I love "Why?" also but it's hardly disco. Teddy Pendergrass also did a wonderful song called "Dream Girl" on the same soundtrack..

I love "why" but it is a sophisticated synth pop tune with an oberheim dmx drum machine.

it was a large hit here in the uk more ragga influence in there with digital synths etc...

great track.
