3 Pop Songs From 1991 That Still Make Me Want to Dance Today
Three upbeat pop singles from 1991 remain popular as dance tracks: Michael Jackson’s “Black or White”, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam’s “Let the Beat Hit ’Em”, and C+C Music Factory’s “Here We Go (Let’s Rock & Roll)”. Their lasting appeal reflects the enduring impact of early 1990s pop and dance music.
