(8,634 posts)Chic songs come to mind too. Everybody Dance. Btw Greatest Dancer was actually Sister Sledge, but it's the music of that great team of Edwards and Rodgers, so same diff. Also liked You Make Me Feel (Sylvester).

(99 posts)I remember reading that very disturbing book from my mother's shelf in the 70's, and seeing the movie years later. I don't like much disco, but a handful of songs still sound great decades later. I was just a kid then, so never owned a leisure suit (though my 1st grade class pic circa '71 shows me in flowery pants and little zip-up boots-I guess Mom wanted me to be fashionable).

One of very few songs that long which I'm actually sorry it ends. It gets played on the Studio 54 channel occasionally, but they usually don't play the extended version. I actually like the last half best.

(32,354 posts)With the exception of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," I absolutely hated the entire disco era---shitty, brain-dead, shake-your-ass "music." Glad it died, hope it never comes back.
I trust I've made my feelings clear...

(1,322 posts)Disco was ok in the 70s and I really didn't care that much for it. It wasn't until the movie The Martian came out and a running gag was Mark Watney was stranded on Mars and the only music there was was commander Lewis' disco collection to listen to. The disco music provide most of the soundtrack and it was then I started liking disco.
Disco songs I like are:
Hot Stuff
Dancing Queen
That's the Way (I Like It)

(244 posts)to having a huge crush on Donna Summers back in the day. But I never listened to her or any other disco, did not dance to it then and will not now.
Now bring out Pop Staples and his singers, let's have some soulful gospel!
debm55
(61,117 posts)YouTube search for Pop Stables and his singers. Thank you for the suggestion.

(10,206 posts)It's called "Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution"
It's available online through PBS. It is a really great documentary explaining the "birth" of disco in the early 70's to it's heyday in the mid to late 70's to it's "death". It gave me a much greater appreciation for the music to learn it's full history.

My wife & I met in a disco when these tunes were the rage.
#4 was our wedding dance tune. During tge slow intro we had dips & lifts. We really rehearsed for our reception.

Well, first dance as a married couple anyway. We did meet in a disco, after all.
