I was born in 87, but I've had a soft spot for that era's music ever since VH1 premiered I Love the '80s when I was in high school. Now, getting into breakdancing, this music had got me straight wild!
I know it's strange but this song always makes me think of a small earthquake I experienced in 1986 in Goleta, California. I had my stereo blasting and I remember this song playing. Then the whole house shook violently for about five seconds. I thought it was because I had the music so loud. Turns out it was a small earthquake lol.
Freestyle was mostly pioneered by Latin people. Mostly, the 🇵🇷 community in the early 80s. All I know is me and my crew of Italian/Puertorican brothers would be pumping Freestyle in our Camaros and cutlass', cruising Bell Blvd. Franie Lou and Rt 231 aka DPA. Yes, the stereo type is very true. Lol
Everytime i play this track, i feel like blowing the roof off..The 80s..oh the 80s..im still jamming to them beats..now this is absolutely fine music..Love it!!!!..
Born in '99. This is all I listen to. Parents were born in '70 so I guess while I was in the womb I picked up the beat. I was born in the wrong generation
Shannon was the soundtrack of my B-Boy days, as a breaker in Miami and New York City. I once battled the famous Powerful Pexter from The New York City Breakers - he schooled me and i learned from him. He taught me his famous windmill - to backspin - to kneel freeze (see the main battle in the movie, Beat Street (1984)).
In a club called the blue note in Biloxi Mississippi on main Street Lord this song takes me back to the good times I am 56 and I would go back to the 80'$ and 90'$ in a heartbeat 😢
I didn't live through the 80s, so I miss a lot of references from that decade and learn new stuff everyday. Today I learned Adore Delano's version is a cover of this, and not an original song of hers. And I also learned that this is the Aja meme song starting at 3:37 lmao
I was so in love with this song when I was a kid. The Mark Liggett/Chris Barbosa sound was unmistakable. They often wrote these dance songs in a minor key which made them more intense and dark than most dance/pop/freestyle.
On this day in 1984 {April 21st} Shannon performed "Give Me Tonight" on Dick Clark's ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at position #17 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, three weeks later it would peak at #6 {for 2 weeks} and on April 29th it reached #46 {for 2 weeks} on the Top 100... And on the same 'Bandstand' show she performed "Let The Music Play"; two months earlier on February 19th, 1984 the song peaked at position #8 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, and on January 29th, 1984 it reached #2 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, and the two weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "If Only You Knew" by Patty LaBelle... Besides the above two records, the Washington, DC native had five other records on the Hot R&B Singles chart; "My Heart's Divided" {#48 in 1984}, "Do You Wanna Get Away" {#13 in 1985}, "Stronger Together" {#26 in 1985}, "Urgent" {#68 in 1985}, and "Prove Me Right" {#82 in 1986}... Shannon, born Shannon Brenda Greene, will celebrate her 61st birthday next month on May 2nd, 2019...
Electro was brilliant, loved it back then. This is the Zenith, the whole movement achieved so much and came up with this as it highest point. Wonderful tune
I wasn't born until the late 70s so I spent the 80s as a child/pre-teen. Still songs like this bring back to my younger days and sitting with a tape recorder on Sunday afternoons to make mix tapes
Ahhh such wonderful childhood memories 😊💭💟 I was 11 years old. The 80's was a phenomenal decade to grow up in and phenomenal music! God how I loved this song then and still love it now. I 💖 Shannon 🎵🎶
That electro 80s vibe!!! Shannon had it locked down in this track and Let The Music Play. Top shelf tunes. I can't body pop, but the music's just taking over me body's LOL. Well I never, I'll be break dancing next :)
Still LISTENING and JAMMING to this in 2020 during,the pandemic....😷🎵🎧 STAY SAFE AND STAY HOME EVERYBODY....🙏🏻🌍😇 SHANNON WAS BEAUTIFUL BACK THEN AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY....😊💙
Listening to the song already transported you back. That’s why I’m here I’m going back to the 80’s. Hip hop, freestyle, pop, rock, reggae, metal, hair bands, and that Chicago house. Shot out to the Bx, birth place of Hip Hop👍🏿
@@wwddwi2183 amen. I’ll take block parties , skelze, stickballl , fire hydrants , real movies, jaws, Halloween , Jason, trick or treating no cell phones no social media I was white and born and raised in the worst parts of the Bronx in the 70s.

Damn Shannon baby, what did you say. is sit to sin ta, is sit to sin ta. Is that what you said baby. I love it. Classic disco sog. His voice echoes in the dark. Yes i"ll give you one more night. Sing it baby. Give me tonight, with you.
This song is ...the BOMB... sorry for all you haters out there.. Shannon rocks it 💜🎶👍
They don’t understand. This song is everything.
Absolutely!
Shannon is amazing, I can only imagine her sound with the technology we have available today!
@@dadada396 She was ahead of her time really. Cause didn’t Freestyle blow up like a few years after she came out with this song?
You got it - a fantastic song!
love midway how the speed up and slow down the “gimme” part
The 80s! It was such a good time to be a teenager!
Y los 90 también
I wished I could return back to those beautiful days with amazing music 🎵 🎶
I was born in 87, but I've had a soft spot for that era's music ever since VH1 premiered I Love the '80s when I was in high school. Now, getting into breakdancing, this music had got me straight wild!
@@hayalavender9913 me to I wish I could go back best time of my life as a teenager growing up in the 80's
Patrick Heidelberg Indeed, those years were for me the best years of my life too; we still had a beautiful future ahead of us.....🤗
40 Years Later !!! On Fire !!!
The 80s were the shit back in the day! This song takes me back to block parties in Brooklyn, NY!!!!
I know that's right lol 😆 😆
This should be included in a time capsule from our civilization 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm still here every day in 2024 - Anyone wanna go back to the 80's with me? 💖
Would go back to the 80,$ and 90,$ in a heartbeat ❤
I definitely would love too
👋👋💪
Absolutely!!!
Gi...Gi...Gi... Give me tonight....echoes in tbe darkness....still rocks!
I know it's strange but this song always makes me think of a small earthquake I experienced in 1986 in Goleta, California. I had my stereo blasting and I remember this song playing. Then the whole house shook violently for about five seconds. I thought it was because I had the music so loud. Turns out it was a small earthquake lol.
1984’ driving my 1978’ Trans Am with Shannon blasting off my cassette player 🙈 was the best feeling in the world…… Nothing like the 80’s ❤️
Reading comments brings chills and tears. Miss the 80"s.
Yes very much.
Shannon kept the Eighties alive when she gave pop fans tonight in 1984. In 2024 this song and video still have "Pop"!
DAMN ! STILL SOUNDS GREAT !
AND WILL ALWAYS.
This is when we produced good music.
Shannon was Bad back in the 80's🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
Extraordinary ❤❤❤
Shannon's voice is so unique and fits perfectly with that 808
Ayyyeeee ❤
- Rap Fanatics Music
This and "Let the Music Play". Good stuff that will never be replicated.
1000%
2000%
I am 56 years old and her music still makes move like a teenager, she is my all-time favorite
AJA 💕💕💕💕
yass💞
King Kairo 😛😛😛😛
yaas
King Kairo yaaaaas!!!
Love this song. Please bring me back to the 80's.
The 1st freestyle artist !!!! Black people create everything hot !!!
You better say it loud!!!!!!❤
It’s actually not freestyle its club music from the early 80s 83/84 freestyle didn’t come out yet but this shit here definitely influenced it
Freestyle was mostly pioneered by Latin people. Mostly, the 🇵🇷 community in the early 80s. All I know is me and my crew of Italian/Puertorican brothers would be pumping Freestyle in our Camaros and cutlass', cruising Bell Blvd. Franie Lou and Rt 231 aka DPA. Yes, the stereo type is very true. Lol
@@daveydmx9630 this is freestyle....and latin freestyle artists were inspired by this
Yes, I'm an 80s baby. ❤
1984 one of the best pop-locking songs out, everytime i hear i roll right back into it and my kids look at me crazy,,lol cant help it..
😋👍
I KNOW that's RIGHT 😂😂 let FREAKING KNOW 😅
😂😂 I respect it
Bboying too
Definitely the #1 club song of 84-85. This rocked the house every time.
Everytime i play this track, i feel like blowing the roof off..The 80s..oh the 80s..im still jamming to them beats..now this is absolutely fine music..Love it!!!!..
Yeah the 80s wish i could live in the 8os forever
This song reminds me of The Lodge, Club in North Hollywood, California, So Much!!! 1989/90
If this don't give you goosebumps you definitely have no soul!!!!
I am 80s, you are 80's.. 80's is everywhere!!!
They don't make music like this anymore. Sad, but true! The 80s and 90s were 20 years of GREATNESS
70's also influenced all the later decades.
one of my favorites of the 80's I'm 43 & everytime I hear these 80's songs I feel like I'm back in the 80's not this music they have now a days
Born in '99. This is all I listen to. Parents were born in '70 so I guess while I was in the womb I picked up the beat. I was born in the wrong generation
The music of today is SHIT, PERIOD!
back in the days when people still had respect for each other like real gangsters specs
You better say again somebody didn’t hear you!!!!
So nostalgic!!!
Old but Gold!!!
Shannon was the soundtrack of my B-Boy days, as a breaker in Miami and New York City. I once battled the famous Powerful Pexter from The New York City Breakers - he schooled me and i learned from him. He taught me his famous windmill - to backspin - to kneel freeze (see the main battle in the movie, Beat Street (1984)).
Sick
Love, love this song! Love the 80s! ❤
Listening in May 2023..born in 1984 I love everything about my era!!!!! Freestyle music all day!
Growing up in the Bronx this song and Shannon is new York in 84
Who else rocked this in the club back in the day !!!
Not me but my mom did and she raised me listening to this music, 90s, 2000s rnb, hiphop.
In a club called the blue note in Biloxi Mississippi on main Street Lord this song takes me back to the good times I am 56 and I would go back to the 80'$ and 90'$ in a heartbeat 😢
Middle age White man here and I love this......what a time to be alive!....break dancing...Michael Jackson,Run DMC..Whodini...Prince...Take me back!
Excellent quality!
80's anthem!
3:35 that part you know you are looking for....the get down
Still here 2024 ❤❤❤

Ahhhh The 80s how I miss you :(
Luve you SHANNON ❤❤❤
Big classic
The 80s were my best years in all kinds y music!!!!
Man takes me back to being a kid in the 80s!!!!!
Me too, summer 83 or 84 heard this for the first time.
I didn't live through the 80s, so I miss a lot of references from that decade and learn new stuff everyday. Today I learned Adore Delano's version is a cover of this, and not an original song of hers. And I also learned that this is the Aja meme song starting at 3:37 lmao
Shannon a true Queen.
I had the cassette, this and Let The Music Play were my go to club prep songs I jammed before going out to dance.
Always jammed while getting dressed to go out on weekends. The 80's were great and this music is still tops.
Beautiful memories bringing back goosebumps
I was so in love with this song when I was a kid. The Mark Liggett/Chris Barbosa sound was unmistakable. They often wrote these dance songs in a minor key which made them more intense and dark than most dance/pop/freestyle.
M here at loco cemetety listen this beautiful bandeirantes 84 fm hits its só cool

I’m a young dude but I’m jealous of everyone who had the privilege to experience 80’s New York
Cmon Jaida Essence Hall!
I was super confused when I saw this because I was like “jaida never lip synced to this song” and then I remembered she’s a lipsync assassin
I'm so excited for this lip sync!!
OG Breakdance *ANTHEM!!*
I remember Easter 1984 my uncle was taking us to Coney Island and this was playing on the Radio.RIP to my Uncle he liked her music.
one of the best melodies of any 80s song. This kind of vibe was so different and aggressive compared to the 70s.
Great time being a teenager heading out to the clubs dancing to great music like this!!! Today’s music sucks!!!
Definitely brings me back to roller skating every weekend at the local skating rink, how can you not love the 80s music!
I remember when this song came out. This was the jam, blasting all the time.
Bring back freestyle! !!!!
Never gets old...👍👍
