Shannon - Let The Music Play

Release date: 1983

This song is an important record in dance music history. Its combination of Latin American rhythm and melody with electro beats and a heavy syncopated drum-machine pattern produced an original sound, which became known as Freestyle.

"Let the Music Play" was Shannon's only US Top 40 hit. It was ranked 43rd on the 2009 VH1 Special 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 1980s. This song appears in video games Dance Central 3 and Scarface: The World Is Yours.
