Music from the 1970s that remans timeless, no.24

Taste of Honey. Boogie Oogie Oogie (12"/LP version)

I make no apologies for including Taste of Honey's disco classic here (it also appeared in the Disco posts), its a joyous bit of dance music. Janice-Marie Johnson & Perry Kibble offer an infectious arrangement with trilling guitar riffs & a bass solo with a great rhythm arrangement. Of course disco was big in the mid to late-70s, so here it is.

Now that the 50 Disco Classics as concluded... there will be a short break in recommendations....

I have been wondering about a short series of recommendations of funk & soul compilation LPs to look out for... or possible a series of 70s classics for nostalgia listening?

In any case some recommendations will likely re-start by the weekend

50 disco classics to get your feet moving, no.50

Abba. Dancing Queen

Many 70s groups produced limp & disposable disco tracks, but Abba's Dancing Queen remains a floor filling classic. While there's no extended version (although occasionally I use two copies on the decks to extend its length), it is just under 4mins of dancing fun. From the piano intro, to the singalong chorus, the full-on production is infectious & a great place to finish disco classics

50 disco classics to get your feet moving, no.49

Herbie Hancock. Tell Everybody (LP/12" version)

Herbie Hancock really was a musical chameleon & his various forays into disco are like all his other cross-genre experiments, fascinating. Tell Everybody is perhaps his standout dance track, with its vocoder vocals, syndrums, but also some great jazz-funk playing. I love this, it doesn't sound quite like anything else; its a stone cold classic bit of disco; joyous!

50 disco classics to get your feet moving, no.48

The Players Association. Turn the Music Up (LP/extended version)

The experienced session musicians of the Players Association knew what they were doing when they recorded this disco classic. With its shuffle rhythm, jangling guitars, burbling keyboards & insistent horn section, it assembles all the components of disco & delivers a joyous celebration of dancing & disco itself. Not ground-breaking but still great.

Friday night is disco night (in Lancaster).

If you've been enjoying my disco recommendations, then why not join me (if you're in Lancaster tonight) to hear many of these tunes played on vintage vinyl at the Stonewell Tap (Church St. Lancaster, UK) from around 8.30... it'll be four hours of disco heaven, with great artisan beers & a friendly atmosphere...
