The ''Disco'' Era

The'Disco Era' did it for me. Dance hit after dance hit after dance hit! Any musical number that could make a crowd get up and dance, became a hit.  It was a dance era that was spectacular and electrifying!  With that in mind I think I'll turn on my rotating disco ball, slip into my patchwork vest and matching jeans, cork-heeled shoes, and psychedelic popcorn-style shirt, and DANCE to hits like.


I WILL SURVIVE by the incomparable Gloria Gaynor.  This song creeps up on you with.'at first I was afraid, I was petrified.' And increases to a steady beat.'and so you're back, from outer space.' By now you're ready to get up when the beat continues to increase.'go on now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore.' The finale ends with.'Oh, no not I, I will survive, Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.' And the rest, folks, is history, selling over fourteen million copies.


THE HUSTLE by Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony. This hit single was released in 1975.  It became an international hit, selling approximately 8 million copies.  People everywhere were doing a dance, ironically called, 'The Hustle.'  The song and dance made history with its'Do The Hustle!' shout echoing on thousands of dance floors.


RING MY BELL by Anita Ward. As luck would have it, Ward created a dancing frenzy with this hit song.'You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell, ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it!'


NIGHT FEVER by the swooning Bee Gees.  This song has a smooth beat and is an impeccable dance song.  Yes, we do know how to do it with'the night fever, night fever, we know how to show it.'


LADY MARMALADE by Patti Labelle(the remake of the song is as equally good). With vocal cords like Patti's, what else do you need? I am still trying to correctly pronounce the lyrics'voules vous coucher avec moi ce soir.'


DON'T STOP'TIL YOU GET ENOUGH by the King of Pop himself, Michale Jackson! This song and dance hit was part of the  beginning of a never-ending array of hit songs for Michael.  He took the world by storm and gained as much star-status as Elvis Presley. Elvis swiveled his hips and sang into the hearts of millions. Michael'Moonwalked' his dance-style and songs into the hearts of millions with hits like Beat It, Billie Jean, and his chart-topping, best selling album'Off The Wall.'


ALL NIGHT LONG(All Night) by Lionel Ritchie. A 1983 musical dance explosion! Ritchie became one of the most succesful male solo artists of the 80's. This was one of his chart-topping hits.  'Well my friends the time has come, to raise the roof and have some fun. Throw away the work to be done, Let the music play on.Everybody sing, everybody dance, Lose yourself in wild romance.We're going to Parti', Karamu', Fiesta, forever.All night long(all night), All night long(all night)!


DANCE MAGIC by David Bowie. I don't know exactly why, but there's a beat to this song that is somewhat soothing to the ear.  I first heard this song in the movie'The Labyrinth, ' and from that point on, I have enjoyed listening to Bowie's music.


AND THE BEAT GOES ON by The Whispers a dynamic singing sensation, with twin brothers Walter and Wallace Scott. One of their biggest hit songs.  Very soothing and dance-worthy.


Honorable mentions include: Stayin' Alive/You Should Be Dancing(The Bee Gees), Dance to the Music(Sly & the Family Stone), That's the way(I Like It) by Kc & the Sunshine Band, Last Dance(Donna Summer), Y.M.C.A.(Village People), Celebration(Kool & The Gang), and more.
