Don't stop the music - Yarbrough and Peoples

The duo Cavin Yarbrough and Alisa Peoples were discovered by Charlie Wilson from the Gap Band, and signed their first record deal in 1980. Their debut album 'The two of us' was released the same year, with the hit single 'Don't stop the music' becoming their biggest hit.

The single reached number 19 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 7 in the UK singles chart and number 2 in the Dutch Top 40. Because I was interested in pop music from a very early age, I still consider this track as one of the main sounds of 1981. It brings back memories of schooldays.
