Today Marks The 42nd Anniversary of Con Funk Shun’s 10th Studio Album “Fever” Originally Released on October 7, 1983.
“Fever” is the tenth studio album by Vallejo, California funk band Con Funk Shun released in 1983 on Mercury Records.
The album reached #12 on the U.S. Billboard Black LPs chart, and at #105 on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart.
Two songs were released from the album as singles "Baby, I'm Hooked (Right into Your Love)" and “Don't Let Your Love Grow Cold”.
"Baby, I'm Hooked (Right into Your Love)" peaked at #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, and at #76 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
"Don't Let Your Love Grow Cold" reached #33 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, and at #103 just beneath the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
"Can You Feel the Groove Tonight" became a standout track from the album.
“Fever” marked a shift in Con Funk Shun's sound, introducing more synthesizers and a more experimental approach, which was a departure from their earlier funk and disco-influenced style.
The album was produced by Eumir Deodato, a move that brought a different production style to their music, according to reviews of their later albums.
