Jonah Ellis was most famous for his 1981 platinum hit single, “Don’t Stop the Music,” popularized by Yarborough and Peoples.

He appeared on “Soul Train” and “Dick Clark” dance shows. In addition to the platinum and gold revival of Ellis’s early cut “Don’t Stop the Music” by current pop artists Eve and Alicia Keyes in “Gangsta Lovin’,” and Puff Daddy in “Soul Food,” Jonah continued to write and perform internationally until his untimely death. His enduring impact on the music industry was recognized in 2003 and 2004 with BMI music awards for “Gangsta Lovin’.”
