(12"/Part 1/Salsoul Rec./1980/A nice and
cool relaxed DiscoFunker!)

Vers./Prod.by Quincy Jones/I think everyone
knows this song in the US)
-COMMODORES"Brick House"(12"/Long Version/
1977/6:11/Motown/Another famous classic
DiscoFunker!)

leux Chocolats/1977/Another sweetly soun-
ding LatinDisco from this great Formation)

Hi Sirius,

Great disco-funk stuff in your list, I like it a lot!!! Oh yeah!!

Blaxman

[sammyperez]

Sirius:

Wow, some great stuff here. 'Down to love town' is one my favorite disco classics. However, you have two tracks listed here I don't have and haven't heard in years.

'Funk Machine' - I have great memories of this song and have long looked for it at record conventions, but have yet to find it. TK was a great label.

As for 'The Great Disco Bouzouki Band', believe it or not, I owned this record and gave it away years ago. Now that you mentioned it I wish I had it. Great list.

Easy,

Sam "ALL JAM"

[dj_coolcut]

Thanks Sirius for your playlists...they are a great inspiration for me!!!

[Bernie]

Sirius,

If you like Samba Soul then check out there other single, "I'm In You" on RCA.

[sirius]

Thanx for the compliments my friends...
I see you´re very interested in lots of
DiscoSound of every kind...
I think, I don´t know Bernie´s mentioned
SAMBA SOUL Track...I will look for this
song...

Hi SIRIUS,

you 've mentioned SAMBA SOUL. I have the 12 that contains MAMBO Nº 5 and I have an LP by this group. Reading the credits of the album, I think the group is formed by brazilian musicians and north american vocalists. For me, their best moment is DANCIN' DAYS, a classic brazilian disco song originally released by a group called AS FRENÉTICAS. SAMBA SOUL recorded DANCIN' DAYS in English and they did a fine job. I've played DANCIN' DAYS by SAMBA SOUL once or twice at parties here in Brasil and people like it a lot.

If you want any info about brazilian music, send me a post.

Peace,
zeca azevedo

Dear zeca azevedo!
I don´t have too much brazilian Disco, but
I remember well THE VAMPS and also ALICE
STREET GANG, which are recommendable.
