    Just for fun, i'll try:

    Disco Inferno - The Trammps

    The Groove Line - Heatwave

    Well I don't know how ballsy he sounds, but there's Ray Simpson of G.Q. singing Disco Nights.

    Man, you will go hungry tonight. I just can't come up with more than one!

    I'm gonna get into a LOT of trouble here, but I think maybe a reason most European disco producers concentrated on the beat instead of the rhythm is because they are..uh..Anglo European. One exception I can think of is Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and some of the early records they did for Donna Summer like "Love To Love You baby", and "Winter Melody". They had very strong bass lines.

    Perhaps what's necessary is a differentiation between Disco & Eurodisco. As the various world wide opinions indicate, all "Disco" music IS NOT created equally, nor do they seem to consist of the same components or sensibilities.
    I've been sating this for decades, but you can't tell it to the rock snobs.
