OK of course the original :
290) FIRE- Ohio Players
(Mercury) D= 2; E = 12; Total points - 14
2 weeks on the chart (1/25; 5/24/75); Peak: #19
(1974-75 Year End Disco Consensus Tabulation )
now I can think of two other disco versions of this same tune
(and if I can think of two .... that means there must be at least ten !!!:razz::razz:!!)
So ................what are they ????:-?:-?

This was one of my favorite tracks long ago, when I was really into Van McCoy's stuff.Originally Written by remicks
There's a track called "Fire", by Mantus, on their S/T album. Although this is a composition by Mantus, not a reorchestrated version of the Ohio Players' track, I thought I'd post it, if only to incite readers to listen to this pretty cool track. You might even like it and want to listen to the rest of the LP, then their other album, "Midnight Energy", it's really worth it.
