"The drum sound on “Let the Music Play” came from “Looking for the Perfect Beat” by Arthur Baker. The part that says “Beat this. Boom!” where it gets real heavy – I wanted to have this ambience through the whole record. Rod Hui was the engineer and he was an integral part of getting that sound. Mark and Rod were using the 808 with the plate reverb, and they started thinking, “We can’t keep the ambiance loud and out of control like the tape. Let’s start gating it.” Part of the “Shannon sound” was the sound of Jimi Tunnell, who is a man, singing on the chorus of “Let the Music Play” and “Give Me Tonight.” - Chris Barbosa, 2015

"They used gated reverb on the kick and the snare throughout the record. Of course, when I heard “Let the Music Play,” I went “God, I want drums like that,” when they had, basically, taken the idea from one of my records. We were all listening to each other." - Arthur Baker, 2015

"No one had any idea that “Let the Music Play” was going to be as big as it was. It was climbing the charts with a bullet. It became #8 in the US, and then started to peak in other countries. By 1984, it became part of the world Top 10 chart. It had so many different types of elements that the world fell in love with it, especially the Latino market. They were calling it the “Shannon Sound” at the time, which became the Miami Sound, which became the South Florida Sound and, eventually, after you had so many artists coming out, they changed it to “freestyle.”" - Shannon, 2015
