Bob Crewe Disco: Any Other Recommendations?

[Disco Funk]

So far, I know of the following tracks that Bob Crewe produced with his distinctive sound:

Frankie Valli - Swearin To God
Geri Granger - Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You/Hot To Trot
Bob Crewe Generation - Street Talk, 12" and LP
Jay Black - One Night Affair

What other artists would you recommend that Bob Crewe produced around the mid 70s with his brand of disco? I left Eleventh Hour (I think they were produced by BC) because they didn't have that sound, that I can recall.

Bob Crewe also produced Disco-Tex and His Sex-O-Lettes first lp.

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that LP too. Not my favorite dance album, by far. The Get Dancin' track is great, but the rest is just filler as far as I'm concerned. I know he was aiming for kitzchy, but it's a little too much. Like Moulin Rouge meets Cabaret.

I was looking more towards his 'opuses'. The ones I mention above, like I said, have that distinctive sound. Not only are they long, but they're just really big sounding, if that makes sense. I would probably call them pop-disco than soul or funk disco, if anything.

I think Bob Crewe is only associated by proxy on this one .....

Oh!! For some reason I thought he had a direct hand in the production. I'm not sure where I read that. If you listen to the song, it has the same feel as Swearin To God and his other productions, so that's why I didn't question it. I have the 12" myself, but never realized his name wasn't on it! Thanks for clearing that up, Remicks.

Maybe this track falls under the 'school of Bob Crewe', like that thread you started about songs that sound like Love Unlimited Orch....

Well we know that many a times people will contribute to projects without any official credit given . And with Randazzo and Frankie Valli being involved ... it stands to reason that Bob could've been around for this one too . I think doing what you do is best DF . Listen ... and in the music you hear the signs of someone's presence in the room. Of course it could be vice versa .... it could be that the musicians that worked on this Jay Black tune are the same ones typically utilized by Bob Crewe and maybe that's the familiarity being heard ...
