facts. i was born in 93 and i have a profound appreciation for 80’s hits. especially the black artists who found crossover success when their labels tried to put them in a box.
Me and my kids father got a 15 year age difference and he love this song so now I play it when I wanna think about the better memories ❤ I’m also young so I agree with this comment cause I dance every time I hear this
I was a child/teen of the 80’s and I couldn’t agree more. Music, movies, television, fads, video games, pop culture of all kinds, it was a spectacular decade!!
Went to a club in Tokyo for the most epic evening out, and they played this for the encore. The crowd went nuts for the next several minutes, and anyone who knew the song was singing it at the top of their lungs. Such a amazing memory😎
Wish I was there. I had a similar experience in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates military base party in 2001 The Artist was Nelly, It was his first platinum album that went on to make him one of the best selling artist of 2000 - 2010

It doesnt matter how old you are if you listen todays music But youll always come back to the real music 50s 60s some 70s lol and most definitely 80s and some 90s. It just sucks you in. Well sucks me in a great daze of relaxation.
I am 61 years old now and was a professional dancer in the eighties and nineties. This was one of my "Get in the Groove" songs before every show after it's release. Love her, her voice and the Eighties!
I just saw her perform live at Freestyle Explosion in Tampa. Ain't nothing changed. She hasn't missed a step. Thank you Shannon for an incredible performance.
Fuck yeah! School dances! No cell phones all ballz and confidence! When chicks wanted to talk to a hi and not the IG. I use to hit up all the make up counters in the malls with my party flyers! Nothing could stop me! Pop in, lock in, break in, bootie slappin, and number takin!
Don’t want to be no where else! 80’s music is my life line!! Always picks my spirits up remembering an awesome time to live, love, and jam on it! Lol👍👍
@@mrsks5399 LOL!!! I'm 43. This came out in 1983 when I was barely turning 3. So I don't remember this song coming out, but when Freestyle music got big in the 90s...I remember this song at every...single...club and on EVERY "Freestyle Hits" kind of CDs. This song will never fade away!!!
My dad use to play this in his van back when I was 6 or 7 yrs old been trying found out what song was that I found it brings back memories of my old man rest in peace
Saw her live in a club in Montreal in the 90's...it was always one of my fav's and i was dancing up a storm in front of Shannon and me and my buddy met and hung out with her after the show..
I fell in love with this song when I was about eight years old. That is almost four decades ago. The passion still burns very brightly. I'VE BEEN SO BLESSED...
I was 21 when this song was released and it still delights me, even now! The 80‘s are gone and all that’s left are the awesome memories! My daughter is called Shannon too and because I‘ve no contact to her, she‘s gone as well!All that’s left are the awesome memories! But having said that, memories are something that nobody can take away from you!😎
I agree. The 80s and the 90s were the best of times. Sadly, I didn't know it or appreciate it at the time. My son is 27 and he'll never know what he missed out on. I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!
I was 16 when this song came out. I have been trying to remember the name and artist of the song for decades. But Madonna was just hitting top of the charts then too - these 2 songs were getting equal play time - I loved them both. But over the years I could not remember the name of this song from so way bak that I loved. I just finally found it! Shannon! I love it. I remember driving-in my boyfriends convertable this song
I remember break dancing to this in the 80s! Playing this for my daughter's......they don't understand the music! Awesome song! Shannon......let the music play
This song, originally titled "Fire and Ice" and which proved to be the nascence of the 'Shannon sound', is technically quite fascinating on a number of levels. Not only did it help resuscitate and revive the dance genre after the cultural blow-back against disco but the innovative and creative use of electronic synthesizers and drum machines (rim shot) was revolutionary. The song was written by Chris Barbosa (what a mind!) and produced with his partner Mark Liggett but all the instruments were played by Bob Kilgore. Jazz vocalist Shannon provided the understated, complimentary but silky smooth vocals. An incredible tack that, when it came out, I completely underappreciated (though I did dig the earth-shaking chorus), and is likely among the top ten dance tracks of any age. Sublime.
I didn't really like it when it was released but i have to say that it was ahead of it's time, it sounds like house music. Actually i much prefer Stronger Together (1985)
I was going through US Army Infantry basic training at Ft. Benning Ga. and we had all electronics taken away from us. This was the first song I heard on the radio February 1986 when I had the opportunity to hear music. I’ll never forget. Great memories. ❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest cross cultural, multidimensional songs ever. Freestyle, breakbeat, house, and electro. She brought the funk, glamour, and street culture in one monumental stroke. Seriously one of the greatest dance songs ever. It never gets old or played out.
This is one of the most timeless songs I have ever heard. Totally underrated among my generation that wasn't alive in the 80s! Name another song that sounds like it could have been released in 1983, 1993, 2011, and 2021.
One of the coolest tracks ever! They just to write 'em like this anymore! Perfection! I'm so very fortunate to have been born in 1957 and lived through all that great music as it happened!
Both 1970s and 1980s are the best decades for music, the best era of music, and are also real music, compared to some most songs we have nowadays since the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. Also, the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s (before 2012) were the best in terms of video games, although don't get me wrong, there are recent games that interest me, but anyways, as mentioned above, nothing will ever beat music from the 1970s and 1980s as those are the best era of music and are also real music, compared to some most songs we have nowadays since the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
I guess everybody has their decade, but growing up in the 70s was like magic.Being amazed by those 5 young brothers with afros from Gary Indiana, Every time Muhammad Ali fought you felt he was fighting for us, All in the family, good times, the partridge family, Sanford and son. The godfather, the taking of Pelham 123, godfather part 2, jaws, Shaft, Foxy Brown, Disco, The birth of hip-hop. If there were ever a time where America was great for black people, it was during the 70s🤔
I was every bit of 18 , a young US Marine stationed in Okinawa when this song came out. Happy memories indeed. To my Japanese friends and fellow Marines, I salute you. ♥️😎
I first heard this in 1983. I had it on my cassette of electro as a teenager - it always came straight after Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "The Message" and just before Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock" on my tape line up. Funny what you remember. Absolute classic, thanks for sharing.
I was 20 in 84 and this played in every club I went to...every...single...club...over..and over. lol What the hell though I can listen to it now and it brings back some great memories.
Class of 66 😊 I was 17 when this masterpiece came out, this is timeless music, today at 58 I still find myself here listening to this wonderful song, 80 forever ❤️
In 1985 & 1986 Austin, TX, my lifestyle and work schedule revolved around this musical genre at Club Iguana, a New Wave experience that moved nightly to different venues a block off of 6th Street. The best period of my life. Anybody in the comments live that experience? My cousin, girlfriend and myself were referred to as The Thompson Twins because we were almost always there together. I danced even though my sides hurt from it.
I am a 50 year old man,,I was 14 when this song came out,. any time someone asks me which song makes you wanna dance the most " I always answer " Let The Music Play .
@@dennise4174 yes I am 50 too and this is one of the first bangers and it has been sampled in so many other tracks one of the first tunes that dropped the bass 80s classic x

Hermosa época por dios
Definitely 👌🏽
Same here😅
I was 16 when this song came out. I have been trying to remember the name and artist of the song for decades. But Madonna was just hitting top of the charts then too - these 2 songs were getting equal play time - I loved them both. But over the years I could not remember the name of this song from so way bak that I loved. I just finally found it! Shannon! I love it. I remember driving-in my boyfriends convertable this song
Sooo glad I grew up in the 80's!!! Many great memories!
Hell yea I was born 80
Same matey, people born in the 80's really do appreciate music
Me too.
Hugo Gutierrez I wasn’t born in the 80’s, I was born in 92 BUT my dad was a DJ so I basically grew up with 80’s music and still love it 🎶
Me too I wish I could go back ❤
One of the best songs of the 80's and still grooving.
Timeless.
Just saw her tonight at a freestyle concert! Still fabulous! This song kicked off the freestyle era!
It did kick off the freestyle era,your right i didnt even think of it.Well done
Yup defined the start of the genre
Nice! Where was the concert?
Yesssssssssss!!!!!!! Oh this song was HOT IN 1983/84. This is still playing. Love you Shannon! Let’s dance sweet lady. ❤❤❤
I remember break dancing to this in the 80s! Playing this for my daughter's......they don't understand the music! Awesome song! Shannon......let the music play
they will some day! It took my 28 years but I get it now!
Sounds very 70s vibe
Song always sounded way ahead of its time. Still have this on 45 since it came out. So good!
This song, originally titled "Fire and Ice" and which proved to be the nascence of the 'Shannon sound', is technically quite fascinating on a number of levels. Not only did it help resuscitate and revive the dance genre after the cultural blow-back against disco but the innovative and creative use of electronic synthesizers and drum machines (rim shot) was revolutionary. The song was written by Chris Barbosa (what a mind!) and produced with his partner Mark Liggett but all the instruments were played by Bob Kilgore. Jazz vocalist Shannon provided the understated, complimentary but silky smooth vocals. An incredible tack that, when it came out, I completely underappreciated (though I did dig the earth-shaking chorus), and is likely among the top ten dance tracks of any age. Sublime.
I didn't really like it when it was released but i have to say that it was ahead of it's time, it sounds like house music. Actually i much prefer Stronger Together (1985)
Come on, people! Give this comment some love 💥💥💥
That is really interesting information.
Good take. It was indeed ahead. Many early 90s dance track owe to this sound
Thanks Frank. I always enjoy learning about music history.
I was going through US Army Infantry basic training at Ft. Benning Ga. and we had all electronics taken away from us. This was the first song I heard on the radio February 1986 when I had the opportunity to hear music. I’ll never forget. Great memories. ❤❤❤❤❤
2022... still listening to this classic. Anyone else?
Check out Shannon 2022 on here
Yes, kind regards from germany
Yes I do too.
September 2022!
Play this shit right now in any club and it's on a poppin!
I love her voice, clothes, the song. Pure class
One of the greatest cross cultural, multidimensional songs ever. Freestyle, breakbeat, house, and electro. She brought the funk, glamour, and street culture in one monumental stroke. Seriously one of the greatest dance songs ever. It never gets old or played out.
I was ten years old and this song rocked my world (and my boombox). It was a treasure anytime it came on the radio.
This is one of the most timeless songs I have ever heard. Totally underrated among my generation that wasn't alive in the 80s! Name another song that sounds like it could have been released in 1983, 1993, 2011, and 2021.
This popped into my head this morning. Still good. A classic.
Same today morning 😂👌💯❤️🔥👑
@@huabaschorsch7568 Good morning. 😄❤
Me too this morning
Hahaha-I had to hear it too. Next search---“white lines” tell me that wasn’t the shit on a Saturday night
@@johnm5714 Oh most definitely.
All these years later and I STILL groove out to this song!
Forever ~♥~
I love this so much, I loved it when it came out, I love it now. Shannon is the personification of soul.
LOVE this jam. I just saw Shannon perform at Radio City Music Hall last weekend. The woman still got it!!
One of the coolest tracks ever!
They just to write 'em like this anymore!
Perfection!
I'm so very fortunate to have been born in 1957 and lived through all that great music as it happened!
80s was pumping out some outstanding tumes like this. So glad i was part of this. 🙏
55 años...y me sigue prendiendo como en los 80...la mejor etapa de mi vida...👍😎🇨🇱gracias..
She deserves all royalties. Lovely song . Good times dancing
Maria Rodríguez. Love From Puerto RICO. . Lady . Still My Dc7. . Tale care. 💝💝🌸🌸😉
80s IS THE BEST DECADE EVER FOR MUSIC
I must respectfully disagree with you Lee. The 1970s had the best music fashion and movies. And let's not talk about the TV shows And sooooooul train🚂
and the 70s
Both 1970s and 1980s are the best decades for music, the best era of music, and are also real music, compared to some most songs we have nowadays since the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
Also, the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s (before 2012) were the best in terms of video games, although don't get me wrong, there are recent games that interest me, but anyways, as mentioned above, nothing will ever beat music from the 1970s and 1980s as those are the best era of music and are also real music, compared to some most songs we have nowadays since the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
I guess everybody has their decade, but growing up in the 70s was like magic.Being amazed by those 5 young brothers with afros from Gary Indiana, Every time Muhammad Ali fought you felt he was fighting for us, All in the family, good times, the partridge family, Sanford and son. The godfather, the taking of Pelham 123, godfather part 2, jaws, Shaft, Foxy Brown, Disco, The birth of hip-hop. If there were ever a time where America was great for black people, it was during the 70s🤔
@@generalinformation3507 Very true that everybody has their decade. I was born in 1994 and I'm proud of it! 🎮🕹👾🤘🤟✌😌😎👍🤙💯
It's 2022 this song is soo majestic!! Never get Old! ❤️
80S DISCO
Amazing music, great 1983 memories!!!
I was every bit of 18 , a young US Marine stationed in Okinawa when this song came out. Happy memories indeed. To my Japanese friends and fellow Marines, I salute you. ♥️😎
Thank you for your service!
i was in the GDR wen i was a teen
Very nice 👍
@@benjaminwehbe1896 ich war auch noch sehr jung. Aber das Lied war mega
Semper Fi 🥰
I first heard this in 1983. I had it on my cassette of electro as a teenager - it always came straight after Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "The Message" and just before Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock" on my tape line up. Funny what you remember. Absolute classic, thanks for sharing.
Damn,there is just something about this song. The lyrics, the beat. It's goes together like peanut butter and jelly.
Or jam.
@@roylennie8117 Touché. 😂
@@StellaMontenegro Okay, confiture if you like (or n'est-ce pas).
This whole genre of music was great, 80s and 90s.
This will never get old❤️🔥
RUclips is my time machine, this channel is my home.
Me too!!
RUclips is the ultimate music headquarters for all era's of music! 👏🏻
@@itsano808 figure of speech genius 🤔😆
@@itsano808 I do spend way to much time on RUclips or RUclips music, I don't watch TV so I listen to music, even at work.
Who is jamming right now, what a tune👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
NOT the back-up dancers...

Every time keep telling you it's me jamming
Meeeee

That was golden age of music
She is a goddess. Her look, moves, energy, feeling, dancing, voice and smoldering looks really match this song!!! No one can do it better!
You have excellent taste!
Shannon was and still is a Beautiful and Talented woman!
Facts she's a ebony goddess she soooooooo fine
Damn we used to groove on the dance floor to this jam. TIMELESS!
I was 20 in 84 and this played in every club I went to...every...single...club...over..and over. lol What the hell though I can listen to it now and it brings back some great memories.
Same here..same age same year, good times!
I was 10 LOL
Class of 66 😊 I was 17 when this masterpiece came out, this is timeless music, today at 58 I still find myself here listening to this wonderful song, 80 forever ❤️
I think you hit the wrong numbers there.
I guessing You came back from the future?
In 1985 & 1986 Austin, TX, my lifestyle and work schedule revolved around this musical genre at Club Iguana, a New Wave experience that moved nightly to different venues a block off of 6th Street. The best period of my life.
Anybody in the comments live that experience? My cousin, girlfriend and myself were referred to as The Thompson Twins because we were almost always there together. I danced even though my sides hurt from it.
This was absolutely perfect breakdancing music back in the early 80's 🎶🎶📀📀📀
An definite timeless classic 🤩😌
Born in 1986. 80's baby here. Listen & groove.
I am a 50 year old man,,I was 14 when this song came out,. any time someone asks me which song makes you wanna dance the most " I always answer " Let The Music Play .
OMG me too first club night doing the eye to eye across the dance floor
Oh so then this song is 36 years old, amazing...wow its older than I am...lol...but I absolutely love it! ❤
@@dennise4174 yes I am 50 too and this is one of the first bangers and it has been sampled in so many other tracks one of the first tunes that dropped the bass 80s classic x
51 and 14 here 😂 spot on mate
I defy you not to move to this groove.
the nostalgic sound of the 80s scattered all throughout this song...
Buying batteries for my portable stereo component system 📻 the 80's 💕
