Disco Essentials

For those born after 1980, who need to be enlightened about the art form that was disco:

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Last Dance - Donna Summer
Boogie Man - KC and the Sunshine Band
Disco Inferno - The Trammps
Ain't no stoppin' us now - McFadden & Whitehead
Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees
Night Fever - "" ""
Y.M.C.A. - Village People
I Love the Nightlife - Alicia Bridges
Turn the Beat Around - Vicki Sue Robinson; later remade by Gloria Estefan
Good Times - Chic
La Freak - "" ""
If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman
Love's Theme - Love Unlimited Orchestra
Can't Get Enough of Your Love - Barry White; later remade by Taylor Dayne
The Hustle - Van McCoy

Bonus Track: Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry; I don't consider it disco, but it sure is FUNKY!

This should be enough to get you started. Now pull out those bell-bottoms, platform shoes, afros, and all the polyester you can stand and hit the dance floor!

You forgot "More, More, More" and "In My House." If we're going to do this, let's do it right!

Summer from Lorelei Caroline said...

Huh...I grew up and know well almost all of those. There are a couple of titles that I don't recognize, but I might've heard them. Thanks, dad.

I noticed that you did not complete the bonus title with the phrase "white boy." In this politically correct age, how would you say that?
Color & age challenged non-female?

I prefer to use the term "melanin-challenged"

Oh Yeah! Sorry 'bout that!
