Peter99 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Would you call You Know To Love Me Disco, Pedro? Searling played that at Wigan in 1979/80. More of a stepper, innit? Ay up mate. Yep, you're right - I don't think half of what has been posted is necessarily disco - I did ask the question! I guess the ones I posted I posted because of their release date - and just an excuse to air some nice records. Peter 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Tongue in cheek, check out some of the Blackpool Mecca CD compilations and you will find some disco tunes. Here's a few others worth checking out for the high soul content... Jesse Green - Nice And Slow Tony Etoria - I Can Prove It Sunny - Doctors Orders Moments And Whatnauts - Girls La Belle Epoque - Black Is Black 5,000 Volts - I'm On Fire Blackbyrds - Walking In Rhythm George Mc Crae - Rock Your Baby Also, check out the pop charts for 1978-1979 as there's a few decent acts amongst the dross.

Frankie Crocker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Best disco act I ever saw was by the Wigan locals at the Saturday eve bop before 1.00 a.m. chucking out time - anyone whiling away a few hours before the main event would see half a dozen shaggy haired lads throw beer at each other then drop their trousers and stumble around on the dance floor to Carl Douglas' Kung Fu Fighting...

Ljblanken Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Never thought of Sister Sledge "Love Don't Go Through No Changes" as being Disco, always thought it was a 70's Soul record. Thought of things like "Disco Inferno" by Trammps to be Disco! "Hold Back The Night" as a 70's Soul record! Whats the difference between a Soul record made in the 70's and Disco? dude - your guess is as good as mine. let's put it this way, 5 years ago i had never even heard anything from after 1972 (i was in diapers in the 70s, and up until a few years ago only listened to gritty 60s stuff). to my ears, things like pointer sisters "send him back" and sister sledge "love don't go..." sound super disco (and i really like them now!), but maybe i am way off base calling them disco. anyway, i am just enjoying all the tunes people are putting up!

Ian Parker Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If it made the charts, it's 'disco' If it didn't make the charts, it's called 'soul'. It's all contradictory and self opinions as far as I'm aware.... For example, don't leave me this way, is a fine record! but some would call is disco, some would call it a soul record (which , indeed it is) I call it 70s soul. But the novelty records and the bee gees etc were bandwagon jumpers. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thought of things like "Disco Inferno" by Trammps to be Disco! "Hold Back The Night" as a 70's Soul record! Whats the difference between a Soul record made in the 70's and Disco? I think Disco has many meaning to different people. I used to love the music played at our disco so I called it disco music, this meant old Motown classics, Sex Machine, Band Of Gold type oldies, plus the latest release like the aformentioned Trammps and Hamilton Bohannon, stuff like that. But when it became a genre of it's own with horrors like Instant Replay and Born To Be Alive, thats where the lines start to blur - so if people ask "do you like disco", it's a very big no because it reminds me of 1978 to 80 when disco was the very antethisis of all we liked about soul music, especially Northrn Soul Edited October 19, 2013 by Pete S 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Derek Pearson Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 No where near blatant disco like Anita Ward "Ring my bell" but I seem to recall this epic tune unbelievably being derided as discoshite by some at the time of release. Got a lot of modern room plays and rightly so before it charted. And it still sounds rather wonderful today even after all these years. Now that's what you call a proper singer. Throughout his career he's dropped some massive tunes along the way. And that's just given me an idea for a separate thread. Derek Oh and Sooty beat me to it - damn - but Evelyn King's "Shame" was the first 12" I ever bought as a new release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KraIB1z0aac 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
