I read this recent article on Paul Shaffer here to discover that he co-wrote this disco song titled 'It's Raining Men' that was a hit for The Weather Girls.

The Weather Girls began their music career as Two Tons Of Fun and had other hit songs such as 'Earth Can Be Just Like Heaven' and 'I Got The Feeling'.

Two Tons O' Fun also collaborated with Sylvester, with these disco hit songs 'Dance (Disco Heat)' and 'You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)'.

Sylvester has other disco hit songs on his own as well.

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)

I wouldn't call Dancing Queen disco. Summer Night City, Voulez Boys and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! wouod certainly qualify.

Well. Since i posted that song earlier in this thread. I disagree.

 

What a kick ass song. I cant think of any other songs that start with the chorus as the opening line?
