Footloose

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.

Can still cut a rug and make the youngins cry.

these might not be the actual titles

Boogie Oogie Dancing Shoes
Greatest Dancer -Chic
Ring My Bell
Last Dance - Donna Summer

Chic songs come to mind too. Everybody Dance. Btw Greatest Dancer was actually Sister Sledge, but it's the music of that great team of Edwards and Rodgers, so same diff. Also liked You Make Me Feel (Sylvester).

(with Brooklyn Dreams!)

song and Donna.

ScoutHikerDay. Put on that leisure suit and join us down at the club.

I remember reading that very disturbing book from my mother's shelf in the 70's, and seeing the movie years later. I don't like much disco, but a handful of songs still sound great decades later. I was just a kid then, so never owned a leisure suit (though my 1st grade class pic circa '71 shows me in flowery pants and little zip-up boots-I guess Mom wanted me to be fashionable).

11 great minutes

Damn, sometimes I wish it was 1978 again
No, bad idea

Toes tapping' as I type!

I hear it and It's 1977, and I'm watching my crush dancing a routine to this with the high school drill team.

It was hot on Saturday night.
It took a day off on Sunday.
Monday, it had passed.

Songs? Lots of stuff by the Bee Gees.

With the exception of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," I absolutely hated the entire disco era---shitty, brain-dead, shake-your-ass "music." Glad it died, hope it never comes back.

I trust I've made my feelings clear...

Disco was ok in the 70s and I really didn't care that much for it. It wasn't until the movie The Martian came out and a running gag was Mark Watney was stranded on Mars and the only music there was was commander Lewis' disco collection to listen to. The disco music provide most of the soundtrack and it was then I started liking disco.

Disco songs I like are:

Hot Stuff

Dancing Queen

That's the Way (I Like It)

selections.

Funky Town… Lipps Inc

Anita Ward

Curiously, never was a dancer (by any measure), but good times nonetheless.

dancing. Sister Sledge had a great selection of songs.

Disco was the start of machine generated music. ...to the detriment of music, musicians. and your ears.

Irene Cara. Wrote it, sang it, won an Oscar and a Grammy. One of my favorites from any era.

to having a huge crush on Donna Summers back in the day. But I never listened to her or any other disco, did not dance to it then and will not now.
Now bring out Pop Staples and his singers, let's have some soulful gospel!

YouTube search for Pop Stables and his singers. Thank you for the suggestion.

...the Village People and KC and the Sunshine Band. Great show.

It's called "Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution"

It's available online through PBS. It is a really great documentary explaining the "birth" of disco in the early 70's to it's heyday in the mid to late 70's to it's "death". It gave me a much greater appreciation for the music to learn it's full history.

That said, I didn’t mind Hues Corporation — Rock the Boat.

rock and Motown.

1. Turn The Beat Around - Vicki Sue Robinson
2. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood- Santa Esmerelda
3. Disco Inferno - The Trammps
4. Last Dance - Donna Summer
My wife & I met in a disco when these tunes were the rage.
#4 was our wedding dance tune. During tge slow intro we had dips & lifts. We really rehearsed for our reception.

lifts. It sounds like you both had fun.

...having Last Dance as our first dance!
Well, first dance as a married couple anyway. We did meet in a disco, after all.

Loved Disco Demolition Night at Comisky Park.

honesty. We all have our likes and dislikes.

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
