version of it was there too..... Planet Patrol...... Lisa Lisa Cult Jam.....Debbie Deb....Shannon's let the music play was released out of New York...

it was definitely a bi-coastal thing....

We could say that on both coasts you had a "Hip hop movement" that didn't exclusively utilize Rap.....You had singers singing lead on songs that were leaning towards a more r&b-ish style of the so-called electro funk...

I would say that Evelyn Champagne King begat Shannon's Let the music play.....
