Let's Dance is still my all time favorite FunkJam it was a huge skating rink Hit I when i lived in Edwards AF Base in California I had my Box with me bungee cord on my bike handle bars just rocking this song. Still playing it at the 5th grade dance! And how many ppl think its Chaka Khan singing in this song and Jamaica Funk.

Midnight Interlude was the big tune in the UK clubs, circa 1981...
