groove on with a guy, then another song came on and he moved on to dance with someone else and she is just trusting the music and the groove to bring him back to her. This was a very common occurence in the clubs back then. The other band of this genre I think of is PLANET PATROL with tracks like Cheap Thrills, Play it at your own risk, and I didn't know I loved you til I saw you rock and roll.

Shannon was one of the first to introduce Latin Freestyle into the clubs. Latin freestyle was a popular genre in the 80s, characterized by sporadic, dark, syncopated rhythms (similar to Latin American rhythms) and synths out the wazoo. It became a fast, cheap way to make hits. Thanks for this video! That said, you guys should react to some of Alisha's stuff. All Night Passion, Do You Dream About Me? (from the movie Mannequin featuring a young Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall) , and Too Turned On are some of her popular ones.

What’s interesting is that freestyle music was mostly created by blacks and latins, like hip hop in the beginning especially in the Bronx. Blacks artists developed hip hop and Latin artists developed Latin freestyle which was a hybrid of club, some disco elements, minor keys heavy, hip hop elements and synth pop elements. As the genre grew more Latin influenced beats came in as well.

Glad you guys discovered the 'FREESTYLE' genre. Basically it's like love/break-up songs, done to a dance beat, during the early to mid-80's up to early 90's (were the height of the genre's popularity, even though songs are still made to this day). NYC was on fire (when i was kid) to this music! Clubs, parties, block parties, you name it! Mostly Latino and Italian-American artists sang the songs, as well as black artists, like Shannon, Joyce Sims, Trinere, Nayobe, Monet, etc... My faves were Stevie B, The Cover Girls, Sweet Sensation, Sa-Fire, TKA, Cynthia, Noel, Coro, Fascination, Expose, Judy Torres, Sandee, Alisha... so many more! Y'all should DEFINITELY do more of this genre!

Also to add it was /is very popular in big urban areas with large latino, black, Italian population in NYC/NJ, Illinois (Chicago), Michigan (Detroit), LA/San Diego, California, the Bay area in CA, Florida (Orlando, Miami), Philly, Toronto (Canada), Texas (Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus, El Paso), DC, overseas in Italy. I agree though that the heavy presence and start up was on the east coast (NYC/NJ and Miami, FL) Many great Freestyle artists came from there. Also Filipinos and Filipino-Americans love it.

This song was created with a synthesizer and drum machine only. One man mixed them both together in the studio to bring out all the little nuances of what was the finished project. I was not a fan of so called “disco” music back then but during my stint as a radio DJ in the late seventies and early eighties, I played this song often because of the tremendous drum line in it. And I really liked the way Shannon sang it. It even has a synthesized cowbell in it.

YAAAAAASSSS!!! This is known as Freestyle. There is soooooo much in this genre! And she ALWAYS had everyone dancing! Thank you! This is what I grew up with! Give me tonight is the next one to listen to! And as for Freestyle, Lisa Lisa was one of the biggest breakthroughs into mainstream from freestyle, but Marc Anthony (you reacted to Vivir Mi Vida) and India ( you neeeeeeeeed to react to Dancing on the Fire) became a new set of Legends in their own right. And both of them started in Freestyle

This is such a killer song! Definitely a favorite. Definitely danced the night away to this.

This song was all over the radio. I can remember the boom box playing this song and also "That's All" by Genesis ( Phil Collins)in the girls locker room after PE! I don't know why those two songs stick out except they were both monster hits around the same time. Good night I can still smell the White Rain aerosol hairspray and "Sure" spray deodorant permeating that locker room!! Lol!

One of my favorites from the 80's. I graduated in '83 and LOVED and still love to dance to this. High school dances where everyone would just stand around, waiting for someone else to start....well, meet "someone else" because there was no time to stand around!!! It was time to dance!!!! And if I do say so myself, I have rhythm lol. I don't know how or why, but my body just moves perfectly with the beat! Maybe not as fast as I use to tho ;) ANOTHER great song that makes you move is by CeCe Peniston, "Finally"

Congratulations, you two! Y'all just slipped down the "freestyle" rabbit hole. Mid to late 80s club music, especially big in the northeast.

Shannon was part of the Freestyle Dance movement (not to be confused with Freestyle Rap). This is a kind of electronic dance music that was popular in the mid to late 80s, which I don't think you've reacted to until now. It was mostly an underground dance club scene, but some songs like this one did hit the charts. It competed with New Wave Synth dance clubs. You can read about this music style in the Freestyle Music article in Wikipedia. If you do any more freestyle songs, I highly recommend the following: The Cover Girls - Because Of You - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ormnd7J2s92ygmw.html Expose - Exposed to Love - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJl9eqVpttqwl30.html Cynthia - Thief of Hearts - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8pkZbl7nafLnok.html There are tons of others! Rob will especially love these songs!

We used to break on laid out refrigerator boxes at the Rogers Station subway station in Baltimore. Our "DJ " made a crude mix of this jam and we killed an 8 minute set. 2 Pop lock boys, 2 flyers, and 2 ground men - we used to battle that sh**.

So many extended mix versions of this song back then as well. There was even a version playing on the airline radio station you had a choice from with those little movie headsets you got for long overseas flights. I remember expecting elevator music but there was actual relatively modern music which was a bit of a surprise. Especially as I had neglected to pack extra batteries for my walkman...

Once a B-Boy, Always B-Boy, with that being said... In the eighties we had a Breaking Show that was being performed in a mall and the news crews were there, to put it in a segment. This was the song that we did our Breaking Routine to 🔥👊✌️

Shannon also had "Give Me Tonight" which was my favorite of hers. I'm sure you would love too. Please react to that one. Please also react to Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's very first hit "Take Me Home". They had similar sounds. As someone else mentioned here, Shannon was more of an underground dance music scene in the early to mid 1980s.

This was a couple years before Kid N Play, 1984, but I love that you know the references and its spot on. Kid N Play was the look of 88, but this song would fit in with that. This song didn't sound old even in the 90s

This song...omg!!! It makes you want to dance..move, anything to that catchy beat. I watched both of you rock out to the beat of this song. In the 80's, in a disco when this song was played, it took control of the body, you had to get up and dance. Love love this song!!!

This song was THE JAM at the time, especially when it was a new hit, it beat all the other songs!! Jay at 5:00 and Amber at 5:21 is EXACTLY how we danced in the clubs to black/r&b songs in the 80s at the clubs. This was Shannon's main jam and ALWAYS STILL packs the dance floor!!

This song is often cited as the first latin freestyle crossover hit! It was often played along with madonnas Holiday out at the same time on the radio ushering in a new era of post-disco dance music

oooooh yeah, you guys dove into "freestyle"! It really is the perfect song to kick it off as it was the freestyle sound's first hit in 83/84. Freestyle/Latin Freestyle was such an underrated subgenre during the mid to late 80s and featured a whole bunch of hits by Expose, Sweet Sensation, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam (you did Head to Toe previously), Debbie Deb, Stevie B, Cover Girls, TKA and so much more. Even pop artists like Taylor Dayne, Pretty Poison, Milli Vanilli and more tapped into the sound to have some of their biggest hits. I've been so excited to see you guys dig your teeth into freestyle. It was all over the clubs in those days. Here's 2 recommended songs that would go great on Female Friday: Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam- Wonder if I Take You Home and/or Expose - Point of No Return. And that's just for starters
