"Ride on the Rhythm," is a dance/house song recorded by DJ/remixer/producer Little Louie Vega, released in August 1991, by Atlantic Records. It features Marc Anthony when he was still a freestyle musician.
This house classic would help establish the successful careers of Vega and partner Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, who would later become more famous as Masters At Work, and for Marc Anthony, who picked up his first Billboard Hot Dance Club Play number one single. The track also featured backing rap vocals from Doug Lazy, Todd Terry on keyboards and co-production, The Basement Boys (the production team behind Crystal Waters and Ultra Naté) on piano and Luis Vega, Sr. on saxophone. This would also be the last single that Marc Anthony worked under freestyle genre before he signed on with RMM to start his career as a salsero singer.
I wanna ride on the rhythm
And groove to that nasty funky beat
And when it pumps I go crazy,
I'm gonna make you get on up and move your feet
Cause when the rhythm's right
It'll make you move all night
It's gonna keep you coming back for more
And when the beat is strong,
You'll party all night long
You'll party till you can't take any more.
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
I don't ever wanna stop.
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
Cause it feels so good to me
I wanna ride on the rhythm
I don't ever wanna stop
I don't ever wanna stop, no
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
Cause it feel so good.
(rap solo)
I'm gonna dance to the music
Cause the music takes me where I wanna be
I wanna get down when I use it
Cause I know the boomin' beat will set me free
Cause when the rhythm's right
It'll make you move all night
It's gonna keep you coming back for more
And when the beat is strong,
You'll party all night long
You'll party till you can't take any more.
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
I don't ever wanna stop.
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
Cause it feel so good to me
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
I don't' ever wanna stop, no
I wanna ride on the rhythm,
I don't ever wanna stop
Cause it feel so good.
Ride on the rhythm,
Ride on the rhythm,
Ride on the rhythm,
R...i...d...e
Ride on the rhythm,
Ride on the rhythm,
Ride on the rhythm,
