I.M.O.T.Y. 1996
INFLUENTIAL   MUSIC   OF   THE   YEAR



"Partytime"
- Gloria Estephan

This is the first time an I.M.O.T.Y. Collection has included two songs from the same Artist when they didn't get the 'ALBUM OF THE YEAR' Award. Partytime is the second song from Gloria Estephan that I had no problem including on this year's Collection. Reach was an isolated song that had to be included, no question, because the emotions were too strong to go unoticed. But Partytime came along in October and once again showed how Gloria is talented in that she knows what people like in their music. You can easily see this in Turn The Beat Around and even as early as Congo from The Miami Sound Machine. Partytime immediately takes off and doesn't stop, making it hard to sit still and not sing along. I bought the cassingle with 5 different mixes of the song, and enjoyed all of them. The music is what I remember this song for, because whenever Partytime comes one, you know it's time to PARTY!
