Ritchie Family "Best Disco In Town"

[620 Soul Train]

I've been spinning this song lately day after day. Thanks to XM Chrome (disco/dance classic channel) I never would have heard of this, really. This was one fo the first mainstream disco records to ever make the Pop charts. By listening to this you can tell that these ladies are from Philly. Group was named after producer Ritchie Rome. The 1982 line-up was totally different.

1976

released in 1976 this is a great example of the early disco years . the song featured a medley of previous disco hits as well as a 60's Motown song and one of their own songs . medleys became a thing in the early 80's so in away this was before it's time.this is the extended version with a few extra songs . there was a longer version but it repeated the songs again.
