What a coïncidence, it hasn't almost been off my decks this week!

So many, so many, but a few that come to mind:

"Lovin' is Really My Game" - Brainstorm
"Lady, Lady, Lady" - Boogie Man Orchestra
"Once You Hit the Road" - Dionne Warwick
"Down, Down, Down" - Sylvester
"Mighty High" - Mighty Clouds of Joy

[Teddybear]

I guess I'm addicted to any 70s-90s dancing song, if I bump into the right mix or remix.

A few examples:

Moon Maiden or Catch Me On The Rebound, mixed with love by Walter Gibbons.
Larry Levan's Don't Make Me Wait or Double Cross.
Call Me by Blondie. The version found in the "Once More Into The Bleach" album is like cocaine to me (with only good secondary effects).

And all the early classical songs of the House Sound of Chicago.

When I share songs like these with very young people, they are pleasantly surprised to learn it's old music. But the BPM are too low for them!

[ITWASFUN]

Like most of us, I too have several, but if I must(and I will for the purpose of this exercise) choose 2, they are:

Loving is Really My Game - Brainstorm - Truly enjoyed and still do dancing to this because it was busy and gave one the ability to travel on the dancefloor. Additionally, it provided a break towards the end which created a sense of euphoria for the finale. I held court to this song @Xenon.


Running Away - Roy Ayers - very skippy and again provided the ability to travel with attitude. Onced danced w/Louise Ciccone @Danceteria-only to later realize whom she was in the pre-Fab Madge days.

[qdearl]

Like everybody else, I got a million of 'em,

But I'll take the 1st four off the top of my head

Hit & Run - Loleatta Holloway
Dancin' - Grey & Hanks
Caught up in a One Night Love Affair - Inner Life
Pick Me Up I'll Dance - Melba Moore

....and in my case, these definitely keep me on the floor at the Roller Rink!

[Dayna]

A few more that draw me to the floor like a moth to a flame........
Dont Wanna Lose Your Love-The Emotions
Crash Goes Love- .LOLEATTA HOLLOWAY
Got To Have Lovin-Don Ray
He's The Greatest Dancer-Sister Sledge
I'm Ready-Kano
The Pleasure Principle-Janet Jackson
Love Injection-Trussell
I Like You-Phyllis Nelson
A Night To Remember-Shalamar

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

Mmmm... I'm swayin', just thinkin' 'bout it!

Souveniers
I've Found Love...
I Should Be So Lucky
Hit 'N Run Lover
Nice and Slow (Jesse Green)
I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walkin'
My Sweet Summer Suite

Ya know... The list could just go on and on and on and on...
What a happy thought. Thanks Dayna! xoxo

You'll need a hurricane category 5 to get me moving.

"Sixty Thrills" reaches that level. Along with some of Bohannons tracks, War-You Got the Power and a few other great tracks.

I'll NEVER understand why You Got The Power wasn't a MUCH BIGGER record than it was. It's got the kinda groove that I find totally infectious. I'd challenge anyone to hear it and NOT wanna move 'n' shake.

YouTube - **Best Funk****War - You Got The Power

TURN IT UP!!!!

I don't know how it did in the UK but it was a SMASH hit here, charts and clubs, much more successful than the excellent "Galaxy".

Thankyou so much VS! I've had a horrible week & just had really bad news about a friend of mine & these tracks have really perked me up alot. That Cissy Houston track always transports me back to my innocent happy youth. The power of music!
