Which are your favorite disco songs?

[Junge]

This are mine, but not in order:

Dan I -Monkey chop
Love Unlimited- High Steppin' Hip dressin'
Chic-Good Times
KC and the Sunshineband-Get down tonight
Brothers Johnson-Stomp
Gwen Guthrie-Aint nothing going on but the rent (this song rules!)
Odyssey-Going back to my roots
Peoples Choice-Jam Jam Jam
Yarbrough and Peoples- Dont stop the music (this also)
Jimmy Bo Horne- Dance across the floor

What do u guys think about the list? Maybe u like some and some not. I like them all.

[Disco Funk]

Never heard of these guys. Are they from the 70s? :)

I'm more into Philly disco stuff, so anything produced by guys like Gamble & Huff, Norman Harris, Bunny Sigler, Dexter Wansel, etc... is right up my alley.

Disco Funk

[Noman]

My kids, born in the early 90's do like "Dan I -Monkey chop" a lot.

If we should judge from the taste of the new generation that one is a "classic"

[qdearl]

I like "The beat goes on" with whispers. But that song with Patrice Rushen i have never heard.I have only heard "Forget me nots" with Patrice. That Fresh prince took in his song.

Lol, funny you should mention that,

Kirk Franklin is running around with THIS song sampled for his latest hit "Looking For You"

As Patrice's hook goes....

"I've Been Lookin' for You....
Haven't you Heard!"
And they did a pretty good job, I like the song.

BTW - I found I had the Love Unlimited LP with High Steppin' Hip Dressin'... on it, I had never listened to it before, that's a Hot tune! thanks for "hipping" me to it. lol
