"Don't Let the Music Die" is a pop ballad by the Bay City Rollers from their 1977 album It's a Game.[1] The tune, written by Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, and featuring a lead vocal by Les McKeown, is a slow, dramatic ballad with a heavily orchestrated arrangement and melancholy feel. It was released as a 7" double A-side vinyl single (with "The Way I Feel Tonight") in Japan, where it became a chart hit.[2]
