I've recently done a video trade with some guy in the UK for 3 videos of some old 70's Top Of The Pops episodes and I'm currently watching them and have found some fantastic disco songs on that show. One of the Top Of The Pops studio acts to mention is:
El Bimbo - Bimbo Jet 1975
Legs & Co (Top Of The Pops Dancers) dancing to Melba Moore - This Is It 1976
Legs & Co dancing to Isaac Hayes - Disco Connection 1976
And on one of the 1976 episodes they played a 2 minute partial of Brass Construction performing "Movin'" which is either a music video or a concert performance recorded on a film camera.
And on another episode from the same year they played Archie Bell & The Drells performing "Soul City Walk" which is a live studio performance from I guess some US music or variety show most likely American Bandstand.
I'm really glad to get a hold of video clips of some of my favourite disco songs. I'm a collector of 70's disco/funk/soul and rock/glam rock/heavy metal videos as well as records and I scour the internet for people with Soul Train episodes, Top Of The Pops episodes, Countdown (Australian pop show of the 70's and 80's), and other shows.
It's a shame Soul Train won't repeat their old episodes on any US TV channels. I mean if UK can repeat old Top Of The Pops episodes and Australia can repeat old Countdown episodes, then why should Soul Train hold back on playing 70's and 80's Soul Train episodes since I hear so many people begging for old episodes to be played. The only way to find out is to ask Don Cornelius himself.

Thanks mate.
The one I've downloaded last year is in bad shape because it skips tracks. I'll be looking forward to hearing the better one.
Also thanks for the other songs you've uploaded, they are fantastic.

Looking through some more of those Top Of The Pops episodes I found:
Stylistics music video "I can't Give You Anything But My Love" on a 1975 episode
and Moments performing "Jack In A Box" live on Top Of The Pops in early 1977, and on the same episode Thelma Houston performs her chart topper "Don't Leave Me This Way" live in the Top Of The Pops studio. Fantastic clips.
I tend to wonder if Top Of The Pops get more disco/funk/soul acts than any other pop show excluding Soul Train and Disco Step By Step?

Found another great disco performance on Top Of The Pops, this one is "Girls" by Moments who performed it live on one of the 1975 episodes. Top Of The Pops is loaded with great disco classics.
