“i wanna have some fun” peaked inside the top 20 on billboard’s Black singles chart and top 5 on the dance chart and hot 100, respectively. in the span of three years from 1986 to 1989, fox achieved three consecutive gold albums and just as many top 10 pop singles in the US.

most people are familiar with the 1999 “reimagining” of “wanna drop a house (on that bitch)” by the tamperer featuring maya entitled “feel it.” that version prominently featured uncredited vocals by heather leigh west and masterfully sampled the jackson’s 1981 song “can you feel it.” #musichistory
