Gladys Knight & Patti LaBelle Disco Question

Other than the early disco cut "Better Than Good Time" (of which I am not overly fond) and the tail end disco of "Taste Of Bitter Love" & "Bourgie Bourgie", is there any other Gladys Knight disco I should be keeping an eye out for?

Same for miss Patti as I am only familiar with "Music Is My Way...", "The Spirit's In It's and "Eyes In The Back Of My Head".

For Gladys Knight, there was one more Ashford and Simpson-produced post-Disco goodie - "I will Fight".

In the mid-Eighties, there was the dance hits, "My Time", "Love Overboard", "Living' on Next to Nothin'" and "Send It To Me" (from the "Miami Vice II" soundtrack, produced by those Breakfast Club guys that did the same for Madonna during this time-period).

In 1980 Gladys Knight and the Pips also released a Christmas-themed album "That Special Time of Year" with two disco songs: "Jingle Bells" and "That Special Time of Year".

In 1977, the group came out with a disco song "It's Better than Good Time" and the disco-soul number "Baby Don't Change Your Mind".

Gladys Knight's solo efforts "You Bring Out the Best in Me" and "You Don't Have to Say I Love You", both from 1979, are said by one source to be "disco-soul" but I have not heard them.

Don't forget "Save Your Overtime for me" - another cut from the early 80s. Sounds a little like "Somebody Elses Guy" in places.

Since some of you are "KIDZ" (and may not have been born at the time)

I'll mention that Miss Patti had several bonfide DISCO CLASSICS as part of LaBelle:

LADY MARMALADE
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
MESSIN' WITH MY MIND

Mid-80's Solo Classic:

NEW ATTITUDE (from "Beverly Hills Cop")

LaBelle mid-90's reunion:

TURN IT OUT (from the "To Wong Foo" soundtrack)

As for Gladys....

YOU BRING OUT THE BEST IN ME was definitely DISCO.

But it's that elusive, HARD-TO-FIND Walter Gibbons remix of "It's A Better Than Good Time" that I want!!!!) :evil:

Don't know if you are aware of the Walter Gibbons remix of "Better than good time"...... probably my preferred remix of all times, a masterpiece. It was released in Canada only
