Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

Shannon - Let The Music Play

'Let the Music Play' is a famous and critically acclaimed Latin Freestyle song recorded by Washington, DC singer Shannon in 1983.
The original version of the record was produced by Mark Liggett and Chris Barbosa, the latter of whom was a Latino from New York who composed it with Ed Chisolm. Barbosa, redefined the Electro Funk sound by adding Latin American rhythms and a heavy syncopated drum-machine sound that isolated it from sounding like Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock' and Freeez's 'IOU'. This made 'Let the Music Play' the first freestyle record in history.

By the early 80's there was a persieved backlash to dance music which was ever popular in the 70's. However 'Let The Music Play' circumvented the prevalent anti-disco bias and become a huge hit mading it to number 14 in the UK Singles Chart while hitting number 8 in the US singles Chart and number 1 on the US Dance Chart and ushering in a new dance-pop era.

    I Loved this too. Had not heard it for a while so when I started getting it together to post I listend to it again and the memories came flodding back.

    It is a great disco track and one of the classix of the 80's.

    I already have a Talk to me box about 3 quarters of the way down the page on the right hand side for anyone that wants to leave messages there.
