obscure songs from the disco days you remember

[3970]

we all know YMCA and I Will Survive but what about the more obscure songs that were huge club hits?

"Glad To Know You" Chas & Jankel
This was a big club song back in the Disco days. The piano and organ were insanely catchy. How many songs have ever had keyboard parts THAT catchy? I have a 12 inch of that


"Lover's Holiday" Change
The beat, the guitars, and the synthesizers. A very cool song that I always liked. No 12 inch, but my sister had the album in college

"Vertigo/Relight My Fire" Dan Hartman
I have a 12 inch of this song I found at a record show The first part is Vertigo and it has this pounding back beat and big grandiose keyboard parts.

"Wikka Rap" The Evasions This is a really rare tune, I have a cassette with it on it. The singer was imitating the guy from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and making fun of funk music. I suppose it was a joke record like Disco Duck was but it was very catchy.

"Slide" Slave I have this on a funk CD. I miss the old days of big horn sections. Can't find horn sections on any new songs.

Loleatta Holloway - Hit N' Run
This is one of my favorite tracks from Ms. Holloway which has not been oversampled/remade in recent years. The 12" mix of this was absolutely epic. And Loleatta just brought it on this one.

More to come later.

Sweet! Does anybody remember Keep on Dancin' by Gary's Gang? Back in New York when Disco 92 was on the radio I heard it nonstop.

How about Crank It Up by Peter Brown which was released a year after Dance With Me

"Song from M*A*S*H" by the New Marketts. This was a discofied instrumental version of the "Suicide is Painless" theme. Anybody recall that one?

I think it was a minor AC hit in the mid-'70s, and perhaps spun in some clubs, but it was pretty unknown.

In case anybody's wondering - yes, the New Marketts were a re-creation of the Marketts - the '60s surf-rock band.
