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;
Good work all. I've been looking for a list such as this for a while. I didn't see the Weather Girls (Just Us).
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
Outlaw / War
Bad Boys / Wham
Girls are back in town / Risque
Freakin' unbelievable. hahahaha I can't stop laughing with joy at these titles. How you've made my day!!! LilDisco56
GREAT ERA, GREAT MUSICIANS, GREAT TUNES...GREAT VIBES!
It´s good to read that list and remember each song, each moment...
Long life to Disco Lovers!
DJ MARCELO ALVES - BRAZIL
i cant believe you fogot songs like:
body to body by GEPY & GEPY
african love song by GEPY & GEPY
in the pocket by AFRICAN SUITE
love magic by JOHN DAVIS & THE MONTER ORCHESTRA
im ready by KANO
i cant help myself by BONNIE POINTER
out of time by SUPERSEMPFFT
im free by RAY MARTINEZ OR CELI BEE
agent 406 by LIME
i´ll be yours by LIME
and many,many more
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!
Paul Lewis - a.k.a. Judydoggie
cest une liste parfait - etun plaisir poulr lire!
merci
No Paul Parker? And where's Jump - Pointer Sisters? And Abba -The Visitors? my my!
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.
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!
Many memories...and still better than today's fodder - my desert island disco -

Hi there could you tell me if i'm mistaking but isn't Leif Garrett's song I was made for dancing not in list at all because i think it deserves a placing
Alex
I never imagine than you would have a very special list like this one, but you forgot
Count to ten,THE SIMON ORCHESTRA
Disco Dan,FAITH HOPE AND CHARITY
Music Man.REVANCHE
I`m a man.MACHO
Keep on dancing.GARY`S GANG
, but you made a great work, Sorry for my english because I`m a Mexican
good songs but forgot' this good 80's tune A.K.A.BAND.grace
what about the all time great dr buzzards original savannh band cher chez le femme and pow wow by cory daye
There are certain songs that cannot and will not be equalled..these are:
Dont Leave Me This Way-Thelma Houston
Dont You Want My Love-Debbie Jacobs
I Need Somebody-Debbie Jacobs
Shame-Eveyn King
Never Can Say Goodbye-Gloria Gaynor
Coming Out Of Hiding-Pamala Stanley
I Like You-Phylliss Nelson
Searchin-Hazzell Dean
Dancin-Grey and Hanks
This Is It-Melba Moore
In my oprionion these records are timeless and untouchable.
"#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.
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... Dreamin a dream Crown Heights Affair, I have tons more all original pressings.
Rah Band - Electrin' Flying
L.Dozier - Going back to my roots
....?????...........Blondie? Rockets? and 1000 other
Anybody Wanna Party Down Tonight? - Gloria Gaynor
Designer Music - Lipps Inc.
Oh I forgot. Jump To It - Aretha Franklin
A great site. A huge hit on the dancefloors of Sydney's gay scene in this period is noteworthy of mention. Rozalin Woods "Whatch gonna do about it"
Sorry, spelling error in my previous posting. It should read "Whatcha gonna do about it"
Here's another: Harmony - Suzy Lane
And another: Captain Boogie - Wardell Piper
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.
Stuff Like That - Quincy Jones (Featuring Chaka Khan)
Great list . Lots of Cerrone --- but not "Trippin' On The Moon " ? ---- also maybe I missed it ...long list ... but "Deputy Of Love" ?
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!
some songs are listed a few times . Do duplicates count in your "700"
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
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!
my personal list:
1. Love in C Minor
2. Souvenirs
3. Saturday Night Fever
4. Love Hangover
5. You Should be Dancing
ok
that was the kinda music I couldn not buy because on the same week I`heard it was demodeè.tons and tons of these music invaded my country by late 70's .now I`ve realized I wuz touched by the hands of god. radio played all the time disco hits. my personal list below:
love rush/ann margret
love magic/john davis and the monster orchestra
you and I / delegation
you are my magician / Lime
here`s to you/ sky
boogie with me/ poussez
angel in the pocket/change
sexy thing/bob mc gilpin

jump to the beat/stacey lattisaw
mandolay/la flavour
souvenirs/voyage
take your time/sos band
best era of my life, flashlights,white lines

Thanks,
DJ
I meant shouldnt be that low--duh!!
Where is "Love Magic" by John Davis & The Monster Orchestra? Love that track.
But a great list. Of course my list would have (in no particular order):
"Take Your Time" by the SOS Band
"Stomp" by the Brothers Johnson
"Dancing Queen" ABBA
"I Want Your Love" Chic
"Don't Stop To You Get Enough" Michael Jackson
"Got to be Real" Cheryl Lynne
"You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" Sylvester (the legend)

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 :-)))
Saturday Night - Arpeggio
Magic Combo - The African Magic Combo
OK Chicago - Resonant
bridge Over Troubled Water - Linda Clifford
Mafia - Floyd Parks(?)
and many more! I heve not enough time to write a complete list.
valarauka
Still amazed at this site. Loved reading all the titles I danced to. 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
valarauka
THESE ARE A FEW FAVS..

DJChristopher
This is a wide selection of all time disco songs. Some of them more "disco" than the others, but there are music for all tastes. Thank you for posting this large variety of songs. It's helpfully for collectors.
I cannot beleive that You've omited:
San Salvador - Azoto
Star - Sylvester
macho man - celibee
la isla bonita - madonna
Viola Vills -gonna get along you now
Excellent list, you made me remember my times when disco music was king.
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.
And what about wonderful Karen Cheryl's songs ? They must be part of the disco charts.
Remember Sing to me Mama, Sweet Melody, Show me you're man enough, Tchoo tchoo hold on the line ...
I THINK DONNA SUMMER IS THE UNDISPUTABLE QUEEN OF DISCO... NOT TO MENTION HER ALBUM,, BAD GIRL, HOT STUFF, TRY ME I KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT, THE WANDERER, COULD IT BE MAGIC...
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.
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"
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.
DJ LAURIE C

Great page, great chart!!!!
But, these songs also are huge!!!
You're too Late -Fantasy
Gimme More -Veronica Unlimited
Boogie With Me -Possez
Sorry for my poor english
Your list is fantastic... But here is my short list!
Some tracks are not on your list but are great!
1. Try My Love - Deniece Lasalle
2. Pow Wow - Corye Daye
3. True Love Is My Destiny - James Wells
4. I Can't Stop my Feet - Jimmy James
5. Number One Dee Jay - Goody Goody
6. The Break - Katmandu
7. A Lover's Holiday - Change
8. You & I - Delegation
9. Native New Yorker - Odyssey
10. Love Rescue - Project
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
16. In the bottle- Gil scot Heron
17. Rock the Boat- Hughes Corp.
18. Dirty ol man- 3 Degrees
19. Stop and think- Tramps
20. The love I lost- Harold melvin & the Bluenotes
There are more but these are my favorites. We cannot forget the early DJ's who worked around the clubs nthe early 70's. My 2 favorite's were Paul Cassella , and Johnny Ace. they played mostly in the Queens clubs.
Regards everyone
Frank
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.
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!!!
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."
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!
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 !
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!
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?
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?
Great List, but one of my all time favs is Sharon Brown's "I Specialize In Love." Ahhh.. what memories.
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.
La Bionda
Falco
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
Jean Paul,
You are so right !
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" .........
I'm 42 years old. I love disco music, because i was a teenager between 1976 and 1981. Now i tried to get some themes that i never could have in my personal discotheque.
I believe the bests are:
01.- Knock on wood - Amii Stewart
02.- Born to be alive - Patrick Hernandez
03.- Utopia/me Giorgio - Giorgio Moroder
04.- I can´t stand the rain - Eruption
05.- Stormy weather - Viola Wills
06.- Don`t leave me this way - Thelma
Houston
07.- I feel love - Donna Summer
08.- I don`t wanna lose your love - The
Emotions
09.- Are you satisfied? - Linda & the
Funky Boys
10.- Do you have the force? - Droids
11.- Everybody dance - Chic
12.- Good Times - Chic
13.- One love in my lifetime - Diana Ross
14.- Never can say goodbye - G. Gaynor
15.- Let's make a deal - Gloria Gaynor
16.- Dr. kiss kiss - 5000 volts
17.- Turn the beat around - Vicky Sue
Robinson
18.- Gadda da vida - Boney M.
... and many others
Wow!!!
Le 5 à 8!
Either with the late Alain Montpetit (CKMF) or Michel Jasmin (CIEL), it was a delight! Not 2 mention Douglas Coco Léopold.
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 clientèle. Also, I will never forget Studio55 right beside Peel métro, <Chez Régine> 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 "dérivé" 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!

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 !

New to the site, but my three fav Disco songs are:
East to West
Vertigo/Relight My Fire
Come to Me (Jolie)
My fax clubs were the Chez in AC, Emerald City and Valentinos in Cherry Hill.
Im 22 and a DJ. Imagine peoples faces when i play things like S.O.S band, Luther Vandross, and Alexander O'Neil.
Heres my faves.
Phyllis Hyman- You Know how to love me (12")
Luther Vandross (Legend)- Never Too Much
Alexander O'Neil and Cherelle - Saturday Love
5000 Volts- Im on Fire
Lou Rawls- You'll never find
Gary Byrd ft Stevie Wonder- The Crown
The Trammps- Hold Back The Night
Heatwave- Always and Forever
Rose Royce- Wishing On A Star
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 !!!
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!
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! :-) )
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)
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.
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.
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........
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.
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
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
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 !!
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!
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
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!
For Christmas, my wife got me the two soundtrack CDs for the movie "54". Best collection of dsico songs ever.
Highly recoomed for diehards.
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
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.
And as for the list only about 200 songs belong there if that.
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.
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!!!!
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
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!!
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
BUSTIN LOOSE: CHUCK BROWN AND THE SOUL SEARCHERS
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
SET OFF: STRAFE
DO YOU WANT TO FUNK: SLYVESTER
GROOVE LINE: HEATWAVE
ANYTHING BY EARTH WIND & FIRE
THIS LIST COULD KEEP GOING ON ALL NIGHT SO I STOP HERE AND GIVE YOU A BREAK FOR NOW!
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
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
Boystown Gang/Remember Me
Originals/Down to Love Town
Eddie Kendricks/Goin' Up In Smoke
Loleatta Halloway/Greatest Performance of my Life

Hi Randy!
I live in Montréal 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.
Montréal 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
