Acting as the crucial commercial bridge between late-70s disco and 1980s synthesized pop, 'Funkytown' was completely dominant in global pop radio. Produced by Steven Greenberg, the track relies heavily on a relentless, robotic vocoder hook juxtaposed against Cynthia Johnson's incredibly powerful, soulful lead vocals. The song's massive success helped establish the burgeoning Minneapolis Sound.
