Absolute Best

[djdanpooch]

Here I hope to discuss some of the BEST songs we love to play or hear when we are in a club.
I would like to start this thread with one of my all time favorites - -
Doctor Love - First Choice - Salsoul Records

YouTube - First choice/Dr love(uncut mix 8:19)

Somewhere during this thread I will publish a list of my all time favorites. There is many more to come. I would like to know from you, some of your favorites that you think are the "Best". A song that gets you up no matter where you are.

Front Page: Love Insurance



Everybody knows that I love "Love Insurance" by Front Page with Sharon Redd on vocals. Perfect blend of all the Disco goodness you can cram into a 12" single!

YouTube - Front Page ' Sharon Redd' - Love Insurance - '79

Mine is an easy one... It has got to be I feel love by Donna Summer.

It`s in a league of its own as far as I`m concerned.

Bernie - I agree about Love insurance - what a fantastic song.Not only that but the sound on the Panorama 12in was fantastic !!! :icon_cool:

[FranceJoliFan]

Impossible to choose. Yet so fun to try.
Three off the top of my head:

Dance To Dance - Gino Soccio
Walking On Music - Peter Jacques Band
Playboy - France Joli

nice to see what songs turn on our fellow disco fans.

My list is fairly soulful than euro, but then again, that probably says more 'bout me than the actual song list

2. Turn the Beat Around (Vicki Sue Robinson)
3. Kung Fu Fighting (Carl Douglas)
4. If My Friends Could See Me Now (Linda Clifford)
5. Hot Line (Sylvers)
6. Dr. Love (First Choice)
7. I Caught Your Act (Hues Corporation)
8. When You're Young And In Love (Ralph Carter)
9. Full Time Thing (Whirlwind)
10. The Night The Lights Went Out (Trammps)

Thanks Bernie. I'm still not getting how to do that embedded thing. I did check out your FAQ on youtube embedding but I guess I need it spelled out kindergartner style for me to get it.:icon_cool:

[SandraDee]

Undoubtedly this record, video & artist changed my life forever in the Autumn of '78 when I was at that impressionable age of 13!:icon_razz: I really don't think anything has topped it since for on-the-floor ecstacy.




I agree with Kris & Paul too with their choices of 'Cocomotion' & 'I Feel Love' - they're probably my 2nd & 3rd fave disco tracks ever.

[djdanpooch]

I AM LOVING SOME OF THE TUNES MY FELLOW MEMBERS ARE POSTING!!!

Embedding Youtube videos are easy... It's all in the FAQ linked at the top of each page:

Disco Music.com - FAQ: vBulletin FAQ

[thommy2458]

Still gives me goosebumps:

[tmob]

Nothing crystallizes a moment in time for me quite like this one. And even though this isn't the long version, it still sparkles like a diamond...

[djdanpooch]

ANOTHER ABSOLUTE BEST ON MY LIST, A SONG I PLAY EACH TIME I PLAY- GINO SOCCIO - "DANCER" A MUST PLAY SONG, KILLER FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT!

YouTube - gino soccio dancer


POOCH

[DJRAZ]

I agree with all the songs mentioned here. But I have to say
Mainline by Black Ivory and Check out the groove by Bobby Thurston would always get me going.

Continuing with some of the Absolute Best, I submit candy for your ears -
Glow Of Love - Change

YouTube - Change - The Glow Of Love HQ Audio

Listening to Luther still sends a chill down my ear canal.

[SandraDee]

Continuing with some of the Absolute Best, I submit candy for your ears -
Glow Of Love - Change

The Glow Of Love LP has got to be one of the best albums of all time too. Every track's a stunner IMHO. At the time I thought wow if this is the 80s bring it on, but the decade went downhill from there really!:icon_confused:

[djdanpooch]

Ok, glad you are liking the "Absolute Best" from my list. Here is another to throw at you - Cher Chez La Femme, the whole album is a smash! But this is the single that started it all.

YouTube - DR. BUZZARD'S SAVANNAH BAND - CHEZ CHEZ LE FEMME

Enjoy my friends!

[djdanpooch]

Another Best for this post - Fonda Rae - "Heobah"
This tune for me just had the groove to move your feet, this is also a song I still play today.
Enjoy
YouTube - Fonda Rae- Heobah (LONG VOCAL VERSION)

[djdanpooch]

To continue our "Absolute Best" I submit for your listening ear -
"Smack Dab In The Middle" Janice McClain. Another smash from the RFC label. First time I heard this at Ray's office I went ape!!!!
