    "What A Difference A Day Makes" - Esther Phillips

    I don't hear a disco influence in "Who Are You" by the Who at all; sounds like a straight-ahead rock number to me.

    Call Me - Blondie (plus LLame (spanish version on salsoul)

    As far as Rolling Stones' disco songs, I always preffered "Dance" over "Miss You".

    David Bowie "Golden Years" + "Fashion"

    Perhaps the latter is a little too new wave-y for the straight disco heads but it still has the feel.

    these threads.... always show me some peoples misconceptions of what disco is.



    how some of yall arrive at shit like the who, is just plain dumb. your ears are broke.
    yea i said it.

    "disco drums"....OPEN hi hat after the kick, most times with no snare.. or the snare is low in the mix.
    not really toto.
    that shits no disco break.


    what is disco.

    Moreover, what is a disco artist?

    Most disco is just straight up R&B

    most of the crossover is from rock acts

    And how the hell is CHICAGO "STREET PLAYER" not mentioned here?!?!?

    Soulstut always messes it up when it comes to disco... :sigh:
