"Sunny" by Yambu

[Robbie]

I just got this 45 in the mail today and I keep playing it over and over. It is on the Montuno record label, from 1975. "Sunny" is the A side and clocks in at 4:32.



There is something about pre-1976 disco that makes it different from the disco music after that period and beyond. I think that disco music, particularly in 1975, was "hardcore", in it that it was more emphasis on actual instruments rather than electronics. I also think because of this, the music sounded more "fresh".

Robbie:



I agree with you completely. I am currently working on a DJ mix featuring many songs from the '74-'75 disco era such as:



Walk away from love - David Ruffin

Hey girl, come and get it - The Stylistics

The Hustle - Van McKoy

Dreaming a dream - The Crown Heights Affair



to name a few and they all sound better than alot of the electronically infused disco from the later '70's. Strings were also a big proponent of the mid '70's disco sound that you don't hear in the songs from later in the decade. By the way, I'm also feeling 'Sunny' by Yambu.



Easy,
