Don't Stop! is the ninth album by American R&B/soul group Bloodstone, released in January 1979, via Motown Records. The album is their sole album for Motown.

Background
By the mid-'70s, Bloodstone were starting to fade from the public eye, but despite that, they were still charting several singles and albums. In 1978, the group left their longtime record labels London/Decca Records to sign with Motown.

Production
Intriguingly, the group did not play their usual instruments; they only sang. Furthermore, none of them contributed to any of the songwriting on the album.

Release and reception
Don't Stop! was released in January 1979 via Motown Records, and unfortunately, the album did not chart, nor did it revitalize Bloodstone's popularity. Only one single was released to promote the album, "Just Wanna Get the Feel of It" b/w "It's Been a Long Time".
