- Walkin' sadly through the park
I hear cryin' in the darkness
And though I act like I cannot hear
The situation is very clear
A girl who's trying to tell her guy
The time has come that they say goodbye
And his answer tears my heart apart
Give me tonight
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you
You'll see I'm right
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you
Walkin' with you through the park
Now it's my voice in the darkness
Just like that girl tryin' to tell her guy
I'm telling you we must say goodbye
I can't believe when I hear once more
The very words that were said before
Come from deep within your broken heart
Your voice echoes in the dark
Your voice echoes in the dark
Give me tonight
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you
You'll see I'm right
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you (I'll give you one more night)
Give me tonight
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you
You'll see I'm right
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you (I'll give you one more night)
His voice echoes in the darkness
Give me tonight
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you
You'll see I'm right
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you
Give me tonight
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you (Yes, I'll give you one more night)
You'll see I'm right
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you (Love, love ain't gonna let you go)
Give me tonight (One more night)
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you (I'll give you one more night)
You'll see I'm right (I'll give you one more night)
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you (Love, love ain't gonna let you go)
Give me tonight
Then if you don't wanna stay
Girl, I'll just forget you (I give you one more night)
You'll see I'm right
You won't get to go away
Love ain't gonna let you ('Cause love ain't gonna let you no-oh)
Just one more night
Just one more night
Oooh, baby yeah

It's 2024 who's still listening to the magic of the 1980s and 1990s (19)
But of course....
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😅😅😅😊😊
We were dancing to this after dinner last night
@@sfrank8687 The good glorious days will never be forgotten
Bring me back to my youth😂😂😂
If you are 50 and up we had a good child hood with the best music
EXACTLY ‼️
Totally agree
Yea I'm jealous of people who live thru theses times
Yes we did!
I'm 52 you spoke for an entire generation my gosh you did !!!!!❤
80's will never die.
Never never never !
If Shannon doesn't transport you back to the 80's... nothing else will!
😊 right
Her and Donna Summer
Right to the Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale club scene 80’s🔥
The biggest hit in the summer of 1983! Shannon introduces the future of a new club sound known as Freestyle!
It wasn't released until 1984...
It was recorded along with "Let the Music Play" and released in 1983 under Mirage Records! It was sooo good that they produced the video that was released in March of 1984. The original song was a bit darker, but good!
@@mcdan2696 ~ According to what I read, the album was recorded in 1983, but wasn't released until February 1, 1984.
Back in those days, singles would be released weeks before, to promote the album that would come out at a later date. I have "Let The Music Play" on a 45...
@McDan Disclaimer: This is my favorite dance song of all time, which set a new standard and forever changed the face of urban dance musi . Let me challenge you on your statement however. Did it introduce Freestyle music? ....or did it introduce "the future" of Freestyle music? You have to take into account songs like C-Bank's One More Shot, which came out a year before this and that is certainly Freestyle to the core.
Your right
My father heard that in the 80 s in his car......on a very massive loudness...........I was the poor front-seat passenger............
Now i love him for that........He is 73 now:)
My mother had the album on cassette tape and it was one that she took on every road trip along with "Different Light" from the Bangles, "Tango in the Night" from Fleetwood Mac, both volumes of the Eagles Greatest Hits, and Linda Ronstadt's Greatest Hits Vol. 2
He's a Legend
The 80's the greatest decade of time existence.
I agree with you all the way. We know what time it is. It's like that. The old school way. The 80s the best decade ever. Thank God I lived it. Another time another era.
Yeay, absolutely. Movies, music, me and the boys :) Imagine to grow up now with that shitty music around you...
It really was
These underground Stars never got the credit they DESERVED!!!!
They were great times
Fuck it !!! We know there were GREAT ...
Nothing underground about Shannon
Remember as a teen listening to this, I'll be stuck in the eighties forever, music was INSANE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm stuck in the 80s too and lovin every minute of it. 🤣
With my Sony Walkman!!!

I'm 55 and still play this track on a daily basis big classic 🙌🇬🇧🕺🏻🕺🏻
40 here and I can't help but blast this album on vinyl once every couple weeks! I often have to wonder if my husband gets tired of it but I say "When I listen to Shannon, so are the neighbors!"
THANK GOD FOR CZcams. I'VE DOWNLOADED ALL OF MY FAVORITE JAMS FROM THE 60'S, 70'S AND 80'S AND BURNED IT TO A DVD. NOW I CAN JAM EVERYWHERE ON MY THE TV'S ALL OVER THE HOUSE OR ON MY PORTABLE DVD PLAYERS HOOKED TO A SOUND BAR SPEAKERS
I loved it when I was 14 and even more now. Stunning.
Me too. I’m doing the car seat dance playing this in full blast. Almost everyday 😂
Being a teenager in the eighties was the greatest. I miss everything about it. I’m grateful we can hear our music in todays time.
@ usersx5yg4ms3r, i would have liked 2 be in my TWENTIES in tha 80s, so i could go 2 disco niteclubs like 'studio 54', etc...
Best of times
I agree with you all the way. Being a teenager in the 80s was especial. I lived it . Thank God. The old school way. Another time another era. I miss the 80s.
This played in every dance club in the 80's and the floor was packed. I lived it, I loved it, I miss it!
What else did you play?!?!
Facts😊
Yes we did thanks
@@B0Nnaaay cool it now by new edition omg
Wish I was there!
Tears come to me when I think about the 80s. I miss it so much! Great time to be a kid..high top sneakers, breakdancing, block parties, boom boxes, and mixes of songs like these cassette tapes. Good times!!!
John Doe . you know that is right
yup, kids nowadays don't even know what it's like to go somewhere without fearing for their lives. Even school. I mean in my school someone was setting girl's hair on fire for like 3 days. That's as bad as it got.
John Doe you just described my time as a youth👍
John Doe you are so right!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
John Doe so damn true. Man I miss those days.
This extended version is the ultimate Shannon jam!
By far, 70’s and 80’s music were the best. Iconic groups and solo acts
I use to Rock this out in my Bedroom alone as a teenager I still love this and I'm old now 54
Hi
I'm 53 I know the deal. We are old school. We look good. The 80s the best decade ever. Another time another era.
But don't you believe you are still 15 inside?
@@tylero8595I'm 56 outside and somewhere in my 20s inside :)
54 isn't old, it's all about who you are inside, because that radiates far brighter or far more decrepit, than actual age. Evil and the miasma of death rotting away, reeks all around, killing anything good or pure that gets in it's way, whereas Good, shines brighter, and radiates warmth and life. And where the soul lies and who/what is in your heart of hearts, are truly the only thing that matters
After almost 40 years and still sounds great!
I want to click my heels three times and let it send me back to the 80s
Ikr!
Me too.
How was she not a global superstar when people like Bieber and Swift are .
One of the greatest dance records ever
80's FOREVER.....This was MY MUSIC.
This was THE JAM. Still sounds good today.
Chris Barbosa and Mark Liggett (producers) were the best in freestyle music. Plus Shannon could really sing (and she's beautiful).
Hell yea!
Well then it's still the Jam!
@@justinelswick6527 Chris Barbosa is my cousin and very proud! He is the best of freestyle.
I was in college, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale when this came out! 58 now.
Till this day I'm 56yrs.old this is the lady of all ladies much love Shannon your music will never die
There will never be a time when any one can say that this song right here is not jamming . Bumpin still to this day and all days to come
Say no more , will never stop jamming to these , 4ever
Forever!
January 2023 💃🏻🕺🏻
Me too!! April 2023❤
Shannon for me is the Queen of Freestyle. This song brought so much energy in the Breakdancing arena like no other. All props goes to her as the Queen of Freestyle.
never get tired of listening to this song , still sounds so fresh even after 30+ years...
This is when we actually had talented musicians.....not down talking todays artists..... but this song isnt just being made with nothing but technology .....but with skill.
YEEEES
I😊
Época maravilhosa com músicas imortais!
Can’t believe it’s been that long😮
I started break dancing as soon as I heard this song start.❤️🤸🏾♂️
Me too, and iam 54
@@robertjleter I'm 55
This song is still fire 🔥
Absolutely
Freestyle is the Greatest Music ever created,And this is the Anthem,Shannon you are a Godess,
Just think 2020 generation will never witness true musical talent!
2021 and I'm still crazy abt this song, she did this song so good, jus perfect.
i agree
12/2/22 💃🏽
Today, Shannon is a voting member of the Grammys (Recording Academy), and she occasionally performs shows around the world.
I really like the distorted, “ Give me tonight “ part. Strong sultry voice of Shannon.thumbs up
The Best music for ever,the 80's❤👍
😢
Masterpiece!
Classic indeed
80's best decade ever! Great music. Real music!
Nice
Fuckin right!!
Greetin' ...
Absolutely🥰...
B ez ...peace
Im proud and moved that i was born in 71, so grown up with that kind of music, remembered my Disco Times.
This was such a precious and valuable Time. Best Age were the 80s and 90s anyways. And look how many Musicgroups use these Tracks in their Songs.
Queen of the freestyle music💖 awesome song
Oh boy, do I miss the 80s !!!
Freestyle forever !
Every time I am listening to Freestyle, automatically more than 30 years are decreased in my age... and I still feel the same energy when I was that age in Haiti ( Cavern Disco Kafou, Chez Maguy Mon Repos etc...). I even told my family that if for a reason I would be in coma, after praying THE LORD of the lords for me, make sure they play freestyle musics for me, there should be greatly a positive change in my vital signs and I will be back to life...
"Music is powerful". I don't blame none of you guys if you never get tired of listening freestyle, if tears are slipped down your cheek.
Reach M
I don't ever want this to end! I love this!!!
That’s what she said.
Nice.
That intro, with the synth line and the nighttime views of New York in the '80s, haunting...
...the windows of the World Trade Center at 0:06 and the twin towers at the end 5:55
that shit does look hauting.....all I can imagine is drugs, sex, and wild shit
it was a wild ride so true and wild more then you can imagine
right city that never sleeps
Gregg Spencer very tru
This type of music Never Dies!!!
When it come to this trac by Shannon i plead the 5th. No words speechless. SHANNON KILLED IT
They used to play this song a lot when I was growing up. The two songs by Shannon, always gave off this power. Both this song and 'Let the Music Play', two completely different songs, didn't sound anything alike, but the composition was insane. Her sing voice and the hard beats. This was definitely a club song that more than likely had the place jumping.
Yes quite powerful, the synth bassline and electronica
LET ANOTHER 30 YEARS REIGN!!!!!! LOVE YOU SHANNON!!! LOVE YOUR MUSIC!!!!
Yes!
Das war die beste Zeit die es gab ! Und einfach geniale Musik ! Ein hoch auf die 80er !
Great! One of the Best Disco Jams Ever! 👍👍
Shannon is beautiful, and so is her voice.
2022 and this song still gets to me. I never understood how she can sing so calmly lol I want to dance when I hear this
At a family party I put this on and we all got up and danced!!! And the kicker is I can't dance
This was my jam. The clubs were like being transported to magical places, and when this came on, it was all over. You just wanted the night to go on and onn
And a little coke didn’t hurt
Good to have so many people here , who love the 80's....thanks out there
Extended version blows the original away hands down that’s why I loved these songs back in the day. Thank you Shannon and all the freestyle artists of the day let’s keep the spirit of freestyle alive forever
Shannon big UPS momma from Chicago no one understands that the kids running around today are all because of the music we played love and party to in 80s and 90s God bless freestyle and house music and God bless you life is much better with happy memories
I want a time machine to go live at that time, when the music was AWESOME !!!
"Give Me Tonight" is a 1984 single by Shannon, an American R&B and dance artist. Released following his debut album "Let the Music Play", "Give Me Tonight" did not have the same success as its predecessor on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 46. It received the same enthusiasm in dance clubs as its previous single, however, reaching No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in March 1984 for two weeks. It was also a major urban success, reaching 6th place in the US R&B chart. The song also peaked at No. 24 in the UK Singles Chart.
Seminal track back in 1984. Beautiful lady with a big voice. Big up.
For that year and plus, it was all about Shannon and her songs! Miss those days and it was so exciting!
I still have this song Give Me Tonight (Extended Version) on a TDK 90 minute cassette along with other obscure classics.
Still sounds as modern as ever. The digital synth sounds are amazing to this day. For al those that are musicians These are the early days of MIDI/SAMPLING. WOW we've come a long way....
Love shannon, one of the pioneers of freestyle music. You had 2 go through her before listening to the others.
dam right..she was da bomb😀
Yeah she was only vocalist and had nothing to do with composing the music for any of 'her
' hits. The man behind the music is this man - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Barbosa
The icon her self
@@vladimirdraculesti7204 I doubt that guy sings as well as Shannon.
I'm here in 2024... When this came out... I used to dance my ass off to this never caring about the lyrics... It wasn't til a few years later when I had a heartbreak that I realized how sad this song is.... I was BEGGING for ONE MORE NIGHT with this girl I loved... And I got that one more night...😎
The Birth of Freestyle Music, right Here on this tune...The Rest is History, and still Alive 32 years later...
This song is not house, though it was used in a lot of mixes on radio stations in NY....house music is from Chicago.....it has its own distinct sound usually with the strong kick drum beat....Shannon's music is now considered freestyle, even though back in the 80s we did not have labels but just danced to it....
you are absolutely right!
right here with you and we were there werent we we lived through it all and now just really miss it.
always and forever
@@hochokma6891 True but is the born of freestyle Shannon music this song was used a lot for break dancing and electro boogie (People dancing on the streets).
Dang! I can see myself in the skating rink totally jamming out right now! What memories the late 80’s were!!!
Thats why she is considered the international queen of freestyle she is one the best.
I love Shannon and proud to say it from Manchester England ...
Classic dance track from the 80s, never gets old!
It never gets old and you never get fedup of this stuff. Makes the shit today look like a circus.
I’m still here in 2024! 😁😁😁
❤❤❤👍👍👍🥂🥂🥂🥂
MLK💞
Yasssssss! 2024
This song hit #1 on Billboard's Dance / Club Play singles chart on March and April 1984.
I was a kid.. 9 years young BREAKDANCING.. Popping.. Locking..n Freestyling to this n so many beautiful 80's jams. Love Shannon. R.I.P. to my boys from Breakin the movie who have passed. FREESTYLE FOREVER!!!
I used to listen to this every night when I was 14 in '85. I used to visualize my own video to this jam. I was going through a rough patch at the time. This song was so powerful, that it would make me feel positive. I still remember every beat...every movement. Thanks for posting!
👏👏👏.....
I can’t say how grateful I am to have grown up in such an awesome era. I used to have all these cassettes at home, floor speakers, and just blast off into the day dreams that was the 80’s… then came the 90’s… born in 1978… just a great time to be alive! Miss those times, that’s when I come to YT blasting tunes from 30+ years ago, crazy!! Imagine having the windows down today in 2022 in a brand new whip blasting this? Well, that sounds like me, IDGAF and I do drive around bumping this and all my favorites. People must think I’m crazy, but you’d be surprised how many people start to look and dance when I stop next to them at a stop light. I guess I’ll never grow up all the way!
Powerfull voice.
The 80s was the best time ever for music and Chitown held it down
Freestyle! Love it. Miss it.
ventende
Nobody beats Shannon at freestyle!
The rhythm of this song is great!! The intro fades into the background you hear it faintly. The second dominant tune is playing, then there is a other rhythm. And her voice fits perfectly. What a master piece ( in my opinion). Wish I studied music to explain it better. And overall understand what they did
The hook, is belted. That's the core of the song. " I'll give you one more night, tonight"
Great analysis, brother.
if I just close my eyes this song still stirs up those first time feelings. first date. first time making out. first time falling in love and even the first time getting my heart broken. wouldn't give it up for anything love the 80's and everything that comes along with it like this song. sxydawg
I can relate
Give a listen to 85 Again song
Tell me what you think
Back at the Jersey shore, cruising for babes, with the radio blasting.
And I wake up, feel lost but time will never take my nostalgia
what a beautiful woman and what a beautiful song !
80s perfection.
The best songs and the best era!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shannon one of the GOATs of the 80's. Period.
This is such a great song. I really don't know why it wasn't a bigger hit
Right. I think it's because it's a bit dark. I mean Let the Music Play was a hit though. This one almost sounds forboding.
I love this song omg
Who said this wasn't big!? Shannon was huge back in the day
@@AndreMcHenry It was a dance hit but it didn't crossover
Let the music play was the huge hit. And this wasn't as good. Although still great. The standards were so high in the early 80s.
Love this song! Music in the 80's was everything! Love you, Shannon! ❤
Magnificent tune indeed
To this day, this song gives me chills! The mixing in this song is way beyond excellent as well as its time! I remember dancing to this in the clubs every single time I heard it. I never get tired of hearing this song!!
Oh! Que música linda, maravilhosa,clip maravilhoso. Eterna, Shannon❤❤❤🎉🎉
Gotta Love Old School. Brings back Good Times.
Some Kids don't know that their grandparents breakdanced to this music back then. 🥰
takes me back 33 yrs. never wavers. cant "beat the classic tunes"
I can clearly remember hitting tha dance floor, just gettin into tha grove so to speak, then I would say, gurl u cuttin tha rug 2nite! Lol love him so much, miss him even more! Rip my friend, Adrian
2024 and still listening... 😊 i'm 52.
I will be 59 next month and this music never gets old for me. La Puente Cali girl, backyard parties, community centers on Wednesday nights. Now I dance in my living room or kitchen... still good times and great memories!
Our kids will never understand
I'm 56 still listening
Oooooooh Hell Yes!! One of The Very Best Song's & Bestest Year's of My Life!! What an absolute Jam!!
Very. Nice. Happens. Thanks. No. Very
The 80's were a BADASS DECADE...TEENAGER
I used to go out in Washington, D.C. IN THE 90'S. ALL THE CLUB'S WERE JAMMING THIS
FULL THROTLE......
I used to go to The Bank dressed up in my best and dancing all night with my friends!
Gerry Perkins
yeah , nw Dc. remember Tracks night club, good times
The DJ played this at the high school that I went to in Los Angeles for the Home coming dance. Everyone showing off their moves and the guys breaking to this music. The clothes, Shoes and the HAIR! We were lucky we lived it!😎🤓😄
You needed to be a 60's baby to have been old enough to enjoy the 80's music! I was 17 going on 18 in 1980, not old enough to get into the clubs yet (21) back then. 80's had the best dance music!!
You are 10 years out , I was almost a teenager when this was out, the music listened to in your teens should determine your era
Choon!, still gives me goosebumps 30 years later.
That's what I call unforgetable music! Amazing Voice!!
this song is a masterpiece in every way of the production and singing , i must have heard it over a thousand times and it still gets to me .......in my all time top 3 forever.........
Love Shannon, this song was playing all the time in Atlantic city at studio 6. Now that was a great club.😀
This song is sheer musical perfection, damn it's a great song. Mmm-mm.
😉👍💙
You wont get to go away SHANNON, LOVE AIN'T GONNA LET YOU. Give us one more tonight Girl
