What do you think?
Is this considered Disco or what?

[Skywalker]

No comments, so I gues everybody agrees...

Btw, after seeing this video, I know now where Pillipe Rose from the Village People got his inspiration from....

I don't know if this is considered disco, but I saw an old episode of Soul Train a few weeks ago in which the song was featured. So, I guess it was Don Cornelius approved anyway, and the dancers on the show appeared to have a good time dancing to it.

I always thought of this song as light pop rock.

But I always liked it.

Never heard it in a disco, but at a 70's reunion party.........ahhhhhh.

[discokicks]

I rather liked the Boystown Gang's disco cover of it!

[efunk_adelic]

excellent pop record with an excellent danceable beat. I also saw the Soul Train episode. You can tell that it fit into the mix of what they were playing.

Even EW&F did a cover of this song...!!

Real McCoy had a club hit with it in the 90's.

Oh that's right...remember that one too.

Jeeesh....thirty odd years of dance music....how do we keep track of it all?!?

I remember hearing in the Discos "Wovoka."

The Witch Queen Of New Orleans was one of their's that was played in early discos. Had a great dance beat for the time and sounded seriously different to anything else (except maybe Pacific Gas & Electric's - Are You Ready).

Wouldn't consider Come & Get It Disco.

Does this 1 work too?



OK, I'm posting the original as well, just in case I clearly remember this one being played to da maxx on the funfairs, when I was a very young boy! Not as the first Discofunk track coz' that was Jimmy Castor's "Troglodyte".

[QUINNY]

Redbone's Witch Queen was released waaay before Jimmy's Troglodite, so I can't figure how Trog was the first.

[Videoskooter]

No, what I was trying to say was that Redbone was indeed a very special (for me) poprecord that got me hooked. The earliest real Funk (maybe not so Disco) that I can recall was Troglodyte. That was some new sound on the funfairs over here (I'm not speaking about Discos coz in 1972 I was way too young (9) to go to clubs).

Just checked with my cousin who is about your age and he confirms this: Jimmy Castor was something else. That was a sound we weren't used to BITD, in Belgium, where even pop on the radio was rare Just picking up memories here. But Redbone was very popular in the charts. Jimmy wasn't, he was way to rough to be played on the radio.

Come and Get Your Love is/was an awesome pop song. I wouldn't call it disco but it's one in my collection I still listen to from time to time.
