YOUR COMMENTS

Very interesting and suprising chart, Sheila with "Love me baby" rather than the classic "Spacer". This wide notion of disco prove the influence of this music, for yesterday and today. Excuse my bad english but I'm french;

Posted by: raynman | Jul 11, 04 | 10:08 am

This is so cool! It's like taking a walk through time. I would have added "Thousand shades of blue", by the Dramatics and Lady, Lady, Lady

A great list of disco records but where is:
Rock Me / Ullanda Mcculough

Impeccable taste. It's obvious that these selections are listed in order of popularity; not in play order, as that has everything to do with what's going on in the room. Stupid question: if this was compiled with a database or computer spreadsheet, could one input the playing times of all of these tracks and then come up with a grand total playing time for all 700 tracks (therefore informing us how long we'd need, minus overlap mixing one into the other, to do a countdown to include all of 'em in public performance, perhaps for charity?!)

Oh, by the way, I was very, very disturbed to see that you'd failed to include even one selection from "The Ethel Merman Disco Album!" (Just kidding -- save the rotten tomatoes)

Thanks for the hard work, guys!

Posted by: cjay | Nov 08, 04 | 2:58 pm

I enjoyed singing a medley of songs as I scrolled thru the 70's. Loved it. And where is "Love Magic" by John Davis and "The Hustle" at 272? REALLY! Everyone has their own personal relationship with a particular song and I would have changed some of the rankings, but overall dude, you covered it pretty much. I give you 4 stars out of 4 stars.

Posted by: Jerrydrlove | Nov 14, 04 | 1:32 pm

It would be interesting to define at first the limits of "Disco-era", since me personally couldnt put Vicki Sue Robinson and Andrea True besides the Pet Shop Boys, and I'd check carefully... #607 "Ai no corrida" is a theme by MASTER Quincy Jones.... NOT by Chas Jankel (This one did "Glad to know you" on 1983 excellent album...) as far as my memory and vinyls collection let me remember. Otherwise there are songs I didn't heard for so many years and all of a sudden were like a BIG flashback! THANKS for a site like this! All we Seventies-born-and-raised children have a lot to be thankful!

"#607 "Ai no corrida" is a theme by MASTER Quincy Jones.... NOT by Chas Jankel (This one did "Glad to know you" on 1983 excellent album...) as far as my memory and vinyls collection let me remember."

Actually Chas Jankel co-wrote this song and Quincy redid it for his album, but Chas DID put it out first. I have the actual promo that we were serviced with in the record pool.

Posted by: BigPoppa | Dec 30, 04 | 8:32 pm

Most stuff mainstream popular just means played, not rememberered... but here are some real oldskoolers for those who know.. by the way we are talking disco here....Sun Sun Sun by Ja Kki, To Be with you by Jimmy Sabater, Midnight love affair Carol Douglas, Miss Broadway by Belle Epoque, Let Them Dance by DC Larue, Le Spank and Get your Boom Boom by Le Pamplemousse and TaSamba...

As a DJ and one that provides Disco Theme parties to my clientele, I didn't see some of the largest disco songs ever that are requested all the time. Dancing Queen, Take a Chance on Me; both by ABBA. In the Navy by Village People and Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers. Otherwise, the list is pretty impressive and as a matter of fact I found a few songs I didn't have. None of which have ever been requested but defintely ones that I could add.

Posted by: djcopious | Jan 25, 05 | 4:51 pm

Stuff Like That - Quincy Jones (Featuring Chaka Khan)

Posted by: bluewingspeaks | Jan 27, 05 | 3:57 am

Great list . Lots of Cerrone --- but not "Trippin' On The Moon " ? ---- also maybe I missed it ...long list ... but "Deputy Of Love" ?

Posted by: remicks | Jan 30, 05 | 9:37 pm

I have a theory that DJs, like all of us, get tired of the same-old same-old. They, me included, got pretty tired of the really big hits which got flogged on the radio (and everywhere), so they (me too) tended to seek out different material. This explains why some tracks which are very well known, and were big sellers, are way down the list. So, the order may be debateable, but the content makes me want to dance! Kudos to all involved!

Posted by: Dean From OZ | Feb 05, 05 | 9:20 pm

some songs are listed a few times . Do duplicates count in your "700"

Posted by: itjim | Feb 10, 05 | 4:20 am

Kudos DJ's an excellent list!! Noticed some obvious and some not so obvious selections...I tend to agree with Dean that DJ's would have an immune ear to the radio repeats.....but I thought it was odd to include Thompson Twins (though one of my favorite groups) and Prince's Erotic City (also a great song, but for this list?) Where's Sylvester? Miquel Brown (He's a Saint, He's a Sinner), Evelyn Thomas, Festival, Abba, Bobby O; yet Queen and Madonna's Borderline? Not Everybody or Physical Attraction? Oh well, I guess there can't be a perfect list, because music speaks to all a little different....but really...GREAT LIST!

Let's just bump up Macho's I'm a Man a couple of notches and consider AGENT 406 and Salazar's 1-2-3

Posted by: marcomarco | Feb 19, 05 | 2:23 pm

Nice list...I guess you missed 'American Generation' by Ritchie Family? Carl Carlton ('Everlasting Love', 'She's a bad mama jama'), Cloud One, mmm...but was a nice list!

Hey hey, everyone on this website, such impeccable taste -- because we all know what REAL MUSIC sounds like -- not this sampled, stolen, software-synthesized crap which fills the clubs and radio airwaves nowadays!!! Thank god we're all on the same page here!

Vince Montana, Cerrone, John Davis, Mike Theodore, Celso Valli, Ashford and Simpson... why does it all stop around 1983? I think what people like us have to do is to not only keep playing these songs, but use our own resources and knowledge to make new, viable pop / dance music. If you know how to play a piano or a guitar -- and not just one lousy riff -- then write some new music, please! Why could thousands of musicians do it in 1978, and why is pop music a ZERO today? Make it come alive again !! Ive got my guitar and bongos and synths in my new studio, ready for 2005... if people like us who deeply understand and appreciate disco can't do it, then no one can, i really believe that :-)))

OK Chicago - Resonant

Some favorites listed include: Move on Up by the Destinations, This time, baby by Jackie Moore, Forbidden Love, Madelaine Kane,Come into my heart, Rio de Janiero ( Gary Criss?), Sinner Man ( Sarah Dash?), and what about COPACABANNA? Loved that one. Just today someone called me and said: Her name was Lola... she was a showgirl... but that was 30 years ago! Oh, I was the one who answered my phone that way! No feathers in my hair, though!

Rio de Janeiro, that was Jay Vincent Edwards in '78, but maybe you have also right with Gary Chriss. I heard 2 different songs with this title

Although I never knew the name of a lot of songs and the singers, is there any way we could listen to or download this music???
Please help me!!!

P.S. Where's "Easy Lover" with Philly Baley and Phil Collins???

I am only 23 years old, but these are the songs i grew up on. I was happy to see that groups like first choice get recongnized on this site. I do think that the order of some of these songs can be rearranged, and some songs are not as disco as others, but all and all pretty good collection. I wish todays music cam close.

Posted by: fatimah | Jul 29, 05 | 8:13 pm

Wow what a site, here I was surfing the net to try and find some to the very music you are all talking about and I find you in addition. If I may here is my short list; Groovin You - Harvey Mason, Double Cross - First Choice, Keep in Touch/Body to Body -Shades of Love, Must Be the Music - Secret Weapon, Play at Your Own Risk - Planet Patrol, and the one that is killing me to find WITHOUT YOU - Touch 1985.

Posted by: MzDre | Aug 01, 05 | 7:49 pm

WITHOUT YOU by TOUCH, hmmm I have that 12" in Puerto Rico I had to buy it when it was being played on a NEW YORK CITY MIX SHOW back in 1985!!! Great track!!!!But yes, I do have the 12"

Posted by: DJ CRUZ | Aug 02, 05 | 5:49 pm

The list is ok, but it's missing some good stuff like Brazilian NIghts by Gary Criss, One Love by Celi Bee, Evita, Looking for Love by Fat Larry's Band, Disco Samba, Hold Tight by VS Robinson. How could you forget When Love is New by Arthur Prysock???!!! I could go on and on, however, if I played Ring My Bell, Born to Be Alive, anything by KC & the Sunshine Band, Brick House, and others, I would be shot!!! AM radio disco music does not belong on this list!!! Since when did the early Diana Ross and the Supremes; Baby Love, etc, become disco. I know that everyone has their favorites and styles, but many of these songs will clear the dance floor.
Your big time dancers (NY), would not want to hear many of these songs.

These were all great songs but but we must not forget .. in my opinion the early early disco music from 1973-1976 . This was the start, and the music was super hip. It was born right out of the GREAT SOUL Music of the late 60's.
In my opinion the top 20 most important EARLY disco tunes.
1. Date with the rain - Eddie Kendricks ( this song was the number one dance floor attacker for many years)
2. Honey Bee- Gloria Gaynor
3. Love is the Message- MFSB
4. Zing went the strings - Tramps
5. Stoned out of my Mind- Chi lites
6. Welcome to the Club - Blue magic
7. Look me up- Blue magic
8. Newsey Neighbors - First Choice
9. Sugar pie Guy- Joneses
10. Time to get down - Ojay's
11. One night Love Affair- Ojays
12. Gut Level- Blackbyrds
13. Feel the need in me- Detriot Emeralds
14. Touch and Go - Ecstacy Passion and Pain
15. Ask Me-Ecstacy Passion and Pain

I totally agree with you Frank. I know almost all of the ones you mentioned. Allow me to mention a few more:
BT Express - Do it
Disco Tex - Get Dancin'
The Softones - That Old Black Magic
The Destinations - I've Got to Dance
(to keep from crying)
War - Gypsy Man

You guys forgot Nowhere & Swing by Hokis Pokis.

Posted by: Irving Lugo | Sep 09, 05 | 5:25 pm

I'm an original disco'er and I STILL love the songs after almost thirty years. I have discovered great new ones here I never heard while living through the era. The 700 song list changes depending on who is asked, but they are all fun and exciting to dance to. I learned the hustle while dancing to Native New Yorker, but bottom line is the clubs need to come back!!!

Posted by: Discojet | Sep 12, 05 | 7:04 pm

How can you overlook Convertion's "Let's Do It?" Grace Jones "Pull Up to the Bumper?" (or any Grace Jones song for that matter). "I Don't Want You Back" by Ramona Brooks. "Jocelyn Brown's "Moment of My Life."

Posted by: discodiva | Sep 12, 05 | 9:22 pm

Love the list. Loved the 70s. I have many compilation CDs but usualy it's the same 30 or so songs. People my age (around 50) need places to go to be with people our age and listen and dance to the 70's disco. It was great and after all these years it still sounds great. I have great memories of that era!

Posted by: Aeroursula | Sep 14, 05 | 2:23 am

Hey Sylvain !
Just by starting to read your list I knew you were from Montreal. Excellent list you provided ! Man, the memories you just brought back !!! Great site guys keep up the good work !

Posted by: DJ Culla | Sep 15, 05 | 4:14 am

I'm another young head with an old soul! I'm 23 years old but I have been listening to this music since...

First choice was poppin back in the day but what about my girl Alicia Meyers: I Want To Thank You!

Posted by: X-Man82 | Sep 16, 05 | 2:29 pm

What happened to First Choice? SalSoul Orchestra ft. Charo? There should've been way more France Joli and Loleatta Halloway tracks on there as well. What happened?

Posted by: Emilio | Sep 17, 05 | 8:16 am

Great list but one of the most requested in the club that we hung out in was HAPPY RADIO by Edwinn Star, just wondering if anyone else was familar with the song or was it just a local thing?

Posted by: Riggs | Sep 19, 05 | 3:54 am

Great List, but one of my all time favs is Sharon Brown's "I Specialize In Love." Ahhh.. what memories.

Posted by: DJBotz | Sep 19, 05 | 1:53 pm

I know, Euro Disco was unfavorable out there, though I must to name a few:
Chilly
Eruption
Gilla
Arabesque
A La Carte
Ottowan
Boney'M
HOT R.S.

Laid Back
Sandra
Modern Talking

etc, etc.

Dudes how can you not put a good Kiss song. How about I Was Made For Loving You. Now what are you supposed to do when that comes on. You cant just sit there and look around. When this baby comes on you jump on your bike and start getting jiggy with it. Get the sissor fingers going and got rub up to some hot babe.

Come down under to Aus and we will chuck a shrimp on the barbie and ill so you some real music.
Peace Out Dudes

Posted by: Pimpin'88 | Sep 21, 05 | 12:29 am

Jean Paul,

Where on any of these lists is Jimmy James' "I can't stop my feet"(from dancing) The late 70's & early 80's radio( "la gang du 5 a 8 !) in Montreal was hot.
Not to mention clubs like "1234" "Limelight", Studio "55' "Oz"
"C'est Chic" .........

Posted by: DJ Culla | Sep 21, 05 | 7:38 am

Wow!!!
Le 5 � 8!
Either with the late Alain Montpetit (CKMF) or Michel Jasmin (CIEL), it was a delight! Not 2 mention Douglas Coco L�opold.
Man, those were the days in MTL.

As DJ Culla mentionned, the Twelve34 with Norman Neuschild spinning the tables was AWESOME if U liked classy Disco. "Disco OZ" was well known 4 it's jet set client�le. Also, I will never forget Studio55 right beside Peel m�tro, <Chez R�gine> and The Limelight with disc jockey extraordinaire Robert Ouimet.

The best of all is that those songs all sound great after these years. After all, isn't House Music & Techno a "d�riv�" product of what the great Disco music once was...

Here's 10 other greats!

Bob McGilpin - Superstar
Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway - Back Together Again
Booker T. & The MG's - Melting Pot
Vincent Montana - You Know How Good It Is
Martin Stevens - Midnight Music
Geno Washington - That's Why Hollywood Loves Me
Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio - Still In The Groove
Jerry Knight - Now That She's Rockin'
George McCrae - Don't You Feel My Love
The Real Thing - Can You Feel The Force

Disco 4 ever!
Disco gets da best of me!

WOW What a list, am 56 was the original DJ at the M&K in Asbury Park, NJ....One of the first disco's in New Jersey......That list sure brings back memories....

John

Posted by: John | Sep 23, 05 | 3:02 am

Sylvain (et al), This site boogies !
Have we mentioned the following?

Player One..... Space Invaders,
'Lectric Funk....Shangheid,
Theo Vaness....As long as it's love,
FOXY......Party Boys,
Freddie James "007 mix"
The list could go on & on ! Montreal was the scene and it's back even on the air with "Back Spin"! Maybe we could even re-open "Caesar's Palace" and roller boogie!
Is the Kebekelktrik still around??
When Alain moved to CIEL-FM it just wasn't the same! No more grand "Tra la la's" from "Coco" !
PS. You are so right about DJ extraordinaire Robert Ouimet!
Maybe we could get Michel Jasmin back to host a new "5 a 8" ! We could dig up some old 12" singles from "Pierre Musique" (or my old old old employer "Discus"
Keep it going guys !

Posted by: DJ Culla | Sep 27, 05 | 5:45 am

BTW - It was also voted 3rd best selling disco song ever by the tv show TOP 10 ...Channel 4 - UK. ...

Posted by: kerrymatthews | Oct 22, 05 | 3:19 am

Whoever said that Mac Arthur Park is missing -- it's #18 on the list. I love this site -- I am in the worst possible position, there's a song I remember just falling about for at discos in the late 70s, and I can't remember the singer, the lyrics, the song, nothing. All I remember is lots of trumpets. :(

Lou Rawls- You'll never find
Gary Byrd ft Stevie Wonder- The Crown
The Trammps- Hold Back The Night

Posted by: Rudder | Nov 25, 05 | 2:51 am

I just don't believe that Patrick Cowley is not highly rated on that list !!!
Only 600th for Menergy ???!!1
And what about :
- Megatron Man ;
- I Wanna Take You Home ;
- Do You Wanna Funk (with Sylvester) ;
- Tech-No-Logical World ,
and almost his greatest hits ???!!!
Cowley was a genius and his disco (electronic disco) is still heard like today's dance music !!!
A shame that he was not understood as a man far behind his (musical) time and today he is not given any importance and so few of us (Cowley's fans) are still here to remind him !!!
He did a revolution in disco music and it seems almost nobody noticed it !!!
Shame , Shame , Shame !!!

Posted by: tontonpt | Nov 25, 05 | 3:56 pm

Love the list, but what about all the classics of Bohannon. If Donna Summer is the queen of disco, isn't Hamilton Bohannon the king?

many greetz from Belgium, where we are gonna disco this weekend in the Warehouse, Roeselare, Belgium. Its not Studio 54, but still we do keep the disco alive! Cheers!

Posted by: dj Mathieu | Nov 29, 05 | 12:23 am

Excellent list!
Glide by Pleasure is the best tune. And "Other Galactic Funk" by Meco - wow, I was surprised to see that. I thought I was the only one who got off on it!
Chas Jankel's Ai No Corrida is my preferred version of that song.

Others I would add, though some lean more toward funk, are:
Bon Bon Vie by T.S. Monk
Disco to Go by The Brides of Funkenstein
D Train - You're The One For Me
David Christie - Saddle Up
Skyy - Here's To You
Stephanie Mills - Sweet Sensation
Sun - Sun Is Here
Patrice Rushen - Forget-Me-Nots
The Gap Band - Shake
Tom Browne - Thighs High
Billy Preston - Outa Space

(if Mr. Big Stuff can get on a disco list, I can get a little outside with Outa Space! :-) )

Posted by: Jo-Anne | Dec 02, 05 | 4:56 pm

Great list, but I would definitely add the following:

Love Chant by Eli's Second Coming
Movin by Brass Construction
Boogie Funk (don't remember the artist)

Posted by: Mary Ann Teel | Dec 04, 05 | 9:50 am

Awsome list, can't think of any other top song, of course there's many other "good ones", but definetely, boogie woogie dancing shoes from claudja barry could be included guys. Thanks for the input to disco music.

Saldana.

Posted by: creutzfeldt | Dec 04, 05 | 11:18 am

It would be interesting to 'even up' the contributions from U.S. and non U.S. DJs on the next chart, as it would look completely different. Unfortunately, I've always felt that this site (and this and other charts here) are too U.S. based and possibly too GAY club play based. I realise that you can only work with whatever raw material is to hand (i.e. those DJs that visit the site and contribiute a chart), but the results are too biased to be of any real use or particular merit, because of that.
A little more thought really needs to go into the next one and then I would contribute. As it is, any selections I'd put forward would have had little to no impact whatsoever because of the bias.
Voyage made a few popular Disco records, but not one of them was a number one or even a top ten track of all time! Never in a million years.

Otherwise, yes there are lots of good tracks here, lots of really odd also rans and some downright dodgy selections gaining higher positions than bona fide classics and anthems, with many true floorfillers completely left off. That can't be a healthy state of affairs.

Posted by: Quinny | Dec 05, 05 | 11:46 am

Great list guys but you left out so many, Love Injection, Deputy of Love, Big Time and what about Stephanie Mills, don't forget "it's all right" by Gino Soccio, and "Juicy"- How about Denroy Morgan, "I'll do anything for you. Dance on people........

Posted by: Walter Eisenhardt | Dec 08, 05 | 2:54 am

Eureaka! I thought I was the only person stuck on disco! I found a vast selection of disco that I've been looking for for years. I've got to admit, I felt like I was a kid in a candy store when I came across the" 700 D.J.Certified Top Disco Dance songs". It's all the music I have been trying to find on my own. I truly believe what we cannot do alone, we can do together. Can someone please tell me how can I buy all of the songs on the "700" list I mentioned? I don't know how to go about it. Please bear with me and keep in mind that I don' know too much about computers and am interested in purchasing all that wonderful music on several c.d's...if they sell it that way. I live in Schnectady, New York and I NEVER, NEVER, EVER!!!! ... listen to the radio stations they have out here. I'ts the same 50 songs a day radio station. I'ts not worth my time to listen to and I need to listen to my kind ofmusic from the 70's. Besides I'm trying not to burn out the disco music I do own now. Pleare reply. God Bless.

Posted by: nena bermudy | Dec 20, 05 | 5:50 am

Nena,
While more music from the 700 Top Songs list are now out on CD, there are still some that have never been released on CD so you'll never be able to get them all on CD. Start your search on our Disco CD page which lists hundreds of various Disco CDs. It's at http://www.discomusic.com/cds-index

Posted by: Bernie: DiscoMusic.com | Dec 20, 05 | 6:27 am

Absolutely loved your website and reliving the past. However, please add to your 700 collection
"Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (Santa Esmeralda). Also, how can i purchase some of these mixes?

Disco Fan

Posted by: Bertha | Dec 22, 05 | 5:44 am

This website is fantastic and brings back a lot of memories. I was glad to see Patrice Rushen make this list (Forget Me Nots) .. my fave song !! I am a spinner from way back and worked some of the early clubs in Toronto (Brandy's, Richard's, Scotland Yard etc). One song that didnt make this list is ... IOU by Freeze !!

Posted by: Al Sillito | Dec 23, 05 | 12:55 pm

There are some great, records in the 700 DJ Certified Top Disco Dance Songs list.

I'll definitely keep these in mind when in 2006 my, next 70's Dance Party Mix!

Posted by: Delmar Browne | Dec 25, 05 | 5:06 am

Stumbled by accident into the room...read every comment from all...read every one of the 700 listings and have to say even I , saw a few i can't recall while doing my show at Toronto's CKFM back in the early 70's . One group I played much was * dennis coffee band *.....sort of underground disco , just never seemed to make it big...I would have been surprised to have seen him listed , though , to me , and the calls i got at the station , suggested they were good . Great site !!...and as one baby boomer said in yer comments * we need to open the disco club doors again !....seems I can't recall ever seeing classy dressed guys and gals like that at clubs lately . The music was more then what the kids these days say of it . It had rythem and sopistication !...and ya could understand the words !!!...................disco does live !!!
ask my 23 and 27 year old kids !........
peace all.............................Larry

Posted by: Larry | Dec 25, 05 | 6:23 am

Loved the list! Thanks for all the hard work. I got an ipod for Christmas and was looking for the names of all the songs I used to dance to in the 70s and 80s. Met my husband on the dance floor at Maxim's in Tysons Corner, VA in 1979! We still love to dance but can never find any clubs where people can "really" dance. Dancing without that club atmosphere just isn't the same!!

It's great to know there are others out there who feel the same!

Posted by: Judy | Dec 29, 05 | 4:04 am

For Christmas, my wife got me the two soundtrack CDs for the movie "54". Best collection of dsico songs ever.

Highly recoomed for diehards.

Posted by: MarkyMark | Dec 29, 05 | 12:09 pm

What ever happened to Take a Chance on Me by Watership Down. I am 65 years old and still have a lot of these songs on origional long play records. Big band,disco and ball room are still the best. Watch all the dance shows I can. Keep up the good work. Thanks

Posted by: Robert Manssen | Dec 31, 05 | 6:45 pm

Are you all kidding with some of these radio wanna be disco song's. Half of them have no percusion! Village people, james brown,abba- that is not disco. You can dance to the chili's-I got my baby back ribs song. That doesn't mean it's dance music.

Posted by: ric | Jan 04, 06 | 6:26 pm

And as for the list only about 200 songs belong there if that.

Posted by: ric | Jan 04, 06 | 6:28 pm

Some on list are more pop, but its still a great list. To me, the true disco era was 1975 to summer 1980, with 1979 having the best songs. After that, its all dance music.

Posted by: MarkyMark | Jan 05, 06 | 1:24 pm

OH sh*t, I was a club DJ in the early 80s while in school. I have half of these songs in milk crates in my basement right now.

Thanks a lot, now I'm going to have to go buy a turn table and mixer again and re-capture my lost youth...

What a great site!!!!

Posted by: Ray Mac | Jan 06, 06 | 3:15 pm

All the freestyle stuff in the mid to late 80's was probably the best music in my eyes...

But the absolute best song of the 70's disco was romeo and juliet by Alec r. Constandinos

Posted by: Jose | Jan 14, 06 | 9:08 am

What about walk right now of the Jacksons?? Mr. Giorgio moroder�s "chase"", father of the computer music!! Great list, i been looking for this for many years!!! Thanks!!

Posted by: john angulo | Jan 14, 06 | 1:56 pm

My personal faves:
THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD: MACHINE
NOW THAT WE FOUND LOVE: THIRD WORLD
YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME: D TRAIN

ANYTHING BY GEORGE CLINTON & PARLIMENT
NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR: MIDNIGHT STARR
FREAK SHOW ON THE DANCE FLOOR: BARKAYS
I FEEL FOR YOU: CHAKA KHAN

Memories of "The Stardust", "Bentley"s", "Leviticus", "Studio 54", "Club 371", "The Silver Shadow", and many more. I feel like doing "the hustle". Superb list, but where's:

A Fifth of Beethoven - Walter Murphy and The Big Apple Band

Jam On It - Nucleus

Too Hot - Kool and the Gang

Posted by: Ray Knowings | Jan 23, 06 | 1:53 pm

I was the "original DJ" from 1975 until 1977 at "Manny's Den" in new Brunswick, NJ.

The list of 700 is "fantastic"!

It is hard to believe, how many Disco songs were composed between 1973 - 1981.

Three of my early favorite's that John from the M&K in Asbury park should remember playing, as I played them also is:

1- When the Fuel Runs Out.

2- Dark Skin Blue Eyed Boys

3- Tom The Peeper

And let's now forget " Were On the Right Track Now"

I could go on & on. Those were the days my friend.

Very Impressive List!!!! I Dj'd in the 70s/80s off and on...started buying 12" singles and getting promos at the beginning of Disco...and I think the greatest Disco song ever was

Marlena Shaw/Touch Me In The Morning

My other favorites...
Space/My Love is Music
Machine/There But For The Grace of God
Deodato/SOS Fire in the Sky
Chaka Khan/Any Love
LTD/Back in Love Again

Hi Randy!

I live in Montr�al and have been to the Limelight 1254 Satnley manny times between 1979 and 1986!

I've heard some great deejays there like Robert Ouimet, Michel Simard, Pierre Mainville and Michel Landry.

Montr�al will always be Canada's #1 Disco city! There are still great Disco clubs in MTL in 2006!

By the way I like your list, especially Bob McGilpin's 'Superstar' and Charlie Calello's 'Sing Sing Sing'!

Disco rules!

I am so pleased to have stumbled on to this "blast to the past" DISCO site. Many congrats to your attempt at tackling such a difficult task in compiling an all time "top 700"...there will always be something left out. Having lived thru those incredible magical times, one track comes to mind that is missing from your list that I am confident will hit some "emotional buttons"...

"Let me take you dancin"
Bryan Adams

That song had Everybody on the floor !

Posted by: Linda | Feb 13, 06 | 1:24 pm

Great List! I have a great collection of what I would call early disco - 1973-74. We were 16 trying to get into all the clubs but one of our first experiences was Harlows in Atlantic City. The dj was fantastic - I don't remember who it was - after awhile it was a guy named Jerome Palumbo from So. philly - also great. I have many 45's, LPs, and 12" records stuffed in boxes and have been collecting CDs over the years to replace them - it's been hard - how about these additions:
1. Who is he and what is he to you - Creative Source
2. Happiness is just round the bend - Main Ingredient
3. Good things don't last forever - Ecstasy, Passion, Pain
4. Sending out an S.O.S - don't remember
5. Crystal World - ??
6. Hijack - Herbie Mann (vs. Barrabas)
7. Rainforest - ?
8. Jump for Joy (maybe Biddu Orchestra?)
9. Life and Death in G&A - I wish I could find this one somewhere - have been looking for years
10. Honey Baby Be mine - I think the Jonses - (hit before Sugar Pie Guy)
11. Have a Good Day - Bohannon - this song always ended the night in Harlows and it was a great song, but it was sad because it meant the night was over.

Posted by: Barbara Calvarese | Feb 14, 06 | 4:17 am

This is a great site; many great memories. Thanks. I am trying to think of songs that were omitted. What about Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff"? Barry Whites' "You're My First, My Last, My Everything", and "Never Gonna Give You Up"? I also couldn't find these:Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting", the Stylistics' "I Can't Give You Anything But My Love", George McRae's "Rock Your Baby" and Billy Preston's "Nothing From Nothing". I was glad to find "Rock The Boat" which is usually omitted from lists of disco hits. Thanks again.

Absolutely love the list! Most of the songs were familiar to me, but some surprises too. My favourite disco songs? Hard to say, but maybe the following top 5?
1. Jingo - Candido
2. Girls - Moments & Whatnauts
3, Try it out - Gino Soccio
4. On the beat - BB & Q
5. Sunset people - Donna Summer

Posted by: Karin Christensen | Apr 15, 06 | 5:13 am

NO WAY would I have listed the first 10 records in my top ten. Much too eurodisco (soul-less) for my taste. Tracks 11 - on begin many of the good disco records.

And I thought this was for 70s music. How did some of these tracks from 80s get in here? Disco was music, not synthesized robotic junk. (Georgio Moroder not withstanding) and some of these very 80s songs do not belong on this list. JIMHO, of course.

Posted by: MMace | Apr 15, 06 | 6:26 pm

Disco fan here, one of the few still around in Mexico I guess!

LOVED THE LIST! Some of them, I don't agree, but oh well.... In general - GREAT!

A few of them I don�t know since they never made it across the south border of US.

How about Paul Jabara's "Honeymoon in Puerto Rico". One of the best disco songs ever.

Back in the late 70's, there was this group (can't remember the name) who had this song (can't remember the title) but it said something like:

"Baby let's do it, the French way"

This might be title - not sure.

Anyone can help?

And how about Tamara's "Everybody loves a Dancer". The best beat ever!!!

Would love to hear from other disco fans.

VIVA LA MUSICA DISCO!

Posted by: Luis A. Gonzalez | Apr 19, 06 | 5:08 pm

This list is the best I've seen for a log time.Need to add "Gotta Dance" by Pacific Blue . thanks and check my blog at jffdj.com

Posted by: Bill | May 03, 06 | 7:19 am

Hi fellow disco fans! I'm only 25 but am absolutely infatuated with disco music and have been since around the age of 13/14! I compose & sequence music on a synth and have created quite a bit of my own disco! My last track was called "Nightflight To Boogieland" and was inspired by the front cover to Boney M's album of a similar name!

Great list, some real rare cuts on there - what I like to see!

Would of liked to have seen "Chika Boom" by Foxy on the list; such a great fusion of latin & disco!

Stay funky folks and keep the old Disco '45's rolling forever!

Posted by: Disco Dan | May 10, 06 | 10:36 am

This list is awesome!!!! It should be made into a cd set and sold!
I would be the first in line to buy it!....
something to think about, it would be a "Best" seller!

Posted by: mizdee | May 20, 06 | 11:13 am

Hi John (from the former M & K Disco Bar in Abury Park, NJ),

I was shocked & surprised to see your response up above.

We sure were lucky to be DJing during the early Disco period.

I remember how you pumped those "Ecstasy,Passion & Pain" songs, along with "First Choice". You were a real spin artist! You knew how to pack a dance floor & keep it hopping.

Do you remember playing the long version of Gene Pages song: "Wild Cherry". I never could get Atlantic Records to send me a copy of that "Disco Version'. They would only give me the album, with the short version.

Than in 1976, you were the first Jersey DJ I believe to play Faith, Hope & Charities: "The Year Of Celebration". I flew out to find the record, and got a copy in New York city from the record company.

John, remember joining the DJ pool up on, I believe it was Cookman Ave, in the old bank building?

I sure would love to get together with you & discuss the old Disco DJing days, whatever became of the M & K.

I remember you "very" well. You sure worked yourself to death at the M&K. Morning, noon & night, so it seemed. I did the same at Manny's Den.

I hope you see this message, and reply back.

Meteor man - Dee Dee Jackson

Posted by: pkmatchbox | Jun 02, 06 | 2:32 am

A lot of songs that you have mentioned DJ FrankeeeCee are dance music songs not disco.

For example, <I Can't Wait> by Nu Shooz and <Two Of Hearts> by Stacy Q were release around 1985 if I'm not mistaken.

As for <Din Daa Daa> by George Kranz, EXCELLENT SONG, but then again, not disco but dance music.

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Jun 02, 06 | 6:11 am

"Im Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking" by The Supremes

Posted by: Walt | Jun 03, 06 | 3:25 am

I'm sorry,
Just what technically is it about those 2 songs that makes them
NOT DISCO? You'll have to explain that one to me. They were played
at every single club that I went to.
The Artists did produce other disco songs. Edwin star was a rock star
why is his song on ther list as a disco song? Bryan Adams was a rock & pop star also. Can you explain the technicalities behind your claim. You also said "many"
are not disco but only named two.
Were's the many?? And what does the year 1985 have to do with
with anything? I'm just not following you.

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 03, 06 | 2:33 pm

First of all,

I didn't say many I said "a lot". And if you want me to name them all it's all good!

Two Of Hearts
Din Daa Daa
Don't Go
Come Go With Me
Forget Me Nots
I Can't Wait
I O U
In My House

And maybe a few others...

Now what do these songs all have in common? They ALL came out after 1980, the year which disco was officially pronounced dead! And as I mentionned, after 1980 it's all dance music (which by the way doesn't mean that dance music songs were not played at every single club...).

Merci, Bonsoir!

P.-S.

Edwin Starr = Contact + H.a.p.p.y. Radio = 1978-79 = DISCO!
Bryan Adams = Let Me Take You Dancin' = 1979 = DISCO!

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Jun 03, 06 | 3:26 pm

Thank you sooo much! You brought me back to the good old days. That was when music was music and clubs were clubs. I miss getting decked out and hustling. So many straight and gay clubs to go to. Everyone dressed to the 9s and knew how to dance. I am so glad to be an old head. Today's generation just don't get what going out to a club means. Our generation did. Thank you so much for keeping the dance generation alive and kickin. Believe it or not I still hustle. The disco era needs to make a comeback, but unfortunately it won't. But we still can have our memories and that no one can take away from us. So, here's to you and all of our disco generation fans both dead and alive. Keep On Dancing!! God Bless You Always & Forever!!!

Posted by: Double G | Jun 04, 06 | 1:42 am

Sorry,
I don't abide by your analysis.
Adams had only 1 dance tune
1 dance tune=NOT DISCO
IMO Starr only had 1 decent
club song. "contact". That's it.
The others were not memorable and
not played very often in the one place where Disco was the most appreciated, NY City. If they weren't playing there, it was worth
being played. Sorry, that's truth.

#2 Just cause some middle America "Stoners" said that "Disco
was Dead..." doesn't and didn't make it so,...not just for me but many other too. So I don't recognize your criteria of that date or year being an official end to Disco. If that were the end then
what the he11 was Madona doing?
And don't say pop, because i won't stand for that rubbish.

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 04, 06 | 7:29 am

BTW,
The criteria for what is Disco,...
should be based on what "crowd"
the particular tune was being aimed AT! (by the artist) If you don't want to make a Disco song
then don't make one that plays like one.

Contact was a disco song true, BUT I don't feel the artist was a firm disco artist. WAR was more like hard rock. That was Star's other big hit.

Any songs into the 80s that were
aimed at the "Disco crowd" were made that way on purpose. Except for some punk which occassionally found its way into the Disco clubs and crossed over.
If Din Da Da was not a Disco tune,... make me laugh and tell me what you think it was? In the USA we called it Disco.
Stop grabbing at straws.

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 04, 06 | 7:45 am

I didn't say that the artists that you named at the beginning were or were not disco artists. All I said was that some of the SONGS by those artists are not disco songs but dance music songs.

When I mentionned that "Bryan Adams = Let Me Take You Dancin' = 1979 = DISCO!", I meant that "Let Me Take You Dancin'" was a disco song, not that Bryan Adams was a disco artist. Same thing with Edwin Starr, get the point!

B.T.W., Montr�al was and is still known as the world capital of disco music and "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio" was a hit here in MTL, not as much as "Contact", true, but still, it was a hit.

Finaly, "Din Daa Daa" is an EXCELLENT SONG as I mentionned, but then again, it is DANCE MUSIC, not disco.

Regards.

P.-S. To answer your question, Madona was doing DANCE MUSIC, just like the Pet Shop Boys, Dead Or Alive, The Thompson Twins, Hall And Oates, Propaganda, Prince, Platinum Blondes, ABC, Gazebo, New Order, Men Without Hats, Sheila E., YAZ, Duran Duran, Colonel Abrams, The Weather Girls etc...

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Jun 04, 06 | 2:37 pm

>>Finaly, "Din Daa Daa" is an >>EXCELLENT SONG as I >>mentionned, but then again, it >>is DANCE MUSIC, not disco.

This is the second time I am now asking you because you ditched the first time,...Just what type of music do you claim Din Da Da to
actually be? Are you ready to enlighten us yet? Is it rock? Is it New Wave? Punk? Pop? Well...?

>>I didn't say that the artists that >>you named at the beginning >>were or were not disco artists. >>All I said was that some of the >>SONGS by those artists are not >>disco songs but dance music >>songs.

Again,...You have not explained
your "technical" criteria for what makes these tunes NOT Disco.
You only repeat yourself.
So I am now repeating this question also. You are confusing me, and perhaps you are confused yourself.

I guess that's just a
difference between how music is viewed by Americans verses Canadians.
BTW most of the disco producers ARE NY firms. Canadian artists and producers are only resonsible for a
small percentage of Disco tunes.
You are aware of this,..I hope?

Montreal may be the capital of Disco as far as Canadians go,..
but NY is the international mecca
of Disco.

Some capital of Disco Montreal is,..
all the strugling Canadian artists came to USA and NY to MAKE IT BIG!!

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 04, 06 | 4:08 pm

The only reason why I am repeating myself is because you seem to have a severe understanding problem...I could tell you 1000 times that <Din Daa Daa> is DANCE MUSIC but still, you wouldn't understand...

So enough with this! You can think that <House Nation>, <Pump Up The Volume> and <Unison> by C�line Dion is also disco if it please you, it's all good with me!

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Jun 04, 06 | 6:08 pm

That's it I give up.
"Dance Music" is not a recognised
music catagory where I come from.
I've also never heard any Radio DJ
use that term on U.S. radio,..hence
I don't believe it is an official music genre.
If someone said the words "dance music" around here everyone would think Disco. In other words
they are assumed to be one and the same here. We're obviously
not from the same place.

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 05, 06 | 3:55 pm

BTW, you never did explain what is it about those songs which you call "dance music" that makes them technically NOT DISCO?

I'm guessing that you have no meaningful answer or you would have said it already, as this is the 3rd time I've brought it up. I hope that you are not going to claim that everything after the artificial death of disco with a dance beat can't be called Disco. That date is not officially recognized

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 05, 06 | 4:07 pm

Well maybe the category "Dance Music" does not exist in the States...

But it is known that Disco died in 1980, I'm not making it, as a former Disco deejay I'm surprise that you are not aware of that (it's even mentionned in the film <Studio54>).

In 1980, New Wave arrived while Disco was losing popularity. Then came Neo-Romantic (remember Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, ABC etc...). Then it was Dance, every artist was doing Dance (James Brown, Tom Jones, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger etc...).

Then, around 1985-86, House Music was THE music heard in the clubs (Adonis, Chip E., Farley Jackmasterfunk, Ron Hardy etc...)

After that, Acid House and Techno begin popular and so on and so forth...

Finaly, all the club music that came out after 1980 which was not either New Wave, Neo Romantic, Pop, House or Rap was consider Dance NOT Disco.

If I follow your logic, Samantha Fox, The Thompson Twins and Rick Asley's music is probably Disco...which makes absolutally no sense whatsoever...

Disco=1974-1980!
That's it!
Which doesn't make it a bad thing (I LOVE DISCO myself! It's the music that I listen to most of the time!).

But can Dance songs of 1982-83-84 etc can be label Disco songs??? Give me a break!!!

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Jun 05, 06 | 5:59 pm

Great list. Disco lives in 2006, thanks to remixers Freemason and others. I don't believe disco ever died. Rock and roll is still around, but like everything else there are always changes.

Posted by: Glenn | Jun 06, 06 | 11:08 am

So,...lets ask all those Disco Artists
that continued to produce Disco hits beyond that date if they realize that THEY were no longer disco artists and no longer producing disco BECAUSE IT WAS
Unofficially declared DEAD!!??
I don't think so. Disco took on a different sound, but it was not dead. It morphed.

One song I didint see mentioned here is a very tough one to get but I managed to get ahold of it.."Janice"...Skip Mahoney & The Casuals- Got to bring back memories of the Ol' Mad Hatter Days in Boston!!

Posted by: DJCHUCKYC | Jun 14, 06 | 7:30 pm

Hi CAT,

At the top of your list is "Bye Love". That can only be the one and only Vinnie Peruzzi classic encore by 5000 Volts...right song?? I played it every sat night at 2 to finish up the club gigs..CLASSIC

Posted by: djchuckyc | Jun 14, 06 | 7:35 pm

Yes, i was an avid hustle dancer in NYC - so i'm looking for the songs they played mostly in the clubs - here's a few more hustle oldies:

Find my way - cameo
la la la peach song - o.c. smith
sun sun sun
Dance a little bit closer

i have a bunch of hte classics on my ipod and i close my eyes and i'm back in the era (even if just for a few minutes) those were the days

any body else have any other from those times - the rare disco club songs?

Posted by: cat | Jun 15, 06 | 8:42 am

Hey Sylvain, just thought I'd let you know,.......YOU are right !
It's all good Frankee Cee.
Sylvain knows what he's talking about ! Hell he probably was at "Regine's" in Montreal back in the day ! Peace !

Posted by: DJ Culla | Jun 16, 06 | 3:02 pm

Hey what's up DJ Culla!

Unfortunaly, I've never been to <Chez R�gine> since I was too young at the time. As a matter of fact, the first time I went to the Limelight and Studio55 was in late 1979 (I was 16 at the time). I wish I could have been to R�gine, Oz and Twelve34. Disco La Folie was also great as I was told.

Around 1978, I use to listen to <Live from the Limelight> and <Twelve34> on CJFM in my bed.

A couple of years later, I deejayed at Studio 1371, Le Pot Disco and L'�vasion 15-20 in Chateauguay.

Gardez l'feeling!

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Jun 16, 06 | 5:19 pm

great list, thanks much. Found a few great ones I had forgotten about - refuse to believe I'm getting older, music takes me back in the day - so many favorites - Honeymoon in Puerto Rico is one - great then and now its a great Samba!!

Posted by: Patrick | Jun 17, 06 | 5:27 pm

Oh yeah Sylvain !
Live from the Limelight. You probably saw me on top of one of the speakers all night at Studio55 !
Viens donc danser c'est magique....Chez Oz ! Those were the days! I used to sell all the 12"s at Discus on the West Island.
This is an awsome site guys.
Still lookin for Foxy's "Party Boys"
Peace !

Posted by: DJ Culla | Jun 18, 06 | 2:25 am

Sorry DJ Culla,
His experience in Canada is totally
different than ours in the USA.
So he's not right in America.
Even the songs in the "top 700"
list are far off the from the top 700
that would be selected in U.S. cities. ( just take a look at the songs that I listed above. There is a substancial amount that I listed which are NOT listed by this Canadian list.)
As I said,...Disco Artists did not
give up their titles just because of some artifically created date. They were still disco artists singing disco after that date, and I don't see what is so bad about that anyway.
Dance Music and Disco music is one and the same here in USA.
They both had funk and the beat.
Where is the difference?
Where is
"Heaven on the 7th Floor" in that
list?

Posted by: DJ FrankeeeCee | Jun 19, 06 | 2:25 am

Frankeee Cee,
Being from Montreal, like my esteemed friend Sylvain, I would have to agree with him. NOT that I am in total diasagreeement with you though. Different cities, different "labels" given to the music genre, ( by Radio stations and/or clubs) means different interpretations......that being said,
there WAS a change in the music style. Never the less guyz, it's still great ! I prefer mixing the disco/dance music to what's out there today. We were ( and still are) great cities as far as disco music etc is concerened.
Keep the faith.
You can't beat this music !
Peace !

Posted by: DJ Culla | Jun 23, 06 | 8:15 am

I don't know many of these songs -still seems like a good list except:

Crown Heights Affair - You Gave Me Love @ #637?

Something not right there.
Granted, tracks like "Dreamin' A Dream" didn't bode so well this side of the Alantic - just an observation

Posted by: Disco Dave | Jul 04, 06 | 12:22 am

WOW, how awesome!!!

Looking for a disco song by Frankie Vallie and Four Seasons - used to love it - danced to it regularly in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - can't remember the name of it.

Posted by: Daryl Elizabeth Cosgrove | Jul 04, 06 | 5:05 am

hello to all... 1979 was the peak of the disco music. how i wish that this year, 2006 would come out and revive AGAIN the disco music. how i wish that the songs of those greatest disco queens like Donna Summer, Roberta Kelly, Tina Charles, Anita Ward,lipps inc, kool and the Gang, linda johnson will again hear and play on the radio.

Posted by: ronnie rosal remudo | Jul 07, 06 | 1:07 am

Great list, but Company B and "Together in Electric Dreams"? What up? Let's leave the '80s out of this pretty list.

Posted by: Simone | Jul 17, 06 | 10:34 am

No offense to anyone, but George Kranz is not disco. Call it what you want, if that makes you happy.

Posted by: Vale | Jul 17, 06 | 10:49 am

i think the list is great however 700 is not going to cover all.many of my favorites were not there like frontline orchestra's, don't turn your back, lamont dozier's back to my roots and klein and mbo dirty talk. i hope they all qualify as disco there seems to be some disagreement in qualification among some people.and please let's not forget capricorn's i need love.

What about "Don't Stop the Train" by Phyllis Nelson?!?

Posted by: jetzet | Aug 10, 06 | 2:13 pm

Soy un apasionado de la musica disco y quiero comentarles que la lista de las 700 canciones disco esta muy bien aunque pienso que algunas buenas canciones deberian estar mas arriba y otras mas abajo.

Posted by: Juan Cadena | Aug 12, 06 | 12:44 am

Still a great list.

Posted by: MarkyMark | Aug 14, 06 | 9:58 am

Great List! I'm 43 and was not old enough to get in to the "disco" til after it went away. But a couple of the clubs I went to in the early 80's were still playing these excellent songs!

Now I'm trying to find some of my faves...anyone remember "Love Is the Drug (That I'm In Need Of)"? Also, in the 1979 TV-movie "Topper" with Kate Jackson there was a wonderful disco version of "Blue Skies"...any clues as to who recorded that or where I can track it down?

Thanks for your help and the great memories!

Posted by: Seany | Aug 18, 06 | 5:25 am

What about The Spinners version of "Working My Way Back To You Babe"? A great song in my opinion.

Posted by: Minime | Aug 19, 06 | 11:16 pm

Seany,
I believe you are either looking for , "your love is the drug" by Ronni Griffith, or maybe "Love is the drug" by "Roxy Music"
Peace.

Posted by: DJ Culla | Aug 23, 06 | 9:33 am

Minime

"Working my way back to you"
and
"Cupid..."
by the Spinners got heavy play at
the clubs in the states. These folks
will probably tell you the tunes aren't
disco even though the Spinners did
put out many early disco tunes.

Posted by: DJ Frankee Cee | Aug 27, 06 | 6:02 pm

LOL DJ Frankee Cee !

"Working my way back to you" and "Cupid" were released in 1980 if I'm not mistaken. You can call them both dance or disco, it's all good! No need for a debate here, unlike for George Kranz's "Din Daa Daa"...

BTW
I can't even believe that there are
NO SONGS BY CHANGE,.. in that goofey
list! Next thing you know some loon
will tell me that they weren't Disco!

Probably the best way to create such a list would be to put out as many if not every disco tune and then pick from there. I say this because there must
be a memory problem going on. Many of
the songs that I listed previously
were excellent Disco tunes, but were not remembered. How come? Don't give me
that not Disco crap either. If a group
made Disco tunes and the next day
was the UN-official end of the disco
tune era,.. that doen't mean all that
same groups following tunes were no
longer Dicso!

Posted by: DJ Frankee Cee | Sep 09, 06 | 3:42 am

BTW Again,
You haven't even ONE Tavares song
on this so-called "best disco songs"
list. Lame.

Go ahead and tell me why.
What's the excuse going to be?
I need a good laugh.

Posted by: DJ Frankee Cee | Sep 09, 06 | 3:48 am

Good point!

"A Lovers Holiday", "Searchin'" & "Paradise" by Change, EXCELLENT!

"Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" was also a great song by Tavares.

Lots of songs aren't on this list, don't get carried away for that matter... LOL

Posted by: Sylvain Viger | Sep 09, 06 | 9:05 am

how about "never let go" by eastbound expressway

Posted by: Lionel | Sep 27, 06 | 6:31 am

I LOVED this list. I have been looking for a list like this for yrs. Kudos on including my favorite disco song HOT SHOT by Karen Young!!
I noticed one of my favorite disco groups is missing - i cant remember the full name. It was "Dr....the savannah band" Does anyone remember their full name? Their songs included Sunshowers, Cest Le Femme etc...

Posted by: Khaled | Oct 05, 06 | 9:51 am

Okay, pardon me, but someone has to say this. This is a *very* sloppy list. At least half of the songs on the list are not true disco. Listen, people. There is a specific musical definition of what is disco and what is *not* disco. Disco has a specific rhythm and swing to it. There was plenty of true disco in the '70s, and plenty of dance music in the '70s that simply was NOT disco at all, but R&B, Soul, Pop, Pop/Rock, etc. There were several main musical forms at that time, probably more than during any other decade. People who actually lived and weren't just little children during that time and who know something about musical form know that most of what is real disco didn't happen until at least '76, and most ended by '82. Much music was cross-over between forms. I happen to care to get such lists of songs correctly categorized, because I like disco more than most of the other categories, though they are all danceable. Most of Abba's stuff is real disco, for instance, because those were the rhythms that they played. Kiss, however, was almost never heard playing disco. Most people in rock would not play it and ridiculed it. Yes, the Jacksons did do lots of disco. Prince, however, almost never did disco ("1999" is an exception, and even it only borders on disco, though if you want to consider it such, it is one of the greats of that genre). Such songs as "Erotic City", which is a great piece of music, has funk/rock rhythm, *not* disco. I guess most people here just want to melange everything from the '70s (and *'80s*, if you want to include "Erotic City") together. I am sorry. I remember *well* the '70s (I am 50). "Heart Of Glass" only borders on disco. Come on, listen in your mind. You'll hear the distinctive disco swing beat in "The Hustle", "Take A Chance On Me", "Y.M.C.A.", "I Love The Night Life", "I Will Survive", "More Than A Woman", "Hot Stuff, even "Disco Duck", but "We Are Family", by Sister Sledge is pushing it. It swings, but it doesn't have that characteristic disco rhythm. It's great R&B/pop dance music, but there are definitions to these things. Now, I admit I'm not a musical expert, but ask any real musician and they'll tell you that all the dance music you have been listing are from different musical forms. I happen to like the disco swing rhythm. I am sorry to say that most DJs and others who consider themselves experts, and especially ones who feel that they should be considered influential and important are not the best judges of what is and what is not disco music. They have too much hubris and pride, and they want their pet songs included though they themselves know that what they are putting down is not true disco.
It is like asking published movie critics what are the best movies of all time. They will usually list some effete art films that most people don't see, and wouldn't like if they did see them. The most mainstream they get is Citizen Kane, which is an overrated and overblown movie, rather boring, and one doesn't really ever care about the characters. Movies that they pan on, such as my personal favorite "Somebody Up There Likes Me" are the ones that make us stand up and cheer and also cry at the same time. The same is true of music. Don't ask a D.J., ask an unbiased person who is not in a position to influence others or be helped or harmed by what answer they give. We, the little people, know what is best, and we, the people who were there at the time know what was disco and what was "Mr. Big Stuff" (good song, but *not* disco -- it's R&B).

Okay. I've taken my shot. Now, tear me up if you wish to do so. I won't respond.

Posted by: TsaLaGiCelt | Oct 08, 06 | 9:05 am

Hey TsaLaGiCelt,
No one is going to rip you. You bring up some good points. There are songs in this list, and in lists posted that can be considered other than disco simply because of the "time frame". However, the 700 list seems to me a pretty accurate compilation of what was hot and was spun around different clubs. You have to remember though that demographics played a key role in what clubs played. Just look at the posts between Sylvain and Frankee Cee. For the most part they agree but what one city calls hot, another doesn't. You have to take into account also that technology changed the music sound also. You mentioned Blondie's "Heart of Glass". True I personally would not call this "disco" per say, because it had none of the "orchestral backgrounds" that disco music at that time had. ( ie: the "Casablanca records feel") But, it was a great song to dance to and mix for DJs. You have to remember that "radio-play" also influenced what people thought or perceived was "disco" as opposed to R&B or disco-funk etc. One might even associate a song that came out with the clothing style at the time and automatically label the song as "disco" ( polyester) or "dance" ( 80's).
No matter what. a big THANK YOU goes out to all who have created this site, and contributed to it. We all basically agree that this music is THE music. I, ( and Sylvain, see other posts) were lucky enough to live in a city that not only had tons of clubs, but also had specific radio staions that catered to this music. Many radio stations, both French and English aired live from clubs and we had a hard time deciding which one to listen to.
Ladies and Gents, keep your posts coming. It's good to see an old tune or obscure tune resurface and bring back so many memories.
Peace all, and in the words of Gary's Gang....Keep on Dancing.
DJ Culla.

Posted by: DJ Culla | Oct 09, 06 | 3:27 am

Blonde tunes were excellent to hustle
to, whatever the particular step.
However Blonde was a Punk Rock group.
Rapture, Heart of Glass and Call Me
were heavily played in Disco Clubs, but
in nearly all Blonde's other songs you
can hear the Punk. Amazing though how
many KTEL Disco compilations contained Blonde hits. KTEL was a bit whacked out
anyway because I have a tape by KTEL
called "Pure Disco" and it has
Baby Hold On by Eddie Money, which we
are pretty sure is NOT Disco.

I've been a DJ since 1982, so thanks to you all for refreshing my memory. Suprised to see TaTa Vega on the disco 700 list. She was at our church sining some sweet gospel traxx!! (summer 2006)

She told us about her past, but not about the disco stuff!! LOL!!!

If you wanna holla at her it's tatavega.com

BTW she also sung the Shug Averey traxx on the movie Color Purple.

May God Bless U All!!!!!!!
Always put our creator first, thank him for your talents, & stay in the mix!

Cant find any french balads that were played in the late 70's...Tu TEN Va or something close also a song that had the countdown of 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 in it.

Posted by: Michael Fall | Nov 28, 06 | 6:20 pm

"Hong Kong New York ou Amsterdam, la vie la mort �a continue..." Good one heronymus!

Michael Fall, maybe the french song that you talk about is "Vol De Nuit" by C�line Lomez of something from Dalida!

As for the countdown one, I can't think of another song but "Instant Replay" by the late Dan Hartman.

Like it or not "Disco Duck" was actually
a disco tune. In fact it was the only song featured in the Saturday Night Fever movie which Rhino did not put
onto the sound track album. It should have been in there on that album

"Disco Duck", by Rick Dees or by Paul Vincent is OF COURSE a disco song. Quite evident.

"I Will Survive also"... :p
