Disco years of the 70's which really stand out to me

[Funky Dude]

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time because I was running out of topics to post and I just thought of this one recently.



I've listened to a lot of disco songs of the 70's and there are 2 years of the 70's that really stand out to me and that is 1973 and 1977.



1973 stands out to me because dance music was sounding more and more like pure disco and some of the songs sound a couple of years ahead of it's time. Here are some examples:

Ultra High Frequency - We're On The Right Track

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - The Love I Lost

M.F.S.B. - T.S.O.P.

M.F.S.B. - Love Is The Message

First Choice - The Player

First Choice - Armed & Extremely Dangerous

Trammps - Love Epidemic

Trammps - Where Do We Go From Here

Executive Suite - When The Fuel Runs Out



And 1977 is a very significant year because that year a lot of disco was using electronic sequencer synthesizers which makes the songs sound more technofied and I'm talking about songs like:

Baciotti - Black Jack

Cerrone - Supernature

Donna Summer - I Feel Love

Giorgio Moroder - From Here To Eternity (The whole LP is done with electronic keyboards and sequencers)

And I guess Kraftwerk probably done some really whacky electronic albums that year as well



Anyhow, although I wasn't alive in the disco era after hearing a lot of disco those two years are very significant to me.

Well, I was alive at that period of time and I can remember what happy times were those

(a bit more free from violence, crap music, poverty, aids, etc...) These songs were favorites and they played regularly in discos over here:



1 - DANCING IN PARADISE - 1978(EL COCO)

2 - COCOMOTION - 1977 (EL COCO)

3 - SUPERNATURE - 1978(CERRONE)

4 - FESS UP TO THE BOGGIE - 1979 (GREG DIAMOND)

5 - DANCE DANCE DANCE - 1977 (CHIC)

6 - LE SPANK- 1977 (LE PAMPLEMOUSSE)

7 - MANHATTAN LOVE SONG - 1977 (KING ERRISON)



I will stop here or else I will make a list of a thousand good songs.



Has anybody in this list already heard a song by SWING OUT SISTER called WHO LET THE LOVE OUT? It is a 1992 track from their 3rd album. An excelent piece of dancing soul music.

I'm not to good with remembering the exact

years of my favorite disco songs but I must

say that 1977 was a HOT year for music and

everything else. Especially in NYC (Son of

Sam, the blackouts, maybe the hottest

temperatures in history-103 degrees and I

THINK Studio 54 opened that year). I speak to

a lot of people that's older than me and from

their opinion, including my mother, 1977 had

the most disco hits than any other year.Plus

disco was at a all time peak.

I will have to get back to you regarding the

year 1973 but I remember as clear as day

that we had some good times and parties in

1975-77.



DELIGHTFUL!

A lot of my favourite disco records were made in 1979!

I love 1979... I was 5 and in kindergarten! :D And no doubt absorbing disco from squelchy AM radio!

Music very definately started to change and was in full swing by the summer of '73.

'77 WAS the hottest year for Disco.
'78 was great as well.
By the summer of '79 a lot of us were getting burned out, drugged out, fucked out or married (myself and my best pal).

Myself; I was burned out and fucked out with all of the relationships I'd had during the past few years so I settled down. I'm still settled down. I would suggest that this is what happened to many of us. It's no surprise as to why many of the younger members of this BB were born between '77 and '84. :D

1977 was a year which would tint my days forever. The music was part of the magic. 8)
