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
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.
Remember back in them days we get in a fight and shake hands after may the best man or woman win no guns was allowed we was raised right back in them days thats why we all is still here to testify in the name of Jesus amen ❤❤❤️🙏🙏🙏💯
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!!!!..
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)).
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 😢
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
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 best years,,,the 80,,I enjoy everything than God I still here keeping listening over and over,,beautiful days,I wish to born again but in another life the brings all the 80 artists with all the songs together
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.
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 🎵🎶
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...
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
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
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 :)
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....😊💙
Still here 2024 ❤❤❤
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 !!!
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

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!
love midway how the speed up and slow down the “gimme” part
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.....🤗

Shannon kept the Eighties alive when she gave pop fans tonight in 1984. In 2024 this song and video still have "Pop"!
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 😆 😆
Reading comments brings chills and tears. Miss the 80"s.
DAMN ! STILL SOUNDS GREAT !
AND WILL ALWAYS.
@@johndoe1765 So true!
Love this song. Please bring me back to the 80's.
This and "Let the Music Play". Good stuff that will never be replicated.
1000%
Love, love this song! Love the 80s! ❤
This is when we produced good music.
Shannon's voice is so unique and fits perfectly with that 808
Ayyyeeee ❤

I am 56 years old and her music still makes move like a teenager, she is my all-time favorite
Remember back in them days we get in a fight and shake hands after may the best man or woman win no guns was allowed we was raised right back in them days thats why we all is still here to testify in the name of Jesus amen ❤❤❤️🙏🙏🙏💯

Yeah the 80s wish i could live in the 8os forever
So nostalgic!!!
Old but Gold!!!
Yes, it is...!
This song reminds me of The Lodge, Club in North Hollywood, California, So Much!!! 1989/90
Excellent quality!
80's anthem!

Sick
If this don't give you goosebumps you definitely have no soul!!!!
Ahhhh The 80s how I miss you :(
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!!
Big classic
Shannon a true Queen.
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.
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 😢
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
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!
2024 let's keep the 80s alive with great songs like this.
AJA 💕💕💕💕
yass💞
King Kairo 😛😛😛😛

King Kairo yaaaaas!!!

Shannon had the best music in the game
Growing up in the Bronx this song and Shannon is new York in 84
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.
... When she answers back: " Yes ! ... I'll give you one more night " - Chills ! ... Powerful song ...
OG Breakdance *ANTHEM!!*
BEST CLUB ROLLERSKATING SONG EVER ❤
And “ I m hooked on you “ woo woo woo woo !
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.
Dancing to this in the 80s in Hollywood...seems like a hundred years ago lol
i used to break to this track!good old days 🙂
😋
@@DonnieDarko1 I BET YOU WERE MUCH HAPPIER ALSO.

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
I danced this in Germany 84-85 until my shoes spit fire!
Only one word of Shannon is fabulous baby, even still today! Peace and love my friend! Adrian
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
Finally got the quad speakers right i can hear the opening swirling around my head 😊
The 80's baby. The good ole days.
80s best music! 1988 baby 👍 but know my 80s very well!
I’m a young dude but I’m jealous of everyone who had the privilege to experience 80’s New York
Makes me feel young again
Bring back freestyle! !!!!
Never gets old...👍👍
great son. beautifull......... It takes me to my childhood
+Guillermo Manrique I was 14 in 1984
I was only one years old when this song came out
Praise the Mother of Freestyle Music

Still listening in 2019 yaaaaay
2020! :-)
@@CeeStyleDj June 6th 2020
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 :)
Fell in love with this Jam the first time I heard it as an 11 year old .

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....😊💙
how can anyone put a thumb down to this tune
Because they know not what good music is
Tony Kwiatkowski and we all know what really is a troll
cause they not from the 80s generations like we were i was born in the early 70s
people with no taste in music
the ratio is still very high
Great music...great memories❤
Amazing
Great time being a teenager heading out to the clubs dancing to great music like this!!! Today’s music sucks!!!
Party Monster 😎
one of the best melodies of any 80s song. This kind of vibe was so different and aggressive compared to the 70s.
This Is The Shit I Love Shannon Music
We Had Some Great Music in 80s We Need A Time Machine Who's Going With Me Amen To Freestyle Music
Great song of my high school days
