TOP TEN DISCO SONGS (1975 to 1980):
The disco movement had occupied a considerable period of our adolescent life. Disco was not merely about a distinctive style of music, it also came together with a recognisable fashion idiosyncrasies. The afro hairdo, platform shoes, and tight fitting shirts with oversized collars . The film that best capture the image of this era was probably the musical hit called Saturday Night Fever, starring the young John Travolta. But as the seventies wound down, so did Disco. By the early eighties Disco was no longer fashionable as the youngsters ushered in the era of punk rock and the 'new wave'. For whatever it's worth, here are some of the disco tunes we were familiar with:
10. Play that funky music (Wild Cherry)
9. That's the way (I like it) [KC and the Sunshine Band]
8. Ring My Bell (Anita Ward)
7. Rasputin (Boney M)
6. Last Dance (Donna Summer)
5. Dont stop till you get enough (Michael Jackson)
4. Funkytown (Lipps Inc)
3. Le Freak (Chic)
2. Boogie Wonderland (Earth, Wind and Fire)
1. Stayin' Alive (Bee Gees)
Honourable Mention:
Too many tunes to list here, from so many artists of the late seventies, like Barry Manilow with his song called Copacabana, the Bee Gees, Earth wind and fire, Chic, Boney M, Peaches&Herbs and many more.
