One correction: When CeCe Penniston’s “Finally”, came out, it crossed ALL audiences. That song was one of the BIGGEST CROSSOVER “dance”, songs in music history.

[@clubhead433]

WERD!!!!!

[@brittneybutler2491]

Yep!

[@TASconfidential]

IMO, “Finally” was the song that brought house music to the mainstream. Before “Finally”, house music was only known to crowds who were “house heads”, and went to the underground DJ sets, or the gay clubs, or people from Chicago (the birthplace of house music). However, when this song came out, it was played on BET, MTV, VH1, and every radio station. It was a true universal JAM.

It was..I'm a Jamaican woman and I love house music because of Finally..It was just a banger no one ever heard that type of music and her voice is crazy...
