Yes Virginia, I like disco

[D_Tim McGnaw]

Each and every one a classic: did I mention that I worked in a Disco in 1979?

I LOVE Candy Stanton and I love Young Hearts!!! So achingly sad and lovely at the same time. Thanks for posting that list it's brilliant

I dig disco. It's especially great on a dance floor (duh). But I also find it quite invigorating on the Friday commute home from work, when they conveniently have one of those "Disco Friday Night" programs on the radio.

My dad has a powder blue leisure suit. He wore it to a party a few years ago. We called him The Virgin Mary. It was hilarious! The scary part is why did he keep it? And the shirt, too! The collar spreads out all the way to his shoulders!!!

Ft Lauderdale for quite a while has had a resurrection an old gay tradition known as the Tea Dance, which starts early (in the 70s and early 80s, it would begin in the late afternoon, down here it really starts about 9:00 PM) and peters out (except for the die-hards) by midnight or so (one must work). The Tea Dance here gets passed around as bars close; it's currently at a place called The Sea Monster.

Despite the twink on the poster, most Tea Dance habitués are well into their forties and beyond, and the music featured is early-80s Hi-NRG. The first few times I went it felt like I'd been placed in a time warp and stuck back in 1983 :tongue:

But as they seem to always have the same DJ playing the same tired songs into the ground, it's easy to skip after a couple trips to the deep well of memories. What they don't ever seem to play are the kinds of songs I've listed above, which linger in a kind of YouTube semi-obscurity.

Sounds like the world (or at least Lauderdale) needs Bbucko to come out of semi-retirement and reclaim the mantle, as

DJ Jazzy Disco Fuck*

Master Spinner of killer Four-On-The-Floor Vinyl Beats and Munificent Purveyor of Outrageous Parties

More Crisco Disco from the vaults of my memory:


Jackie Moore This Time, Baby

France Joli Come To Me

Having been reminded of these two alone was worth the entirety of this thread and its creation.

This Time, Baby !!! (How could I have forgotten?)

...pure unabashed disco love. I can feel the floor moving. What a fucking trip it was.

ah me

Most critics think of "K.C. & the Sunshine Band" as being a "one hit wonder"... But, actually, they were a "three hit wonder"... lol

OMG!... Those bell-bottoms!
