the best electronic dance song ever created. Let the music play was for a decade, the biggest and most played dance groove throughout the 80's decade. Amazing still. Those synths.
I agree with @michaelwentworth4900, Let the Music Play was one of the best club dance songs ever created! It was played at all my junior high school dances back then. I would bet money that even young folks today would still fill the dance floor to this song in 2023! Much love to all my peers who are still tuning into Shannon songs 40 years later! 😀✌🏼
This A.B. performance was the very 1st time I saw Shannon perform on television. When she hit in 83 initially I had no idea what she even looked like because back then I was on the cusp of my 13th Birthday & only had heard her incredible voice on college radio at the time. These 2 songs in particular were bangers especially when Breakin really started poppin off. You had to live in that era to really understand. Fast foward to September 21, 2024 I finally see Shannon LIVE tonight for the very 1st time in the rain ☔ in Fall River, MA. as part of the Decades of Legends 🎟 41 yrs after the fact & her performance literally spoke to my soul. Shannon I'm so grateful to have heard your powerful voice in the early stages of my life then on wax & throughout the decades to coming full circle tonight LIVE in the flesh. You're an amazing original icon imo. 41yrs 💪🏽 strong & counting. 🌹 🫶🏽
Man, I remember every freaking morning waking up and running to turn on the TV (when tv didn't have remote control) just to catch AB, Soul Train, Kasey Kasem top 40s, and of course, the best and only cartoons of the century.
Two of the Most Of The Charts On The Dance Floor in the Clubs back in the day..that few could equal...even today...and definite Cultural Icons of that time and..still.😉😊
Thank so very much for posting this video, it made my day. Here in (Manaus - Brazil) Shannon still very popular. Her songs are always played in birthdays. I am so happy to see that she is so cute e humble.
Chris Barbosa and Mark Liggett (Ligosa) were one of the best production teams in the 80s. Such a great style. They also did music for Nolan Thomas, Monet, Lip Service, George Lamond and others.
Probably the first commercially successful Funk with the impetuous of House vibes. If you were around in clubs back East when this hit the floors.. WOW!!! Phenomenal the Energy.😍🤩
Reality check: In 1984 we were learning there was a disease killing gay men, hemophiliacs and people who use needles and babies. The president of the US refused to acknowledge the disease due to its gay sex affiliation. People shunned people-with-AIDS and “Christians” said it was God’s will.
With 3 songs she own the dance floor queen...because as a dj in the 80s if you didnt play tonight/play and divided you was not worth it as a dj....this 3 songs from her it was a must play
CON TODO RESPECTO MARAVILLOSA MUJER CONTODA SU COLEGCION DE MUCICA SON LINDAS COMO SI FUERAN UNAS LLERMOSAS JOLLLAS QUE EN LO PARTICULAR PARA MI SON UNAS LINDAS JOLLAS TODA SU MUCICA 🌷❤🌷
Shannon is gorgeous. This is one of the very best songs of my youth. It's highly produced and engineered so not easy to sing live. She's lip syncing the chorus. Pretty much has to. What a great song though. An all time favorite.
Beautiful music from a beautiful lady! The 80s were the best! I miss that error so much.👍🏽 We have nothing but crap now.

I agree...its the best...
Quite an extraordinary fusion of extraordinary talents.
Let the music play, for sure!
Sad. She wasn’t compensated the way she should have been.
I agree 1000percent kk
Listen to the crowd. Shannon and that song were really special. Everybody loved Give Me Tonight.
I LOVE SHANNON 🌷
Shannon always had as beautiful voice. I think she’s still singing, which is cool to know. I wish her all the best!

This song never gets old. Never!!!

Shannon is beautiful classy . Has a truly beautiful real voice
I had a massive crush on her back in the day! Give Me Tonight is still among my favorites.
THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC! THE 80s are not the 80s without this song!

Shannon, looking like a real African girl. Natural, simple, yet pretty
I was 15 and this reminds me of those days back in the Bronx . Good times. I wish I could go back. ❤
So humble down to earth and immensely attractive.
Brenda "Shannon" Greene. Lucky to meet her back in '88. Brilliant lady.
One of my fave songs ever... Takes me back to the days of middle school break dancing!
Man, I remember every freaking morning waking up and running to turn on the TV (when tv didn't have remote control) just to catch AB, Soul Train, Kasey Kasem top 40s, and of course, the best and only cartoons of the century.
Add Solid Gold too!!
GREAT TIMES!!! 👍🏽
Great 80's entertainer. And Dick Clark was so young, but so was I in "84"!
I was 19
Still a classic.
And she still performs in 2018!!! Classic dance track!
Let the Music Play is another piece of perfection.
Unforgettable song, Unforgettable Shannon, 80's forever
I can't believe it. Back in the 80's, they put freestyle music on american bandstand. That is amazing for sure.👍
Two of the Most Of The Charts On The Dance Floor in the Clubs back in the day..that few could equal...even today...and definite Cultural Icons of that time and..still.😉😊
I used to watch AB and Soul Train all the time.
Always love Shannon. She just was on Unsung

Timeless club classic , beautifully sung by a beautiful woman. This sounds good even now ....
The bomb voice 😍
One of the most complete albums ever start to finish
Great song and a great voice
The Class of '84! A great year for music!! What a fine song to get the dance floor movin'!!!
You could still bang this out in the club's today and it would not sound out of place real time tester and a real banger
Thank so very much for posting this video, it made my day.
Here in (Manaus - Brazil) Shannon still very popular. Her songs are always played in birthdays.
I am so happy to see that she is so cute e humble.

Shanon was pionner of electronic music with syntetizators and pentagono drums
The original O.G. FREESTYLE N ELECTRO FUNK QUEEN OOWEEE!!!!

When the world was kind and people were nice to each other 1984

Amazing Artist! This Funk Club Ryrhm set the wave for Freestyle! Shannon always inspired me!
Washington DC's finest!
I was 10 years old going on 20 now at 48 for real .I long for those long gone days
I was at a club back in 2018. And they played this song and everyone in the place was dancing like hell
I was still going to clubs way up until COVID hit. When it was over. I didn't know where to go have fun anymore.
Great lady

This song should have been much bigger!
I hate how she's been referred to as a 1-hit wonder in listings - I remember this HIT dance song, CLEARLY!
Such a beautiful woman
Awesome!
With 3 songs she own the dance floor queen...because as a dj in the 80s if you didnt play tonight/play and divided you was not worth it as a dj....this 3 songs from her it was a must play

A Huge Cut When Breakdancing Started To Take Off Nationwide..
tonight, i'll give her the rest of my life.
One guy played every instrument in this song. Rob Kilgore.
Nice
I can pull this song up in a second now, but back when I was a little kid on a Saturday I’d have to put Z100 on and hope they played it.
who's still listening to this song in 2021?
🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼
Legal
Niceeee
Shannon yes freestyle ??
break !!!!!!
I really miss these times
🤙
Read the lyrics of Give me Tonight, they're kind of creepy.
Great 80's music.....sad she got ripped off
Shannon is gorgeous. This is one of the very best songs of my youth. It's highly produced and engineered so not easy to sing live. She's lip syncing the chorus. Pretty much has to. What a great song though. An all time favorite.
Nice lip singing
Glad she didn't impale an audience member with dat' mic antenna....
we lost a lot of great musicians that way but the media lies and say its drugs or drowning or a plane crash.
