Glen I know exactly what you mean. I was facing all of these College Prep classes my senior year in high school and just couldn't see how I was going to be able to do it all and play basketball along with all my other school activities and then i heard this new song by George Benson "The Greatest Love of All" and that did it for me!

Let's Get Together - Pam Todd and the love exchange.

Germany's Post Disco popularity is why we had a big hit there with Delia Renee, and our Airwave Records got a LOT more sales there than in USA from several of our releases [[Delia Renee, Linda Kendricks and others).
With this song, you can see why The German language is not at all good for singing American-style Rock or, especially Soul music. :cool:
See, Marv. We have very similar tastes -- except as regards the respective merits of two certain divas from the Brewster Projects of Detroit.Quote:
Wow! how did you find this? I haven't heard this song since probably 1978!
Yep, Glencro. “Let’s Get Together” is a nearly-lost gem from '77. I only found it on aJoe Claussell compilation about 10 years ago.Quote:
Now that's HOT
I don't think you can talk about Disco without including this song. This is one of the best of the genre right here!

How about another Patrick Adams classic :

Patrick Adams is but one of many secret talents only to be discovered within the world of disco . A small time player having fun being innovative in his own studio in NYC on his own label.
And one of the first to monkey with synthesizers:

Well, given how many disco remixes I've created in these last two years or so, it's very fair to say that I LOVE it. And here's my latest project for your [[hopeful) enjoyment, a disco remix of epic proportions. I completely rework Dan Hartman's classic "Vertigo / Relight My Fire" featuring the powerhouse vocals of Loleatta Holloway. Maybe I went slightly overboard, as this monster runs 17 1/2 minutes long [[I TOLD you it was EPIC, LOL), but once I got started I couldn't stop. Oh well, if you're looking to dance all night, you can't do worse than this. :) Enjoy!

Ricky Martin's version, which was supposed to have Anastacia on backing vocals, but ended up with the original Loleatta Holloway vocal, is quite good also!

VERTIGO /RELIGHT was one of many "peak" records of the night to choose from during that period in 1979 when it was crazy how many records there were for a DJ to choose from. So much good stuff, all at once , there was really no where for disco to go after this climatic period than down.
A few years later Dan Hartman would pass from AIDS, but not before handing James Brown a huge career resurgence with :

That was a HUGE hit for James Brown! It single-handedly revived his recording career. Prior to this one, James had started to playing small clubs around the country.

I'm feel "hungry" when some one says that "Philly Soul" is "disco music" and / or "Gamble & Huff invented disco music". Gamble himself have said many times, he don't considered things this way. They "created music you can hear and, if you want, dance to in the case of uptempo soul / r&b / funk numbers and, in addition, with a social message".
I worked as barman in a discotheque along my university student years and the music they played was very eclecthical: from "smooth jazz" and fusion in the first 1 or 1,5 hour [[Grover Washington Jr.'s "Winelight"; Crusader's "Streetlife";Richard Tee's "What A Woman Really Means"; War's "Night People"), to a whole hour of reagge with The Wailers, Gladiators, passing trough slow ones with Bee Gees, Barbra Streisand, Peaches & Herb,... and of course, the uptempo numbers of the first 80's, from Salsoul classics [[Joe Battan's "Rap-O-Clap-O", Skyy, Logg,...) to Mike Oldfield's "Five Miles Out" and "Family Man", Trammp's "Hard Rock & Disco", Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jnr.'s "Shien On, Silver Moon" to the real 75 - 80% of the total stuff they played: stupid, brain-less, totally unsoulful, machine-sound DISCO and EURODISCO. I don't knows what is the common denominator betwen those different music and I can't find any similitude betwen "Hurry Up This Way Again" by The Stylistics and "D.I.S.C.O." by Otawan, except both were played in the same place in a same session...
BTW, here's a list of [[IMHO) uptempo, high energy, bombastic SOUL tracks that I can play on a friendly party or, if I were a DJ, to fill the dancefloor, with tasteful and soulful ones:
- "You Ought To Be Dancin'" - People's Choice
- "Soul Bones" - Trammps
- "Disco Lights" - Dexter Wansel
- "I Got My Mind Made Up" - Instant Funk
- "Runaway" - Salsoul Orchestra feat. Loleatta Holloway
- "Ai No Corrida" - Quincy Jones
- "Stomp" - Brothers Johnson
- "Give Me The Night" - George Benson
- "Only You" - Teddy Pendergrass
- "Put Our Heads Together" - O'jays
- "Spread Love" - Al Hudson & The Soul Partners
- "Baby, I'm Still Be The Same Man" - James Wells
- "A Dance Fantasy" - Montana
- "One For The Money" - Whispers
- "Summertime [[And I Feel Mellow)" - MFSB
- "We Got The Time" - MFSB
- "Chocolate Chip" - Isaac Hayes
- "Disco Connection" - Isaac Hayes Movement
- ...
[[and I can to name some hundreds more...!)

I did not realize that this team had worked with sister sledge. One song only ? This would be before they hooked up with chic. I wonder then did sister sledge go to Germany to record this ?
Levay and kunze are best known for creating silver convention with songs like FLY ROBIN FLY
Although this one came out in '83, I swear they played this for at least 10 years in Detroit Clubs back in the day.........
