THREE DISCO SONGS NEED AN EXPERT ONE TO IDENTIFY

[MAN]

Any body helps me please with this 3 songs specially the last one i get it in a 20 years old tape of mine, and that's what I can get from the lyrics of them:

1) The first one is early 80's with a male vocal and a group in a mid tempo speed

(this is the second chapter)

get down in Saturday night
get down in Saturday night

I liked the party hh hh every body does
you can wait for the weekend no no
see what you getting to
but you got to get down down down down
even if you stay at home
make love and lasting to the music
you got to let yourself go go go go

you work oh we love you works your fingers to the bone……..
i can't wait for Saturday to begin

make love until the morning come

in New York, in Detroiter, in New York, in Detroiter even in LA

(with back vocals - get down in Saturday night-)

get down in Saturday night
Saturday night , Saturday night you gonna be alright
get down in Saturday night


2) The second one is late 70's - female vocal group (near to - universal robot band- style) it is just instrumental with only this lyrics, in a fast tempo and seems that it's in 12" or long version:

should be dancing
in my heart you should
should be dancing
dance away my blues
(and some instrumental)
let's dance, let's dance




3) This third one is male vocal with a group a real fast tempo disco song with a bright lead guitar

you came tonight on the bright city lights, you came tonight all long
Friday night is found only hear, and going up for a night on the town
well well
i've been worked hard all week ……. above
…………………..
gonna find me a lady somewhere in this great big city
………………….
checking out in my favorite spots and I'm looking for someone all alone.
weel well
I've been trying hard all night to find love ……….
(near the end a female vocal with the same male vocal answering each others)

#1 is 'Get Down, Saturday Night', by Oliver Cheatham.
#3 is 'Lookin' For Love Tonight' by Fat Larry's Band.

Haven't worked out #2 yet - though I'm thinking 'Let's Dance' by The Bombers, which has a bit of a Patrick Adams feel.

Thank you very much FORRRCE, you don't know how much you helped me on this specially the 3rd one I tried to know the group for a long time and did not get it, I have only one FAT LARRY'S BAND LP (FEEL IT) and it's belong to 1977 and it's completely another style music , but I'm wondering for this song 'Lookin' For Love Tonight' it seems to me a great disco style one but I don't get it in any compilation disco cd or lp all this time or maybe only on my way of searching for disco music, I found it great and live,but if you please tell me in which LP originaly relased and what year. And for the first song I'll tell after I know the artist Oliver Cheatham it's impossible for me to know it , for the second one I mentioned that it's close to UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND style but I forget to tell that it's close to their song (dance and shake your tambourine) maybe that help you more, but by all the way I'll believe you now even if you told me it's a song for BRITNY SPEARS . thank you again FORRRCE you are great. By the way I have some more song I want to know I'll arrange it and I'm sure that you can help me again.
Thanks with best reagards.

Lp-Looking For Love
Artist-Fat Larry's Band
Label-Fantasy WMOT
Year-1979

From AMG review

This was an entertaining Philadelphia funk band, fronted by drummer "Fat" Larry James. Fat Larry's Band never scored any major hits, but their singles for Stax, Fantasy, and Omni were prototype late-'70s and '80s East Coast jazz-tinged funk. Trumpeter and flutist Art Capehart, trombonist and alto saxophonist Jimmy Lee, saxophonist Doug Jones, keyboardist Erskine Williams, guitarist Ted Cohen, bassist Larry Labes, and percussionist Darryl Grant completed the lineup. Their best song aesthetically was "Act Like You Know," a 1982 tune with a surging bass line and simple but catchy lyric refrain. James also played with the Delphonics and Blue Magic and managed the group Slick. A good performer and charismatic personality, James died very prematurely in 1987 at age 38.

Hi Maaaan,

mhhh...if i´m not completely wrong, the 2nd one should be:

"SHU´ DIG´ DANCING (in my hi-heeled shoes)" from the band "Inner city express" .

I´m actually listening to it,
and the lyrics you described could really match.
I don´t have it on an original record, just on a crappy-sounding
2-LP-UK-Pickwick-Compilation called "40 Tracks - Disco Magic", so sorry if i can´t give you any more information on that.

They also covered a version of "Dance and shake your tambourine", which is also included...and it´s also groooovy stuff :-)

All the best to you and all disco-fanatix out there sayz
Martin

You're right daMaddin after lessening to it again it's "SHU´ DIG´ DANCING (in my hi-heeled shoes)" and not as I mentioned before and also when I said it's close to the style of UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND it's also right after I read that at one site mentioned that also today they said that :

UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND Their first single, "Dance and shake your funky tambourine" was an international underground smash, later covered by Inner City Express. Their second album included the brilliant disco track "Freak with me", along with "Doing anything tonight" and "Dancing disco party".

And Inner City Express Great! Gerry Shury arranged the hits for this cult disco group on the UK Ebony label. First single, "Dance and shake your funky tambourine" is a cover of the Universal Robot Band song - and a good one at that. The b-side is "Boogie baby" and it's also great. "Shu dig dancin' (in my hi-heel shoes)" is another great song along the same lines; "Fat on Funk" is an excellent slow-disco b-side. And "Spring Rain" - well, it's a fab cover of the Silvetti Salsoul classic.
Dance and shake your funky tambourine / Boogie baby (Ebony 12" [UK] EYEC 1, 1977)
Shu' dig dancin' (in my hi-heeled shoes) / Fat on funk (Ebony 12" [UK] EYEC 5, 1978)
Dance and shake your funky tambourine / Shu' dig dancin' (in my hi-heeled shoes) (RCA 12" [UK] DDC 005, 1979)
Spring rain (Ebony 7" [UK], 1978)

So you're right daMaddin now the answer is complete and the case is closed to me
