| Examples: Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe (Taylor Dayne) Turn The Beat Around (Gloria Estefan) I Will Survive (Diana Ross) Please Don't Go (K.W.S.) Which is your all time favorite disco cover song(s)? Also, which artist from any genre would you like to see cover a specific disco song? Personally, I thought Taylor Dayne did a good job of covering Alicia Bridges "I Love The Nightlife - Disco 'round" on The Disco Ball. They have similar styles in there voices. DevP |

| Al the covers you site are just straight copies of the original versions. What Gloria Estefan did on Turn The Beat Around was too similiar to the original, same as the Nu Yorican Soul stuff - if it was on the radio quietly in the background you wouldn't know it wasn't the original. Pointless!!!! I'd like to hear someone do something that wasn't already a disco record in a modern disco style. I think the Andy Gibb ballad "Don't Throw it All Away Our Love" - could maybe be made into a good uptempo dance track.

| I know some very original cover versions that's worth mentioning here: Gwen Guthrie's version of the Carpenters "They long to be Close To You) from '86. Gives a good example of how truly innovative Gwen's work often were. She is sadly missed. Also, Guitarist Larry Carlton made a highly enjoyable jazz fusion workout out of "Knock On Wood" on his "Discovery" album (1987) |

| I remember in '89 there was a really good version of 'I Will survive' that was unrecognizable as it was sparse & dark deep house with male spoken vocals. I loved it, & it gave a totally new twist to this over-played classic! Trouble is, I can't remember who it was by. :-? I'm pretty sure it came from NYC.

| I just saw the cover photo of this guy on his 12", "Never Knew Love Like This Before". Farrah Fawcett hair (only dark), full makeup and jewelery and a 5 o'clock shadow :-? . (Strangely, he still looks good.) WHO WAS THIS GUY. Never heard of him until now. Anybody have info? It seems most of his songs were covers: I WILL SURVIVE IN THE BUSH IT'S MY PARTY NEVER KNEW LOVE LIKE THIS BEFORE TURN THE BEAT AROUND
