I didn't realise John Tropea made a disco record; I only know his jazz-fusion stuff. I know this record will be 'pure' disco as your lists always feature this particular type of disco music. Keep posting the lists Sirius 'cos I find them quite fascinating.
...ya gotta beat the street......
Haven't heard 21st Creation's "Tailgate" in a long while ...Now that was a gem I used to love! Good memories with that tune! :)
If it moves - funk it!!
Dear Steely Dan!
JOHN TROPEA´s "Livin In The Jungle" is a more slow fusion-
disco-track but nevertheless danceable...I like it!
Dear jazz_pilgrim!
Thank god, you are here again. The 12" of 21ST CREATION
"Tailgate" is b/w the fabulous "Born Again" from EDDIE
KENDRICKS...I think it´s one of the earliest Motown-12"es.
