I think disco should be the only music that should be sampled

Yung Bae is not disco

Steve Silk Hurly - Jack Your Body (1986) was built on the bassline from LNMPA. The eldest bastard child.

What? No funk?

Been on a bit of a Marleena Shaw tip recently.

An excellent Chic track that I only became aware of recently, Happy Man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRXKxIXg7Fc

Chic with some spacier synth, what's not to like, plus a Nile Rodgers solo. And the last minute is just him playing rhythm over the hook, pure musical perfection.

Your text reminded me of Sheila B. Devotion - Spacer, which is basically Chic with a different singer.

And the ooh babys and honey let me tell you somethings and aw shucks in Todd Terry's Can You Party?

It was certainly a popular disco tune to sample in the early house days, this track from Ralphi Rosario in '89 is basically just a re-edit.

Happy man by chic is the purest of joy

[Sebastian Cobb]

Just so we're all agreed, Bad Girls is a ridiculously good album, yeah?

Very much so

I know it's Jacko, but Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough remains one of humanity's greatest achievements.

Got to be Real by Cheryl Lynn is supernaturally good. Something this high quality should not feasibly exist. She absolutely slays in live performances too, sounds exactly like she does on the record EXCEPT EVEN BETTER.

An obvious one, but the greatest disco song ever recorded is Knock on Wood by Amii Stewart. Unreal. Not up for debate. One of the best music videos too. All you need for a successful video is shit special effects, a paper mache hat thing, and sick dance moves.

Just so we're all agreed, Bad Girls is a ridiculously good album, yeah?

Yes, it's insanely ace, the last few tracks especially.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I'll admit I'm not a big fan of knock on wood, although I'm not against synths I much prefer the 'lots of musicians' sound in disco, and also much prefer both the Eddie Floyd and the Redding/Thomas versions.

A bastard child.

Funk is too pure too be sampled. Yes Chic are great. I always have a soft spot for Kool & The Gang. Always liked this by Stephanie Mills https://youtu.be/LExCRKCS5SM which has become famous again due to a show I guess

Lush, orchestral disco produced by the man behind the Village People, sung by a seventies gay porn star on the decadent Casablanca label

Dennis Parker - Like An Eagle

Fun fact that everyone probably already knows: the original chorus was 'Ahhh, fuck off!'. Le fuck, c'est chic doesn't really have the same ring to it though.

Anyway, another obvious choice but this will never not be fabulous - Upside Down by Diana Ross: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIAtE6ywgwA

The intro to this is all a bit sexy - I'm actually slightly less keen on it once the disco beat kicks in after the first minute or so, but it's still great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzO_4NS8NI

There's a 17 min Tom Moulton mix that drags the intro out for 6 minutes

If you like that downtempo sexy disco vibe you might like Sylvia - Pillow Talk

[flotemysost]

^ Thanks, I'm liking both!

[Urinal Cake]

On that note I really like Alcazar's version of Spacer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CiOWcUVGJM
One of the few times new lyrics sell the song over original- Crying at the Discotechque is a great chorus and 'tie like Richard Gere' is just a memorable line.

Posted elsewhere. Think this is disco, but it rocks

It's 1978 and The Three Degrees have just signed a new record deal with the German Ariola label and decide to get on the Disco party bus by recording the New Dimensions album with Giorgio Moroder, Pete Belotte and the 'Munich Machine' Musicland Studios crew. The long-form 6 track result was a fantastic melding of their trademark TSOP vocal harmonies and Moroder's motorik Eurodisco, and include the two fantastic singles Giving Up, Giving In and The Runner. The latter was retooled by Moroder for the 12" single release as an even further extended 8-minute epic
