Move to Move is the debut album by Kon Kan, released in 1989 on Atlantic Records. It spawned the singles "I Beg Your Pardon", "Harry Houdini", "Puss N' Boots" and "Move to Move". The album reached number 69 in Canada.[2] "I Beg Your Pardon" was a top 20 hit in at least six countries, going top 5 in the UK and the Netherlands.

Group member Barry Harris produced the album, and wrote or co-wrote all but one cut. Kevin Wynne is lead vocalist on most songs, while Harris sang the title track and the ballad, "Am I in Love". Jon Lind, who co-penned the Madonna song "Crazy for You", and Bob Mitchell ("The Flame"), co-wrote material with Harris for the project.[3]
