RushFanForever Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I'm going to provide a Canadian music history lesson. There's a pop singer named Patsy Gallant who had a #1 hit on the Canadian adult contemporary charts in 1976 titled "From New York to L.A." The song has a disco vibe to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JxN5UCAEc You can read about the origins of the song here. I wasn't aware of the song until a few years ago when I heard about it on a CBC radio special. Edited March 20, 2020 by RushFanForever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Eyes Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I don't hear a lot of disco in "Funky Music." I see it as a gimmicky funk-rock or funk-pop number that's danceable and which happened to be released during the disco era. But disco has its origins in funk among other styles so I get why some see it as a blurry line issue.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Rolling Stones - Miss You I never thought of that as a disco song. Is got a four on the floor back beat and a falsetto hook and it was released in 1978. Seems like it could reasonably qualify. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly see how it can be considered that, I just never thought about it until now. To me the song was just The Stones being The Stones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Eyes Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I like a number of disco hits from the 70s. Here's a short list off the top of my head in no particular order except the last one which I came to love waaay after the fact. Lowdown (But I feel it's more disco adjacent than died in the wool disco. Basically a masterpiece.)Dancing Queen (ABBA decides to go disco and ends up writing a song that symbolizes the genre for eternity.)Stayin' Alive (And really a bunch of others by the Bee Gees. They were titans of the form.)Disco Inferno (Unbeatable rhythmic hook, that awesome chorus with horns, and some kick-ass guitar solo licks at the end - in a disco song)More, More, More (A paean to sexed up and coked up disco excess and it's also the origin of that great "Steal My Sunshine" sample.) And my favorite... If I Can't Have You (just the best) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZVUzho-nok Edited March 19, 2020 by Three Eyes 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
