OMG - flashback! I used to play the original 12" vinyl when I was a DJ in a private members' club in 1984. Her voice is divine, and the musical arrangement was way ahead of its time. Many future high energy disco funk tracks took inspiration from this. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Love this song. I was 13 when this came out. Brings back good memories of school discos :-) I could body-pop for England in those days. If I body-pop now I would pull a muscle and it would hurt for a week.
Back in 1983 when Let the Music Play was recorded, Shannon sang the chorus (as heard here) along with Jimi Tunnell, but the producers thought Jimi sounded so great as the "voice of love", they used only his vocals on the chorus (as heard on the original)
Caraca! Eu estava atrás desta versão há décadas. Para mim esta é a melhor versão para este hit. Curti e dancei bastante ao som da mesma que bombou num dos últimos meses de 1989. Show!!!

The added hits at @3:41 for the second verse sends me off every single time. So damn good.
I’ve posted that comment so many times in other forums. I look forward to that high hat.

+Tri Pham This Viet homeboy knows what's up! Word!
ah, this version has Shannon's original vocals on the chorus, not Jimi's
6:23/4 killed it and not in a good way
They must have a lot of gay clubs in Europe...
