.. Hello efunk_adelic .. .. nice choice .. but please, please tell me why you list only part 1 of Bad Luck? .. do you think part 2 is dull? .. do you think the full-length version too long? .. do you think Harold runs out of steam on part 2? .. do you, like my Mum, think any record over-long if it runs for more than 3 minutes? .. she exhausts quickly on a dancefloor ( .. well she would, she's 64 years old .. )

ashley...

awesome that you noticed. Honestly it's on my current list of favorites, but I find that I change to the next track as I do get bored with it around the part that they sing about "cut down on smoking... cut down on smoking... cut down on drinking... cutdown on drinking..." so IMO Part 1 rocks!

[ashley]

.. " .. cut down on smoking, cut down on drinking .. " .. I think that's the bit of the song they want us to hear .. I suppose any alcoholic smoker would get quite exasperated with that lyric after 35 years

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

If you could only hear 25 of your favorite disco songs ever again, what would they be?

Following that exact lead... I made a list of the songs that I still reach for, on a regular basis. Whether cleaning house, laying on the couch, driving, or seeking inspiration for a remix project I'm working on. (Most of these I still listen to, at least once a month! )

I, purposefully didn't look at anyone else's lists before making mine. And was brutally honest in cutting my first list of about 50 songs, down to 25. They're in no particular order. Other than, how they came into my head.

1) (Nobody Loves Me) Like You Do Do / pt 1 & 2 (single) - Jeanne Burton 1975
2) Pleasure Island - Paul Jabara 1978
3) Nice And Slow (Rick Gianatos' Disco Queen Records acetate) - Jesse Green 1976
4) Forbidden Love Suite (Jim Burgess' LP remix) - Madleen Kane 1979
5) Rough Diamond (Jim Burgess remix) - Madleen Kane 1978
6) Heartbreak In Disguise (Manny Slali & Bob Stone remix) - Pattie Brooks 1978
7) Confessions - D.C. LaRue 1978
8) I've Found Love (Now That I've Found You) - Love & Kisses 1977
9) That's Where The Happy People Go (full length LP version) - The Trammps 1976
10) Je Taime - Donna Summer 1977
11) Je Taime - Saint Tropez 1977
12) One More Minute - Saint Tropez 1978
13) Tangerue' - Tangerue' 1979
14) Stop, I Don't Need No Sympathy - Lyn Roman 1973
15) I Wanna Funk With You Tonight - Giorgio - 1976
16) Trouble Maker - Roberta Kelly 1976
17) Disco Wedding/Honeymoon In Puerto Rico/Disco Divorce (original LP version) - Paul Jabara 1979
18) Judas Iscariot - Sphynx 1977
19) Eloise - Paris Connection 1978
20) Doin' The Best That I Can (original 12") - Bettye LaVette 1978
21) The Rite of King Gymenaud - Alec R. Costandinos and The Syncophonic Orchestra, featuring Alirol & Jacquet 1979
22) Cerrone's Paradise - Cerrone 1977
23) Hit 'N Run Lover (Stephen L. Freeman's Disco Queen Records acetate) - Carol Jiani 1981
24) Disco Choo Choo (LP & Howard Merit mixes) - Nightlife Unlimited 1979
25) Love Is The Ultimate medley (LP & Pro 12" remix #1) - Ultimate 1978

Obviously I'm most drawn to the '77 - '78 releases. '78 was always my favourite year year for Disco. It had become recognized as a maketable genre. So, the Producers had some real money behind them. The sound was still in flux, with experimental ideas and influences coming from all directions. (example: the '78 pro 12" of "Jump The Gun", was the creative prototype of '79's "Hot Stuff". "MacArthur's Park" was the peak of Moroder & Bellotte's "lush" period. "How Much, How Much I Love You" was the pinnacle of "The Love & Kisses sound". And Boris Midney introduced what was termed "Art Disco", with USA/European Connection.)

Although there's years of brilliant recordings following that period, the "formula" was firmly in place by '79. (As has happened with every popular genre of music.)

Thank God, Canada & the UK (Unidisc, Matra, Celsius, Passion, Record Shack, ERC, PWL, etc...) grabbed the torch and ran with it, when the major US labels decided to jump-ship in the early 80's. (But we did have Moby Dick and Megatone!)

VIVA LA BOOM-BOOM!

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

George: what Lime album is "Agent 406" on? Never heard of it, and it's not on their Greatest Hits collection (at least not the one I own....)

It's from the 1st Lime LP. In the same vein as "The Break", or "Plug Me To Death"

[Videoskooter]

"Agent 406" is one of Lime's best outputs! One of my favourite instrumentals and it's typical La Greca/Lepage stuff!

Lime Agent 406 b/w Baby, I'll Be Yours (Dutch 12") DiscoMusic.com

[Billy72]

GREAT TOPIC; I'm still learning Disco songs (the dance hits that were not played on 70s radio that is; clubs hits) there are so many. From all the Disco hits I do know well; I'll give you my CURRENT favorites in no particular order of importance:

1. Thelma Houston "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" 79' (very rare to hear this one; in fact I'm currently trying to get someone to post it on YOUTUBE; but so far there is a NEWER version (by Thelma but modern sounding and doesnt 'hold a candle to the 79 version.

2. Diana Ross "The Boss" (79'): Man, I love this one!

3. S.O.S. Band "Take the time, Do it Right" (80') What a jam!

4. Abba "Dancing Queen" I've loved this one since childhood so much. I've considered it more 'pop' in the past; but someone (in another thread) told me it was Disco; and I re-thought my position (yeah, it is).

5. Beegees "Nightfever" Another one I'll never get tired of; childhood memories; SAT. FEVER (too much attached to it).

6. Beegees "More than a Woman" Same here; man the dance sequence in FEVER with this one is so special; molded in my brain forever!

7. France Joli "Gonna Get Over You" (81') Just heard this one a year and a half ago; and LOVED IT since (very rare). WAS THIS ONE BIG IN THE CLUBS IN 81? Man, it grooves hard; great vocals! Too bad it didnt come out a couple of years sooner; it probably would have been a radio hit too.

8. Marilyn McCoo/Billy Davis Jr. "Shine on Silver Moon" Another rare (club hit; no top 40 posting in my book). WHAT YEAR DID THIS COME OUT? mAn, THE GROOVE and VOCALS here; its sooo awesome!

9. The Whisperers "And the Beat goes On" (80') WOAH BUDDY; what a Jam!

10. Rod Stewart "Do you think I'm Sexy" Another childhood memory; incredible; never will get tired of it. (78')

11. Donna Summer "Could it be Magic" A remake of Manilow's hit; which I just discovered a couple of months ago on YOUTUBE. Wow, I usually don't like remakes; but there are some artists that can do em MUCH GOOD; she is one of em! 76' I'm almost certain.

12. Stephanie Mills "I Never knew Love Like this Before" 80' Beautiful!

13. George Benson "Give me the Night" (80') Groovin!

14. Brothers Johnson "Stomp" (80') again; groovin track!

15. Loleatta Holloway "Love Sensation" (80') Oh my; the vocals, the groove!

16. Earth, Wind, and Fire "Let's Groove" (81') Awesome doesnt say it;

17. Barbara Streisand/Donna Summer "No More Tears (enough is enough)" Hit number one at the 'tale end' of 79', kinda discredited the July Disco 'blowup' event in Chicago.

18. Rufus and Chaka Khan "Do you Love what You Feel" (80') Alright, some may debate and say this is R & B; however, its such a HARD GROOVE I gotta include it. What rythm, and vocals!

19. The Emotions "Best of my Love" (77') Childhood memories with this one; hear it alot, but dont get tired of it. What a Groove!

20. High Inergy "You can't turn me off (in the middle of turning me on)" (78') A childhood memory, BEAUIFUL SONG; and I totally forgot about this song until I heard it again 20 years later in 99'. DONT YOU LOVE IT when you hear a song you havent heard in years!

21. Candi Staton "Young Hearts Run Free" (76') very nice!

22. Odyssey "Native New Yorker" (78') Great groove! Never get tired of this one. SInce the late 90s though, this song is etched (in my mind) with the movie "Studio 54" were the old lady is dancing to this one right before she dies (sadly).

23. Donna Summer "Heaven Knows" (79') Great vocals and melody; I love the way the male vocal chimes in.

24. Beegees "Love you inside Out" (79') simply beautiful. So many from them in the later 70s I could keep writing here.

25. Andy Gibb "Desire" (80') DOES ANYONE LOVE THIS ONE TOO? Man, what a beautiful song!
