What are your favorite Disco "Classics"?

[rcgldr]

Stevie Wonder - Gotta Have You

 

[pinball1970]

Summer Night City is one of my absolute ABBA favorites (besides Eagle, which is not disco but rather progressive rock/art rock according to Wikipedia, a bit unusual for the band).

Eagle is one of my favourite ABBA tracks, just so unusual. Sad and uplifting at the same time.
Use of the flute for the eagle's cry
Brilliant.

Can we add the Club genre to this topic

 

[difalcojr]

Sure, why not? Wow, what a scene that was in that video!
This jazz group has a funky beat in some of its songs on a new album. This is the first track on a really fine album, so can this genre go in disco topic?

 

[difalcojr]

borderline disco? Heard this for first time ever yesterday. She sang lots of different styles. Made one disco album too.

Honestly unsure of what constitutes disco music but my favorite: "Stay'in Alive" by the BeeGees.

I recently concluded several months of twice weekly physical therapy where they piped popular music through ceiling speakers over the therapy tables. At the conclusion of 90+ minutes of stretches and exercises, I would rest supine on frozen bags of 'blue ice', a captive audience to their preselected music channel. The BeeGees frequently performed with "Stay'in Alive" seeming to play each time I entered this cool down phase.

I grew to like the song, indeed, found it rather inspirational. Commit to staying alive and walking.

I have heard Stay'in Alive has the proper beat for doing chest compressions.
As does Another One Bites the Dust.

Yes, a classic. It was posted by @DennisN in #22.

Right. Also medically related, surgeons train to wash and disinfect their hands to so many verses of "Stay'in Alive", though I forget how many. Certainly the sentiment seems appropriate for their patients.

Just heard a new song of the same beat. Must be that the disco beat is good for the heart.
Good to remember the disco beat for CPR, if ever needed, thanks.

I would guess that these relationships are stronger going the other way.
Music follows (imitates) body rhythms: heart beat, walking, etc. as well as movements involved in making the music of course.

Some of my favourite disco bands are:

1. THP Orchestra
2. Crown Heights Affair
3. Million Dollar Orchestra

Everyone was getting into the disco thing ... (fun fact: Pink Floyd's biggest single ever was 'Another Brick In The Wall' which featured a very disco rhythm guitar riff)

The greatest rock n roll band produced a classic disco song ...

The Rolling Stones 'Miss You'
