4.) Boogie Oogie Ooogie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFDufeQ0Uzw
It has one groovy bass line :thumbup:
I won't be able to post most of the obvious classics since YouTube blocked Germany regarding popular music.
I started off with two 'underground' disco tunes. Jackie - Under Fire is a cover version of the South African female pop band Clout who released the song the same year. I was told the Jackie version was quite popular in Colombia and Australia. American Fade originate from Canada and had a minor crossover hit in the UK with "I'm Alive".

I was reluctant to post in this thread...because in the day I HATED disco. I thought it was the end of rock and roll.
I was wrong,as usual....rock and roll will never die.
That being said-I dont consider this song "disco"-more funk...but disco is a generic term anyway...
