SHANNON - Give Me Tonight / Let the Music Play (1984)

Performance from American Bandstand

[@afolabiyusuf3159]

Shannon, looking like a real African girl. Natural, simple, yet pretty

[@smokeykick]

Beautiful music from a beautiful lady! The 80s were the best! I miss that error so much.👍🏽 We have nothing but crap now.

[@michaelwentworth4900]

the best electronic dance song ever created. Let the music play was for a decade, the biggest and most played dance groove throughout the 80's decade. Amazing still. Those synths.

[@Omar00L]

I agree...its the best...

[@frankstared]

Quite an extraordinary fusion of extraordinary talents.

[@giusepperoberti]

Let the music play, for sure!

[@KendraJackson-fb8bh]

Sad. She wasn’t compensated the way she should have been.

[@stephenmillward249]

I agree 1000percent kk

[@alannavx]

Brenda "Shannon" Greene. Lucky to meet her back in '88. Brilliant lady.

[@greenlantern1123]

I was 15 and this reminds me of those days back in the Bronx . Good times. I wish I could go back. ❤

[@Daoudmouri1]

Shannon is beautiful classy . Has a truly beautiful real voice

[@DonnieDarko1]

Man, I remember every freaking morning waking up and running to turn on the TV (when tv didn't have remote control) just to catch AB, Soul Train, Kasey Kasem top 40s, and of course, the best and only cartoons of the century.

[@goldentigers6722]

Add Solid Gold too!!

[@hugolopez1669]

GREAT TIMES!!! 👍🏽

[@leonardgreen3643]

This song never gets old. Never!!!

[@Standing_on_the_word]

100% agree . 2022 & still rocks 😃⚘️💪🏽💪🏽

[@BlueButterfly7777]

Let the Music Play is another piece of perfection.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Shannon always had as beautiful voice. I think she’s still singing, which is cool to know. I wish her all the best!

[@actionsammy1]

I had a massive crush on her back in the day! Give Me Tonight is still among my favorites.

[@AlCapone-tr5lb]

I agree with @michaelwentworth4900, Let the Music Play was one of the best club dance songs ever created! It was played at all my junior high school dances back then. I would bet money that even young folks today would still fill the dance floor to this song in 2023! Much love to all my peers who are still tuning into Shannon songs 40 years later! 😀✌🏼

[@patrickkamau8457]

So humble down to earth and immensely attractive.

[@axl2296]

I LOVE SHANNON 🌷

[@glassballpark]

One of my fave songs ever... Takes me back to the days of middle school break dancing!

[@cathomas72118]

Wow! I don't remember braids being a thing back in the 80's! Shannon was definitely ahead of the game! 😊😊😊

[@BlueButterfly7777]

Listen to the crowd. Shannon and that song were really special. Everybody loved Give Me Tonight.

[@averillhecht]

Great 80's entertainer. And Dick Clark was so young, but so was I in "84"!

[@oliverv291]

I was 19

[@LexLutha232]

And she still performs in 2018!!! Classic dance track!

[@leninmateos7537]

Unforgettable song, Unforgettable Shannon, 80's forever

[@Underhills]

Still a classic.

[@gmoney8585]

One of the most complete albums ever start to finish

[@jessemarkle5413]

Washington DC's finest!

[@Chi_chi_nation]

I can't believe it. Back in the 80's, they put freestyle music on american bandstand. That is amazing for sure.👍

[@paramjitshergill4148]

Timeless club classic , beautifully sung by a beautiful woman. This sounds good even now ....

[@user-lk3pb9pe9z]

Two of the Most Of The Charts On The Dance Floor in the Clubs back in the day..that few could equal...even today...and definite Cultural Icons of that time and..still.😉😊

[@terrenceragin5555]

Always love Shannon. She just was on Unsung

[@lori64lg]

When the world was kind and people were nice to each other 1984

[@dagdogg]

I used to watch AB and Soul Train all the time.

[@dannyeskalante4301]

The original O.G. FREESTYLE N ELECTRO FUNK QUEEN OOWEEE!!!!

[@NewYorkJon41]

I was at a club back in 2018. And they played this song and everyone in the place was dancing like hell

[@user-wn5uz6gt9v]

I was still going to clubs way up until COVID hit. When it was over. I didn't know where to go have fun anymore.

[@fortunateone6857]

Great song!

[@photofilmmedia]

The good ol days

[@Luckyferdie]

Shannon is still one of my favorite singer ...Timeless Music I say ...2022

[@elisabrown3018]

Great 80s tune reminds me of my breakin days

[@davidlees1366]

You could still bang this out in the club's today and it would not sound out of place real time tester and a real banger

[@princesslovesthe80s80]

[@Elvis68spec]

Shannon is very talented!

[@fensterputzernuernberg]

Great song and a great voice

[@anthonytika7409]

I was 10 years old going on 20 now at 48 for real .I long for those long gone days

[@user-lk3pb9pe9z]

Probably the first commercially successful Funk with the impetuous of House vibes. If you were around in clubs back East when this hit the floors.. WOW!!! Phenomenal the Energy.😍🤩

[@barbbear68]

The Class of '84! A great year for music!! What a fine song to get the dance floor movin'!!!

[@davidlees1366]

Let the music play a true classic in moor ways than one

[@HebertAngulo]

Shanon was pionner of electronic music with syntetizators and pentagono drums

[@ericrojasvelez8891]

With 3 songs she own the dance floor queen...because as a dj in the 80s if you didnt play tonight/play and divided you was not worth it as a dj....this 3 songs from her it was a must play

[@soulchildDJ]

In the UK, Sweet Somebody was a hit too

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Chris Barbosa and Mark Liggett (Ligosa) were one of the best production teams in the 80s. Such a great style. They also did music for Nolan Thomas, Monet, Lip Service, George Lamond and others.

[@niware80]

Thank you Shannon for introducing us to Freestyle Music forty years ago!

[@Italogirl1000]

Still a super song. Love to dance at ir. Kisses from Holland x ❤❤❤❤

[@GeorgeLifeWave]

A Huge Cut When Breakdancing Started To Take Off Nationwide..

[@Lashid4u]

I hate how she's been referred to as a 1-hit wonder in listings - I remember this HIT dance song, CLEARLY!

[@miamimartin2195]

I have that Album!!!

[@newtongrubby]

CLÁSSICA DA BRILHANTE INESQUECIVEL DECADA DE 80 ‼

[@robm6155]

I can pull this song up in a second now, but back when I was a little kid on a Saturday I’d have to put Z100 on and hope they played it.

[@dantethomas3488]

Love this shit

[@enriquemexia2984]

❤

[@hilairemouaffo6852]

[@bonniebianco5918]

[@christopherjames9843]

One guy played every instrument in this song. Rob Kilgore.

[@mickyday2008]

Nice

[@paulara7155]

🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼

[@evandroreis229]

Legal

[@Rolybot]

break !!!!!!

[@artfuldodger6440]

Niceeee

[@BlueButterfly7777]

Shannon is gorgeous. This is one of the very best songs of my youth. It's highly produced and engineered so not easy to sing live. She's lip syncing the chorus. Pretty much has to. What a great song though. An all time favorite.

[@ademarsandrogoncalvessandr2150]

Shannon yes freestyle ??

[@lakishascott2132]

🤙

[@charlesschauer8927]

Great 80's music.....sad she got ripped off

[@edp2019]

Nice lip singing

[@jwesson4697]

[@christschool]

Read the lyrics of Give me Tonight, they're kind of creepy.

[@johnx5891]

Glad she didn't impale an audience member with dat' mic antenna....

[@bonniebianco5918]

we lost a lot of great musicians that way but the media lies and say its drugs or drowning or a plane crash.

[@donbrassco301]

How Peo Dont Get Pay In Tje Long Run😓

[@Hi-wy7qo]

Is she lip singing?

[@retroguy1976]

yes shows like bandstand,soultrain well whatever was on did lip syncing

[@aaidren]

No

[@guayabito6946]

That's the way it was in the 80's

[@jeremyhuston102]

I've seen her prettier

[@g.h.2425]

She is very pretty!
