Disco!

LG I Knew you had more disco in your vault somewhere, we just had to coerce it out of you

When I am in my cups I have a compilation album with quite a few old classics I play, I'm sure my neighbours must laugh when they hear them.

LOL...I rock the neighbors with Funky stuff all the time...these country folk around me need some culture

I always liked 70's R&B/Soul, but I never really warmed up to the Disco movement. Sure there were good songs here and there, but overall it just wasn't my thing. In 1979 I went to a Christmas party that a girlfriend's work threw at a nightclub in Hollywood. I have to admit that although the particular music played over the PA system that night wouldn't exactly have been my first choice, it was pretty cool to be in such a grown-up, adult atmosphere with an open bar and dancing to the likes of KC & The Sunshine Band, Donna Summer, Chic, The Commodores, Wild Cherry, The Silver Connection and probably even The Stones' "Miss You" thrown in for good measure.

There were two FM radio stations here in L.A. that played R&B/Soul/Dance/Disco as the decade progressed, and I would check them out occasionally, but at the beginning of the 80's it was evident the "No Disco" backlash was in full-force. At about the same time Steve Dahl's "No Disco" bonfire was taking place in centerfield at the White Sox game, I think Nikki Sixx was lighting himself on fire at The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

^^What you said about the party you attended and having fun with the old songs is exactly the same as I feel. I never bought any disco albums when it was popular, but anyone who went "Clubbing" back then got exposed to all the big name bands.

I would bet I have about 20 disco songs on assorted compilation albums, and like I told Magic, they take me back in time and are just fun to listen to once in a while.

I wouldn't mind going back to the wild dance parties we had back then...disco balls and all. Those were the happy days.

^^I agree Annie, the memories of our youth, fun times indeed.

Picked this one up a couple of days ago, mostly for one song not the edited radio version but the original album version.



Just like playing this kind of stuff once in a blue moon, usually in the dead of winter when I want to get rid of the blahs and have a few laughs.
