Other disco tracks by these artists:

Chaka Khan - "Fate" (1981) ** Awesome track
Rufus and Chaka - "Body Heat" (1979)
Rufus and Chaka - "I'm Dancing For Your Love" (1979)
LaBelle - "Lady Marmalade" (1974)

Of course, Chaka's 1984 dance smash "I Feel for You" is also noteworthy.

Here's what I'd like to hear next:

Stargard - "Disco Rufus" (1977) - I assume this is some kind of medley of Rufus funk tracks discofied?

I love the Rufus and Chaka Masterjam album..it seems that's about as disco as they got..Chaka sounds like shes going through the motions at times, in her book she said she'd had it with Rufus by this time, so that's probably why.. but Quincy managed to get another great one out of 'em..

I have to add a couple of tracks from Chaka's awesome 1982 self-titled album:

"Tearin' It Up" (not my favorite, but I think Larry Levan did a mix of this)

"Best In The West" 8)

nah, it's actually an original song..nothing to do with Rufus the band.. they just go "get up, get up..disco rufus" the whole time.. it's mostly instrumental, but it's kinda fun tho

The 12" of 'Tearin' It Up' is an appalling record. 'Clouds' is a well-worn but still viable goodie. 'Close The Door' and 'Do You Love What You Feel' go down well, also.

Don't forget Chaka's biggest disco hit "I'm Every Woman", which was made into an even bigger disco hit by Whitney Houston back in 93'.

What about "Any Old Sunday"? Which I love, and I saw her on TV saying that she hated. :-?

Honorable mentions must go to Chaka's "What Cha Gonna Do For Me" (1981). You can't go wrong with stuff like "We Can Work it Out", "I Know You I Live You" & "Fate".
IMO it's the best solo LP she ever made!

I wholeheartedly disagree. Her first LP was her best.
She even does a duet with George Benson on it.

I'm so pleased nobody mentioned 'Aint Nobody' as I think this track is so over-rated; pleasant but nothing special IMO. I agree that 'Masterjam' from '79 is the usual Quincy Jones produced perfection though.

I always thought that


PASS IT ON (A SURE THING)


was pretty much a disco track from 1983.
