1980 Stacy Lattisaw – Jump To The Beat (UK:#3)
“Jump To The Beat” is a song written by Narada Michael Walden and Lisa Walden. It was originally released by American singer Stacy Lattisaw in 1980 when it became a big hit in the UK, peaking at No. 3. It was later covered by Australian singer Dannii Minogue on her debut album, Love and Kisses in 1991. Stacy Lattisaw was only 13 years old when “Jump to the Beat” was released in May 1980. Although it was not released as a North American single, therefore did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, it reached No. 1 (along with another song “Dynamite!”) on the Billboard dance charts. Released in edited form as a single internationally, it became a big hit during the summer of 1980 in the UK, where it peaked at No. 3 in July.

The song was included on Lattsaw’s second album, Let Me Be Your Angel.
