I've always enjoyed listening to The Player. I'm not too crazy about the second half of the song, where it's just hi-hat and bass-drum (the Norman Harris touch). But the first half is pure disco fire.
My runner up at this point is Breakaway from 1980. I just love the feel of the song, and the sound of the fender rhodes at the front of the mix.
Disco Funk
"Love and Happiness" and "Armed and Extremely Dangerous"
Doctor Love!:icon_biggrin:
I love Rochelles voice !
For me it's 'Armed and Extremely Dangerous' because it's the whole package. Runners up would be 'Hold Your Horses' , 'This Is the House Where Love Died', 'Newsy Neighbours', 'Double Cross, 'Let Me Down Easy' and 'Runnin' Out Of Fools'. :icon_mrgreen:
It has to be 'Armed & Extremely Dangerous' for me closely followed by 'Love Thang'. I'm really surprised that nobody's mentioned 'Let No Man Put Asunder', maybe people are sick of hearing samples of it!![]()
...ya gotta beat the street......
I do like 'Armed & Extremely Dangerous' but my favourite is 'Let No Man Put Asunder'.

Being a true First Choice fan can't pick one so I would have to say:
Let's Us Entertain You
Doctor Love
Hold Your Horses
The Player
Armed And Extremely Dangerous
Smarty Pants
Love and Happiness
Great question because I can't choose! But if I am backed
up against the wall i'd say-
1)Doctor Love
2)Let No Man Put Asunder(Shep's Mix)
3)Double Cross
4)Love Thang,Hold Your Horses,Love Having You Around,Gotta Get Away,etc...
This is an impossible question.

A lot of good "Choice" s to pick from from these ladies...
I always enjoy playing the LET US ENTERTAIN YOU lp
DOCTOR LOVE an all time classic amongst classics ....
he ain't got no competition only he writes my prescription Dr. Love ! ...
( but what does she say after: I need a major operation .....sings something (?) .....for a broken heart......????
For me, one of the lesser knowns that I return to is GOTTA GET AWAY ... with its train imagery and the orchestra performing super tightly and sounding like its all aboard and going full steam ahead when they got together for this one ....

you'd still be waiting for me at the airport
while my ship was coming in
