It should start with 1971's THEME FROM SHAFT by Isaac Hayes, of course. :D
I remember this topic coming up about the 1st disco song w/vocals and someone was saying it was the O'jays...with"ONE NIGHT AFFAIR" what about the Instrumentals..like " POPCORN" or "JUNGLE FEVER" or DEODATO'S "ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA"...Iam Makin my ultimate Disco Collection on Cds... from all mycollection of Disco Cds.How Should I start It? I was thinking about DEODATO's 2001 ODYSSEY aka ALSO SPRACH...Or Let me not forget "SOUL MAKOOSA" and "TSOP"...BY MFSB

HMMMM...I like That one Thats a great one..I wll keep that one in mind.thanks
If chronological, how about starting with pre-disco/northern soul and do a volume 1/2 like Rhino did for their In Your Face: History of Funk series.
Be sure to throw in some Archie Bell and the Drells on Atlantic and plenty of wah-wah funk tracks with heavy orchestrations like Curtis Mayfield's Superfly.
