Shannon

A little something about Shannon
It’s hard to believe it’s been eighteen years since Shannon’s "Let The Music Play" hit the airwaves in the summer of 1984. The first in a string of Shannon’s hits of the mid-late 1980s, "Let The Music Play" shot to #1 on the Dance and R&B charts, and to #8 on the Pop chart. 


Let the Music Play

We started dancing and love put us into a groove 
As soon as we started to move 
The music played while our bodies displayed through the dance 
Then love picked us up for romance 
I thought it was clear 
The plan was we would share this feeling just between ourselves 
But when the music changed the plan was rearranged 
He went to dance with someone else 
We started dancing and love put us into our groove 
But now he's with somebody new 
What does love want me to do 
Love said.. 

Chorus: 
Let the music play, he won't get away 
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again 
Let it play 
Let the music play, he won't get away 
This groove he can't ignore, he won't leave you anymore 

He tried pretending our dance is just a dance but I see 
He's dancing his way back to me 
Yes he discovered we are truly lovers 
Magic from the very start 
Cause love just can't we prove 
And anytime we move 
And even though we danced apart 
So we started dancing and love put us into our groove 
As soon as we started to move, as soon as we started to move 
Love said.. 

Chorus 

He tried pretending our dance is just a dance but I see 
He's dancing his way back to me, he's dancing his way back to me 
Love said.. 

Chorus
