    Soulful harmonies in disco tunes

    I picked up a Whispers' CD recently which had my all-time favourite Whispers tune on it - Can't Do Without Love - a great dance tune with some wonderful soulful harmonies on it. I had never gotten round to buying it way back when but it brings back memories of long-forgotten soulful summer nights .... :D

    Anybody else remember that one?

    Some other disco records which I love for the vocal harmonies include:

    Joneses - Sugar Pie Guy
    The Dells - All About The Papers
    The Trammps - Hold Back The Night (amongst others)
    If it moves - funk it!!

    A lot of the great vocal groups went disco in the 70's.
    great examples are:
    The Temptations - "Power" & "Isn't The Night Fantastic"
    The Whispers- "Imagination"

    Also The Four Tops, Detroit Spinners and The Stylicists tried some disco stuff and don't forget the ever so classic harmonies in "You Got The Best of My Love" by The Emotions
    There was life after disco!!

    Five Special, "Why Leave Us Alone", always felt like a Temptations song with its tight harmonies.

    I also like Alton McClain & Destiny (if you can't tell by my signature line). "It Must Be Love" --- the ladies were tight on that one.

    There are so many, but I like to mention here ASHFORD & SIMPSON. Almost everything they penned is so full of harmony and musicality
