Still it carries that whiff of desperation that comes at bar closing time. :wink:

Carly Simon "WHY" (Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards (of CHIC) produced this one. I think that this one was pretty funky in the discotheque.)

 

[Mickactual]

Just thought of another one:
THE ROLLING STONES - Miss You
Please don't think less of me for this people...

As long as you don't mention "Disco Duck" by Rick Dees you should be fine.
Everyone can engage in a collective and well deserved moan right now. :biggrin1:

If I'm in the right mood, disco can be delightful (I'm partial to those Friday afternoon dance parties they play on the radio--driving home after a long week of work, it gets me in the right mood to par-tay :biggrin1.

Disco Inferno is the one that gets my hips moving the most on the dance floor.

LOL!

One more dose of disco cheese, then I promise I'm going back to the good stuff. Here's the disco versions of "Star Trek" and "Star Wars". Some DJ must've played these two records back to back along with the Rick Dees (nuts) tracks to spur on the violent death of Disco.

Before the natives get restless, I'll put away my copy of the rare disco album from Miss Piggy. Yes, even the Muppets got into the act (and I have played it in a club to either really funny or completely shocking results). :biggrin1:

That Star Wars stuff was cool, IMO. Meco is a sweet relic.

I think it was the complete dearth of heart, soul, and taste that the 1980's wrought upon society that killed disco. Not any particular song or artist.

Disco never really died. If anything, it went back to the gay and ethnic scenes where it emerged and eventually became what we call House music & Garage today. A lot of the good 80s dance tracks were rebranded as R&B or Funk due to the mainstream Disco backlash, but the influences were definitely apparent. I already listed "Call Me" by Skyy as one example. Here are a few others that I loved growing up.

Howard Johnson's "So Fine" (1982) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo28MJIVt98
One Way's "Cutie Pie" (1982) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohn5j1tPAtc
Junior's "Mama Used To Say" (1982) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwTTGnDcwoA
Evelyn Champagne King's "Love Come Down" (1982) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnh7YmXSviY
Tom Browne's "Funkin' For Jamaica" (1980) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuUy2ShGLyo

Ironically, this is around the same time that Hip-Hop started to spread its influence in the same cities that were responsible for the first wave of Disco back in the early 70s. Even though the first commercially successful Hip-Hop record was based off a Disco tune, the backlash prompted early pioneers to venture more towards R&B/Funk. In some ways, that is also reflected in the tracks listed above which blurred the lines between all of these genres even more.
