Shannon - Let The Music Play (1983)

"Let the Music Play" is a Latin freestyle song recorded by Shannon in 1983.

The original version of the record was produced by Mark Liggett and Chris Barbosa. By the early 1980s, the backlash against disco had driven dance music off mainstream radio stations in the U.S. The rhythmic ingenuity of "Let the Music Play," with its drum-machine pattern produced by a filtered Roland TR-808, allowed it to hit #8 on the U.S. Singles Chart and #1 on the U.S. Dance chart in November 1983, ushering in the dance-pop era.
"Let the Music Play" was Shannon's only U.S. Top 40 hit, though her follow up single  ' Give me Tonight' is considered a classic.. 'Let the Music Play' was ranked 43rd on the 2009 VH1 Special 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 1980s.
