Profile: Many thanks to Steve Dahl for organising this Event in 1979;

It made us all realize how great, wonderful and powerful DISCO was!
But most of all we realized Disco would never DIE!!!

Is there any dance genre better than Disco?

I say the closer to the source, the better the quality. Dance music started out with Disco, and there isn't any other dance music genre who delivers to same energy, vibe, complicity, & artistic freedom, in other words quality, as Disco does.

In the first place, I'm a collector. There is so much to Discover out there. I spin as well.

My main goal is to preach the word of the Disco Lord to all of you! :)

Don't get caught not doing what you gotta do!

Please ban re-issues, re-presses, & re-releases!!!
Respect the original, it's called original for a reason.

Thank you,

Dysco Souljah (read Disco Soldier)

Saint & Stephanie - Last Train To The Boogie / Hollywood Lament - 18-Nov-09 04:02 AM
Saint & Stephanie? I was looking at this record in a dodgy London basement. When I spotted the Michael Zager credits, I decide to put in the bag.

At home I found out it was the best catch of the day. What a record! The variation is vocal arrangements is stunning. The train sounds make you shiver, and the chorus is just plain simple perfect!!!
I dont know much about the group, but I will never forget this great Disco tune. I always play it near the end of a set, as a last warning to get your butt on the dancefloor. Last train to the boogie!
Great stuff, perfectly put together, and unforgettable.

Feel that vibe!

Philly Devotions - I Just Can't Say Goodbye - 09-Sep-09 04:53 AM
"I Just Cant Say Goodbye" to this track. Its been in my head ever since the first time I heard it. Its one of those songs you never get tired hearing. But then again, if John Davis is arranging it, and Tom Moulton is mixing it, what can you expect?

Sampled many times in 90s house records, the original is still unbeatable. That nasal voice and those lucious string arrangements work for me every time again. Great, great, great stuff!

Whispers, The - And The Beat Goes On / Can You Do The Boogie - 18-Aug-09 04:43 AM
Although millions of people all over the world have been getting down to "And the beat goes on", and although this is a great song and all-time classic, I want to take a minute here to talk about the flip side; "Can you do the boogie".

Written by Solars main man Dick Griffey"s wife Carrie Lucas, this is a pur sang Disco track. It has everything to make a crowd scream and jump for more. I have played it a several occasions with the same response as ever. The variations, the break, the vocal arrangements, the uptempo verses, the bassline, oh my God, this song makes me shiver every single time.

First the bass line captures you, and then before you know, the lyrics; "All I wanna do, is have a party". Hey, I wanna have party too! "Now is the time, close your eyes, the night belongs to you". This song makes you just wanna go to the Disco.

It is a great party song, it is a tribute to a culture of going out and getting down. It is perfect. I love it.

Lorraine Johnson - Learning To Dance All Over Again - 30-Apr-09 08:04 AM
Oh boy, what an album!

Did you know that this was probably the first album in the history were the singer is not represented by the person on the cover? Nevertheless this mannequin looks very fine as well!

What to say about the music? "Feed The Flame" has to be a favourite of many of us. What a track! Listen to the violins playing that magical melody. Then, there is the break, with just drums and choir... Feed the flame...
Great stuff!

If you want to school a person on Disco, this release is a great tool. It has everything a great Disco record needs, combined with fantastic and powerful vocals.

Well done, Lorraine!

Thanks a million

Robin Beck - Sweet Talk - 08-Apr-09 12:39 AM
Robin Beck? Never heard of her before. Lets check out this vinyl. That was what I was thinking going through a sellers crates. Judging on the label, the year, and the producer, I gave it a try.

The man behind all this is Kenny Lehman, who we all now from the first Chic productions, and of course Lemon!
"Sweet talk" is a great song. It makes a perfect bridge between late 70s funky disco and that early 80s synth-pop. In my opinion, this song is a classic.

Ill let you sweet-talk, right back me, Now youre sweet-talkin someone new... The lyrics are fresh, and cunning. Great stuff! The chorus flows seemingly over in the verses and vice versa. I really like the changes in tempo, and of course Robins sweet voice.

Truly recommended!
