Best songs of the "golden" disco era

[ramon acevedo]

Well, after seeing all the discusion regarding what I considered the real disco era, and getting a lot of good feedback about this, let me just call 76-81 the golden years of disco, I would like to put in your consideration some of my favorite songs during that period:

Souvenirs-Voyage
A little loving keeps the doctor away-The Raes
If all we´re going to do is dance- Hott City
Ain´t nothing going to keep me from you- Teri De Sario
Dance with me- Peter Brown
Boogie Woogie woogie- A taste of honey
If there is love- Amant
Come into my heart - USA European Connection

"Souveniers" by Voyage: 110% agreed! What a fantastic song!!! Easily among my favorites!
"Boogie Oogie Oogie" had a fantastic bass line, especially on the 12" extended remix.
Some other favorites for consideration:
"The Hustle" by Van McCoy. Although being from '75 falls outside your definition of the classic disco era, this song can not be disounted among any "best of" disco list.
"Star Wars Theme" by Meco. Sure it's a bit campy, but if you can get beyond the cheese, you must recognize that Meco Monardo was a disco maestro.
"Born To Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez. Unstoppable energy. Captured the freshness and positivity of disco music of that time. Disco was often a beacon of hope in those otherwise dark, muddled 70's.

There has been a lot of posts regarding this thread. You can check them by recalling the time when we all voted the top 25 hit songs for Bernie's 500 disco hits.

I tended to stick with the orginal 5 min album version.
