I just posted a question in the "Ask others..." forum. Which reminded me that there are a lot of reggae "cross-overs" that are somewhere between reggae and dance.
In 2002 Soul Jazz Records brought out the excellent CD "Hustle! Reggae disco" (Bernie, insert link here :lol: ).
My question, and this CD, prompted me to ask what your favorite reggae/dance/disco favorites were/are.
Mine? Here goes:
- Manu Dibango - Take your time
- Bill Summers & Summers Heat - She's gone
- Bernard Lavilliers - The ghetto (French song)
- Storm - It's my house
- Barry Biggs - Love come down
Honorary mention: Bob Marley - Jammin'
Over to y'all :P

Don't forget ol' Jimmy Cliff with "Hot shot" and "Reggae night". Those were from around 1983-84.

Don't forget Peter Tosh's "Buk-in-hamm Palace" about smoking a spliff in the Queen's house. This was a big one in Bobby V's Trocadero era. The dub is called "Dubbing In Buck-in-hamm" & is now available on the bonus track version of the "Mystic Man" CD.
AMG say:
"Buk-in-hamm Palace is the biggest departure, building its outlaw theme of smoking marijuana in the Queen of England's home over a bubbling disco rhythm. It's easily the most accessible moment here, driven by Tosh's crack backup band of the time, Word, Sound & Power."
3 versions are included:
6. Buk-in-hamm Palace (Tosh) - 8:47
10. Buk-in-hamm Palace[*] (Tosh) - 7:43
14. Dubbing Buk-in-hamm[*] (Tosh) - 8:31
"Light up your spliff, light up your (sounds like) chalice(?)---gonna smoke it in Buck-in-hamm Palace" :lol:
