I was born in 87, but I've had a soft spot for that era's music ever since VH1 premiered I Love the '80s when I was in high school. Now, getting into breakdancing, this music had got me straight wild!
I know it's strange but this song always makes me think of a small earthquake I experienced in 1986 in Goleta, California. I had my stereo blasting and I remember this song playing. Then the whole house shook violently for about five seconds. I thought it was because I had the music so loud. Turns out it was a small earthquake lol.
Shannon was the soundtrack of my B-Boy days, as a breaker in Miami and New York City. I once battled the famous Powerful Pexter from The New York City Breakers - he schooled me and i learned from him. He taught me his famous windmill - to backspin - to kneel freeze (see the main battle in the movie, Beat Street (1984)).
Everytime i play this track, i feel like blowing the roof off..The 80s..oh the 80s..im still jamming to them beats..now this is absolutely fine music..Love it!!!!..
Born in '99. This is all I listen to. Parents were born in '70 so I guess while I was in the womb I picked up the beat. I was born in the wrong generation
I was so in love with this song when I was a kid. The Mark Liggett/Chris Barbosa sound was unmistakable. They often wrote these dance songs in a minor key which made them more intense and dark than most dance/pop/freestyle.
Freestyle was mostly pioneered by Latin people. Mostly, the 🇵🇷 community in the early 80s. All I know is me and my crew of Italian/Puertorican brothers would be pumping Freestyle in our Camaros and cutlass', cruising Bell Blvd. Franie Lou and Rt 231 aka DPA. Yes, the stereo type is very true. Lol
Electro was brilliant, loved it back then. This is the Zenith, the whole movement achieved so much and came up with this as it highest point. Wonderful tune
On this day in 1984 {April 21st} Shannon performed "Give Me Tonight" on Dick Clark's ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at position #17 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, three weeks later it would peak at #6 {for 2 weeks} and on April 29th it reached #46 {for 2 weeks} on the Top 100... And on the same 'Bandstand' show she performed "Let The Music Play"; two months earlier on February 19th, 1984 the song peaked at position #8 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, and on January 29th, 1984 it reached #2 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, and the two weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "If Only You Knew" by Patty LaBelle... Besides the above two records, the Washington, DC native had five other records on the Hot R&B Singles chart; "My Heart's Divided" {#48 in 1984}, "Do You Wanna Get Away" {#13 in 1985}, "Stronger Together" {#26 in 1985}, "Urgent" {#68 in 1985}, and "Prove Me Right" {#82 in 1986}... Shannon, born Shannon Brenda Greene, will celebrate her 61st birthday next month on May 2nd, 2019...
Ahhh such wonderful childhood memories 😊💭💟 I was 11 years old. The 80's was a phenomenal decade to grow up in and phenomenal music! God how I loved this song then and still love it now. I 💖 Shannon 🎵🎶
That electro 80s vibe!!! Shannon had it locked down in this track and Let The Music Play. Top shelf tunes. I can't body pop, but the music's just taking over me body's LOL. Well I never, I'll be break dancing next :)
I wasn't born until the late 70s so I spent the 80s as a child/pre-teen. Still songs like this bring back to my younger days and sitting with a tape recorder on Sunday afternoons to make mix tapes
Still LISTENING and JAMMING to this in 2020 during,the pandemic....😷🎵🎧 STAY SAFE AND STAY HOME EVERYBODY....🙏🏻🌍😇 SHANNON WAS BEAUTIFUL BACK THEN AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY....😊💙
In a club called the blue note in Biloxi Mississippi on main Street Lord this song takes me back to the good times I am 56 and I would go back to the 80'$ and 90'$ in a heartbeat 😢
Damn Shannon baby, what did you say. is sit to sin ta, is sit to sin ta. Is that what you said baby. I love it. Classic disco sog. His voice echoes in the dark. Yes i"ll give you one more night. Sing it baby. Give me tonight, with you.
Listening to the song already transported you back. That’s why I’m here I’m going back to the 80’s. Hip hop, freestyle, pop, rock, reggae, metal, hair bands, and that Chicago house. Shot out to the Bx, birth place of Hip Hop👍🏿
@@wwddwi2183 amen. I’ll take block parties , skelze, stickballl , fire hydrants , real movies, jaws, Halloween , Jason, trick or treating no cell phones no social media I was white and born and raised in the worst parts of the Bronx in the 70s. I wouldn’t trade it for nothing. It made me who I am today. The 80s as well .. arcades , music it’s just another world when I look back man!
Me emociono mil vezes ao ouvir essa bela música... minha vida passa diante dos meus olhos... salve Shannon... som voz e melodia... saudade de música de verdade....
I didn't live through the 80s, so I miss a lot of references from that decade and learn new stuff everyday. Today I learned Adore Delano's version is a cover of this, and not an original song of hers. And I also learned that this is the Aja meme song starting at 3:37 lmao
Shannon was Bad back in the 80's🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
The 80s! It was such a good time to be a teenager!
Y los 90 también
I wished I could return back to those beautiful days with amazing music 🎵 🎶
I was born in 87, but I've had a soft spot for that era's music ever since VH1 premiered I Love the '80s when I was in high school. Now, getting into breakdancing, this music had got me straight wild!
@@hayalavender9913 me to I wish I could go back best time of my life as a teenager growing up in the 80's
Patrick Heidelberg Indeed, those years were for me the best years of my life too; we still had a beautiful future ahead of us.....🤗
I'm still here every day in 2024 - Anyone wanna go back to the 80's with me? 💖
Would go back to the 80,$ and 90,$ in a heartbeat ❤
I definitely would love too
👋👋💪
40 Years Later !!! On Fire !!!
This and "Let the Music Play". Good stuff that will never be replicated.
1000%
DAMN ! STILL SOUNDS GREAT !
AND WILL ALWAYS.
Reading comments brings chills and tears. Miss the 80"s.
Yes very much.
Love this song. Please bring me back to the 80's.
The 80s were the shit back in the day! This song takes me back to block parties in Brooklyn, NY!!!!
I know that's right lol 😆 😆
Shannon kept the Eighties alive when she gave pop fans tonight in 1984. In 2024 this song and video still have "Pop"!
I am 56 years old and her music still makes move like a teenager, she is my all-time favorite
I know it's strange but this song always makes me think of a small earthquake I experienced in 1986 in Goleta, California. I had my stereo blasting and I remember this song playing. Then the whole house shook violently for about five seconds. I thought it was because I had the music so loud. Turns out it was a small earthquake lol.
Shannon's voice is so unique and fits perfectly with that 808
Ayyyeeee ❤

Love, love this song! Love the 80s! ❤

Sick
Everytime i play this track, i feel like blowing the roof off..The 80s..oh the 80s..im still jamming to them beats..now this is absolutely fine music..Love it!!!!..
Yeah the 80s wish i could live in the 8os forever
Excellent quality!
80's anthem!
AJA 💕💕💕💕
yass💞
King Kairo 😛😛😛😛
yaas
King Kairo yaaaaas!!!
This is when we produced good music.
So nostalgic!!!
Old but Gold!!!
1984 one of the best pop-locking songs out, everytime i hear i roll right back into it and my kids look at me crazy,,lol cant help it..
😋👍
I KNOW that's RIGHT 😂😂 let FREAKING KNOW 😅
😂😂 I respect it
Bboying too
Definitely the #1 club song of 84-85. This rocked the house every time.
one of my favorites of the 80's I'm 43 & everytime I hear these 80's songs I feel like I'm back in the 80's not this music they have now a days
Born in '99. This is all I listen to. Parents were born in '70 so I guess while I was in the womb I picked up the beat. I was born in the wrong generation
The music of today is SHIT, PERIOD!
Luve you SHANNON ❤❤❤
Shannon a true Queen.
This song reminds me of The Lodge, Club in North Hollywood, California, So Much!!! 1989/90
I was so in love with this song when I was a kid. The Mark Liggett/Chris Barbosa sound was unmistakable. They often wrote these dance songs in a minor key which made them more intense and dark than most dance/pop/freestyle.
Beautiful memories bringing back goosebumps
I absolutely love this song. Give Me Tonight
The 1st freestyle artist !!!! Black people create everything hot !!!
You better say it loud!!!!!!❤
It’s actually not freestyle its club music from the early 80s 83/84 freestyle didn’t come out yet but this shit here definitely influenced it
Freestyle was mostly pioneered by Latin people. Mostly, the 🇵🇷 community in the early 80s. All I know is me and my crew of Italian/Puertorican brothers would be pumping Freestyle in our Camaros and cutlass', cruising Bell Blvd. Franie Lou and Rt 231 aka DPA. Yes, the stereo type is very true. Lol
Big classic
Middle age White man here and I love this......what a time to be alive!....break dancing...Michael Jackson,Run DMC..Whodini...Prince...Take me back!
This song is ...the BOMB... sorry for all you haters out there.. Shannon rocks it 💜🎶👍
They don’t understand. This song is everything.
Absolutely!
Shannon is amazing, I can only imagine her sound with the technology we have available today!
@@dadada396 She was ahead of her time really. Cause didn’t Freestyle blow up like a few years after she came out with this song?
You got it - a fantastic song!
If this don't give you goosebumps you definitely have no soul!!!!

I 💖 Shannon 🎵🎶
I was eleven years old also when this came out. Great memories. ❤❤
We had it good.... the best decade no decade compares...
I miss the 80s 😭
They don't make music like this anymore. Sad, but true! The 80s and 90s were 20 years of GREATNESS
70's also influenced all the later decades.
... When she answers back: " Yes ! ... I'll give you one more night " - Chills ! ... Powerful song ...
Man takes me back to being a kid in the 80s!!!!!
Me too, summer 83 or 84 heard this for the first time.
That electro 80s vibe!!! Shannon had it locked down in this track and Let The Music Play. Top shelf tunes. I can't body pop, but the music's just taking over me body's LOL. Well I never, I'll be break dancing next :)

Who else rocked this in the club back in the day !!!
Not me but my mom did and she raised me listening to this music, 90s, 2000s rnb, hiphop.
In a club called the blue note in Biloxi Mississippi on main Street Lord this song takes me back to the good times I am 56 and I would go back to the 80'$ and 90'$ in a heartbeat 😢
Bring back freestyle! !!!!
Never gets old...👍👍
I had the cassette, this and Let The Music Play were my go to club prep songs I jammed before going out to dance.
Always jammed while getting dressed to go out on weekends. The 80's were great and this music is still tops.
one of the best melodies of any 80s song. This kind of vibe was so different and aggressive compared to the 70s.
Definitely brings me back to roller skating every weekend at the local skating rink, how can you not love the 80s music!
Great music...great memories❤
Still listening and totally back in the day when music was music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
back in the days when people still had respect for each other like real gangsters specs

Listening to the song already transported you back.
That’s why I’m here I’m going back to the 80’s.
Hip hop, freestyle, pop, rock, reggae, metal, hair bands, and that Chicago house.
Shot out to the Bx, birth place of Hip Hop👍🏿

Amazing

This was a great Classic. Loved everywhere.
Cmon Jaida Essence Hall!
I was super confused when I saw this because I was like “jaida never lip synced to this song” and then I remembered she’s a lipsync assassin
I'm so excited for this lip sync!!
I didn't live through the 80s, so I miss a lot of references from that decade and learn new stuff everyday. Today I learned Adore Delano's version is a cover of this, and not an original song of hers. And I also learned that this is the Aja meme song starting at 3:37 lmao
This Is The Shit I Love Shannon Music
I remember Easter 1984 my uncle was taking us to Coney Island and this was playing on the Radio.RIP to my Uncle he liked her music.
