Hey Boogie, do I hear Luther?
DEVIL'S GUN under the stewardship of Motown's Dennis Coffey was #1 on the disco chart for 6 weeks!!
never saw this performance before:

what I only recently learned was that this was an extraordinary reinterpretation of the song's original release:

Tonight, 10/30, there is a documentary on PBS American Experience The War on Disco .
It explores the cultural movement that aided disco's rise and the backlash that tried to destroy it.
In NYC, it will be on PBS channel 13 at 9pm on the show AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
Just being reminded about about Madeline Bell and discovered she covered this :

if someone had wanted to bet me a million dollars in the seventies that one day this song would be used as music in an American national TV commercial ....I would be out a million bucks cause I wouldn't have hesitated to bet against that one.

It's New Year's Eve , everyone's saying goodbye to 1976 and welcoming in the arrival of 1977. Every bar in SF was playing this one that night. [I know because I was 21 and bouncing around from one to the next:p]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZhg7qVALJ0
All seemed good. It was a great night and start for the year to come.
OK now the new year has begun and the fake snow, the streamers, and glitter have mostly been swept away from the dance floors.
The Salsoul Orchestra's Christmas LP will become top priority for returns by the record stores this month.:p
If there's anything that's staler than a Christmas record in January ... it would be a disco Christmas one ...cause nothing got staler quicker than yesterday's disco.
Motown dominates as 1977 starts with three of the Top 5:
1 - DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY'/ANYWAY YOU LIKE IT -Thelma Houston
2 -FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE - Donna Summer
3 - ANOTHER STAR\ I WISH \SIR DUKE/ISN'T SHE LOVELY - Stevie Wonder
4 - OVERTURE "DON'T KEEP IT IN THE SHADOWS/ INDISCREET/0 BA BA - DC Larue-
5 - YOU'RE MY DRIVING WHEEL/LET YOURSELF GO/LOVE I NEVER KNEW - Supremes-
12 - DOWN TO LOVE TOWN - Originals

· Ashford & Simpson - Bourgie Bourgie.
https://youtu.be/QU7ZQqZ-E5s?si=YNmeGYq4zZ1jKg2c
My favourite of the three versions of Bourgie Bourgie I've heard.
an exquisite song.:cool:
Similarly with LOVES THEME, this is what I think of when I think of "swirling strings". And like LOVES THEME, lyrics only seem to water it down. None needed, which is what songwriters Ashford and Simpson apparently concluded when they released theirs without.
Are these the other two versions you are referring to Cosmic?...or do you mean other versions of the A&S one??

Mentioned on the Diana Ross forum, the inclusion of the blowing of a whistle on The Supremes BAD WEATHER.
Whistles featured in disco?
These come to mind:

Hated "Disco" until I heard this a couple of years ago. Masterpiece by the Sigma crew!

Allow me to interject for a moment with this question for the Brits here...may I ask, is there any difference between disco and what you guys call 'Modern Soul'?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a lot of Modern tracks, but some come across as bad disco tunes to me. Not criticizing anyone, as I feel, if it fills the floor, it must be good, but something like "Lady, Lady, Lady [[Are You Crazy For Me)" [[which, incidentally, I have a copy for sale or trade), just sounds like a failed disco tune.
Best,
Mark
ah OK :) I was hopeful of some new versions to discover. [this is my choice tune , the A&S one , as ambience when driving up Hwy 1 toward Monterey , light breezy and optimistic. ]
Another one that might get included on a gentle day rounding those curves with occasional ocean vistas:
