美國黑人歌手〔莎儂〕──Latin Freestyle／流行舞曲──〔Let The Music Play／讓音樂播放吧〕

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 out 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 re-arranged
He went to dance with someone else.

We started dancing and love put us into a groove
But now hes with somebody new - what does love want me to do?
Love said:

Let the music play he wont get away,
Just keep the groove and then hell come back to you again, let it play.
Let the music play he wont get away,
This groove he cant ignore, he wont leave you anymore, no, no, no.

He tried pretending a dance is just a dance, but I see
Hes dancing his way back to me.
Guess hes discovered we are truly lovers,
Magic from the very start, cause love just kept me groovin,
And he felt me movin even though we danced apart.
So we started dancing and love put us into the groove
As soon as we started to move, as soon as we started to move.
Love said:

Let the music play he wont get away,
He tried pretending a dance is just a dance, but I see
Hes dancing his way back to me,
Hes dancing his way back to me.
Love said:
Let the music play he wont get away,
Let the music play he wont get away,

１９５８年出生的莎儂（Shannon）是美國黑人歌手

這首帶有Salsa的輕快流行舞曲常被視為Latin Freestyle樂風第一首代表作

１９８３年１１月　〔Let The Music Play〕打下尚未成名的瑪丹娜〔Holiday／Lucky Star＊假日／幸運之星〕

登上Billboard舞曲榜冠軍　逐漸打出知名度

隔年２月拿到單曲榜＃８　拿到百萬金唱片

雖然莎儂在主流樂壇只是曇花一現的一曲歌手

不過〔Let The Music Play〕在流行樂史倒有一定地位
