Bullshit !! :p:p
.....and even James Brown wanted to be called the original discoman by 1979 !!! :p:p:p

however ...I do agree with you that it wasn't the artist that was "disco" .... it was the music itself ... each song ....and artists usually ran a range of styles .

This is an interesting thread but I don't want to split hairs. Where would you put something that's pure funk on the disco chart?

I can't put something that's pure funk on the disco chart..... because I can't put anything on the charts ... they are what they are . The disco DJ's from the actual disco era decided what was disco ....and they oughta know !!!!
So whatever funk songs made it ...there they are .... by Rick James , Ohio Players , Prince , Gap Band , James Brown ....the charts don't lie...8)

By the way ...who's Richard Rogers .....:roll::roll:

I just had another thought about this Eddie . Why don't you start a thread listing these asshole Quiet Storm/Soul type artists who thought being considered disco BITD was a "grave insult" ... :p:p:p:p ... I think that'd be most interesting .......

On the theme of soul singers putting Disco down,one of my favourite singers was quoted as " staying true to my roots" and not making a Disco record. Step forward Bobby Womack, didn't you record -I feel a groove coming on- and -Roads of life-you can't get any closer to disco than those 2 tracks.In the 70's a lot of artists tried Disco and i bet they had fun doing it.

NATURE ZONE IS MORE IN STYLE WITH THE SILVER CONVENTION THAN LOVE UNLIMITED, IMO.

CHECK OUT "BEST LOVE" BY ROSE ROYCE, LUO STRING ARRANGEMENTS ABOUND IN THE TRACK.

Well done "kid" !! :lol::lol::lol:
I'll bet Quinny's none too happy with that revelation !!! LOL :lol::lol:........................................ ........:lol:

What a great way to make one's point !!! (ain't the internet great !! )
I hope to one day be as sophisticated ....

I'd say PORCUPINE is Barry White meets the Silver Convention ... with the tilt toward the latter ....

discokid,

Now that's what I call making your point!!! Excellent juxtaposition of those 2 records!!! :D:D:D

[Disco Funk]

Porcupine definitely sounds like it took its cue from the Silver Convention, not Barry White.

Disco Funk

I hear Barry White in Porcupine ( the strings chased by the piano )
And since he predates The Silver Convention .... it makes common disco sense then that he was an influence on that sound .

And since we know that Isaac Hayes provided the blue print for the school of The Love Unlimited's sound........


well.......... watcha know ......

all disco roads lead to .........




Isaac Hayes !!!!8)8)
