Don't Stop the Music - Yarbrough & Peoples - MP3 instrumental karaoke

A slick, stone-cold electronic funk intro, a catchy refrain celebrating the joys of communal activity, and a music video powered by hand puppets... what's not to love about "Don't Stop the Music"? This boogie odyssey was released in 1980 – just as disco was turning into post-disco – and keeps two feet firmly on the dancefloor and a keen eye on the disco ball. Yarbrough & Peoples – aka romantic couple Cavin Yarbrough and Alisa Peoples – first got together in the early ‘60s and poured their real-life chemistry into four studio albums during the ‘80s. However, ”Don’t Stop the Music" was their signature – and only hit – single, topping the R&B charts and reaching Number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track, which was included on the duo's debut 1980 album, The Two of Us, has been covered and sampled by numerous artists including TLC and Puff Daddy with Lil' Kim.
