Don't Stop The Music

It was recorded in 1980 for Yarbrough & Peoples’ debut album, The Two of Us, at Total Experience Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. The session was produced by Jonah Ellis and Lonnie Simmons. The single became the duo’s breakthrough release and established them on both the R&B and pop charts. It reached No. 1 on the US R&B chart and No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, while also peaking at No. 7 in the UK. The track remained the duo’s signature song and their biggest crossover hit. Its bassline-heavy boogie sound has been sampled and referenced by later R&B and hip-hop artists.
