Hits you were not aware of and discovered on web

[disco1999]

I have collected a lot of disco vinyls in the post-disco era (early 80's) and although I was fairly young in the 70's I followed more or less the disco scene, hey, they wouldn't let me in the disco at age 14. There are a few big hits I wasn't aware until I browsed in sites like this one. I recall Bernie a couple years ago being surprised when I told him that I have never heard the song "Cerrone - Love in C minor" before, so I felt a little ignorant.

Other "new true hit songs" to me that were introduced on the web:

Alec Constandinos - Romeo and Juliet
Barry White - You're the 1st, the last..
Bionic Boogie - Risky changes
D.D. Sound - Cafe
Stephanie Mills - Pilot error


What are the disco hit songs that you have recently found out ? or is it just me ? :grin:

I never heard of "Super Disco" by the Rimshots until Maarten finished tabulating the Top 500 for me. There are others, but I can't recall them right now.

I never heard "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" by Agnetha Faltskog until I heard Nicky play it in his mix.

Thanks Nicky.

For me there are hundreds of fantastic disco/funk grooves that I've discovered on the web but never heard before ranging from the really rare undergound grooves to the mainstream grooves that were popular in USA and England but not in Australia
