    The first Samba Soul is one of the best. Vincentico Valdez has a couple, too. Check out his self-titled, also from '77, which has a oft-covered bolero tune (the title escapes me at the moment) done in disco funk style with Moog bass and a breakdown

    One of my favs is Jean Carn's Version of You Light Up My Life. Kinda more uptempo Philly Soul/Funk.

    I've got a soft spot for the Terry Callier disco version of "Do It Again".

    Amii Stewart's "Knock on Wood" is an obvious one...

    added to the boner pile

    harold melvin & the blue notes "for your love"

    shit sandwich

    someone does a fucking awful version of "time of the season"

    many terrible version of "another one bites the dust" come on, how can you mess that up?

    worst ever




    Snatch "another brick in the wall"



    VERY WORST


    claudia berry "for your love"

    best disco cover - LOS OMNI 'le freak' mexican disco version of american disco. much better than the original.

    I think Worst Disco Covers is deserving of a thread of its own.

    All those disco-ized versions of classical music and TV theme songs, etc.

    Icky-face.



    And this "I Can't Stand the Rain" cover (by Eruption with Precious Wilson) is pretty sad but I hear some sampling potential.

    How bout those Charanga versions of Good Times and Ain't No Stopping Us Now.
    Ronnie Jones - Under My Thumb
    The vocals kinda blow, however.

    If I played this out I would become embarassed very quickly. I hate that chord change so much...you know the one i mean.

    but what are your feelings about the "disco-ized" violin cover of the classic organ solo?

    gotta say you are way off on this one! it's a dope pink floyd cover that always works on the dancefloor.

    any Risco Connection tune is basically a killer reggae disco version of the original..."ain't not stopping us now", "i'm caught up", etc.

    to call that the worst ever is akin to collecting waylon jennings LPs , a.k.a.
