    Re: Piano Driven Disco Songs:

    I strongly recommend Lesette Wilson "Caveman Boogie" from around 1981, jazzy dance groove with a real driving piano lead.

    I was going to come back with that one ! .... REALLY I WAS !!!

    Great songs !! :icon_biggrin:

    You know I don't think piano is typically regarded as a very significant instrument when it comes to disco ... .....

    BUT looking at these posted ..... it seems like it was a important component for some of the most wonderful of songs .

    Re: Piano Driven Disco Songs:

    I can't believe I forgot that Rare Pleasure track. That song wouldn't be the same without that piano.

    Here's another biggie people haven't mentioned yet



    Apparently More More More was recorded in Jamaica, which I just found out today!

    Re: Piano Driven Disco Songs:

    my favorite disco songs with prominent piano: Andrea True's "More More More", Watson Beasley's "Don't Let Your Chance Go Bye" and Bionic Boogie's "Risky Changes". Always loved the piano riff in "Relight My Fire" too.

    Re: Piano Driven Disco Songs:

    Another fab piano line that just came to mind (and I didn't see any YouTube postings):

    Inner City Jam Band: Inner City Jam (Mambonique)

    To this day, I don't know what a "mambonique" is...but I still dance to it.

    And (which Salsoul1975 mentioned):



    I hadn't seen the video before. Diana's great in it. Simple. Unaffected. Joyful. Ironically, there's not much piano in it until the end, sorta jazzy.

    I often feel that not enough praise is given to the fab keyboard work on Chic productions; everyone goes on all the time about the guitar, bass & drums but they never mention the keyboards! Well done nf!:icon_razz:
