An 80s house music classic, one of earliest American house releases I'm aware of that made it big across the world at dance clubs that promoted house music. Over the next decade and a half--what with acid house, raves and the Renaissance festivals and tours expanding the house music phenomenon from England to the world--it's no wonder that an updated version of "Ride the Rhythm" was released in 2001 on the 3-CD "Renaissance Ibiza" mix (by Z Factor).
