Artist 'Themes'

[Disco Funk]

Remicks thread inspired me to start this one about Artist Themes, you know, those tracks that are usually instrumentals that bear the artist's name in the title.

Besides Trammps Theme, which was mentioned in the other thread, here are a few others. They don't necessarily have to have 'theme' in the title, like MFSB for example

Anglo Saxon Brown - ASB Theme
MFSB - MFSB
Vivian Reed - Vivian's Theme (previously unreleased, it was put on a philly compilation CD a few years ago)
The Brothers - Brothers Theme


Alright, your turn guys.

2 that spring to mind are the 'Earth, Wind & Fire' track form their 'Spirit' LP which I adore, & 'Chic Cheer' from 'CEst Chic'.

[Bernie]

Here's two that I enjoy that fit the "theme" of discussion:

"D Train Theme" by D Train


"Theme for Black Light" by The Black Light Orchestra
(there was no clip of this song on YouTube, "Morricone" is very similar.

First Choice Theme/Ain't He Bad - First Choice
(from LP "So Let Us Entertain You" (WB/Philly Groove/1976)

[Disco Funk]

I got a few more

Village People - Village People
Soul Train Gang - Soul Train Theme (a bit of a cheat since the artist is named after the show)
Carol Douglas - Carol's Theme (I and II) part of Midnight Love Affair

I'm not sure if I get the idea 100% but:

[Disco Funk]

Those are good selections. Anything that has the artists name in the title, it's basically a 'theme', but I don't think has to be an instrumental.

Kool & The Gang, New York City Band and Pieces Of A Dream did eponymous tracks. Some more I've come up with:

[kdavid13]

One could argue that Donna Summer's Summer Fever and Village People's Village People qualify as themes.

:icon_cool:

[the disco kid]

"Utopia (Me Giorgio)" Giorgio
"Barry's Theme Pts. 1 & 2" Barry White (Love Unlimited Orchestra)
"Gene's Theme" Gene Page

[FranceJoliFan]

Boogie People by Boogie People


And I always thought the "S" in S-Beat stood for Soccio, so maybe that counts too.

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

from Paris Connection...
Eloise, K's Theme (Knehnetsky), Eloise (reprise)

[kdavid13]

Eria Fachin's Eria's Aria / I Hear A Symphony

[JussiK]

Botticelli Orchestra: "Botticelli's Theme" - excellent drama/powerdisco
Bambu: "Jorge's Theme" /"I Don't Want To Lose You" - Jorge Barriero is the writer.

Bambu: "Jorge's Theme" /"I Don't Want To Lose You" - Jorge Barriero is the writer.

Good God! What a GREAT record!!! :icon_biggrin:
Was it ever released outside of the independent label, Zebra Records?

[JussiK]

I bought my Zebra label 12" copy here from a record shop that was part of a large chain. Must have been K-Tel that had bought the overseas rights to it, they had special disco stands in in many stores, with often quite puzzling realeses offered in small quantities among the big sellers like Luv, Roberta Kelly's Zodiacs and Saturday Night Band.
