Also by Stewart. The Letter. Better than the original, IMO.

Look out for "Jealousy", also by Stewart.

She was very young and beautiful at the time these were made, and a good dancer too!

 
Someone wrote that Disco is the closest thing we have to "gay music". I have to agree.

Here is another flawless classic. Disco is right up there with vacuum cleaners and Joan Crawford as one of my favorite things!

 
The first time I heard There But For the Grace of God,I was at The Pink Hippopotamis(The Hippo)at Charles and Eager Streets on top of one of the tall speakers topless with my "Daisy Dukes" on,a turquoise bandanna wrapped around my head and a long(2") red flickering light ear ring whirling,hopping and twirling uncontrolably until the music stopped.I still Have that 12" on CD along with hundreds of songs from that era."Menergy",Rocket to Your Heart","Harmony","High Energy","Right on Target"and "P.A.S.S.I.O.N." are all fabulous songs that would litteraly pull me right on to the dance floor like a brand new 1958 Electrolux on full blast.I could be conversing with the most gorgious guy in the club.But,if one of those songs started blasting,I'd be the first to run not walk onto the floor to whirl and twirl!Sometimes,Chuck Parsons(the D.J.at the Hippo for decades)would tease me while getting ready to switch tunes and I'd run out to find him playing a different song then the one he had previously tempted me to dance to.He'd always wait untill my arival to play my favorite tunes!I miss that era more than any other time of my life.I was well liked,popular and happy.
 
Anybody here remember "Red Light Lover","Sinderella","Do Ya Wanna Funk?",Den Harro,"Mother Africa","The Hills of Katmando","Jump Shout","Homosexuality"or "Love in the Shadows"?
I loved Den harrow's songs all about automation and dance.I used to have the double 12"album"The Hills of Katmandu"but lost it probably forever.It was one of my favorites because every song had its own rhythm and the words were real sooyhing to my soul.
 
The good version

This song was redone by Beyonce for Dreamgirls. Scherrie Payne did the original recording and in this excerpt from Dreamgirls, Scherrie is lip syncing the 80's rendition.

 
This one is

BEFORE Toggles was jailbait! Anyone remember it? From 1979. I just love all the throwback from the past. This thread has really jogged my memory.

 
summer 1979

Wow,what great memories I believe life was much more fun for our generation then the teenagers of today.I was 16 and had a 69 camaro and would go rollerskating at Valley forge skating center from 12 to 2 and eat breakfast watching the sun rise with all my friends.
 
oh my dear....

can't say where i first heard it....boston-boston? buddies? darts? haven't thought about those places in a long time. i know i still own the disc. i did like that song.
 
Disco 104 in San Franscisco, Launderess

Not a place, but a radio station, 24/7 disco music! Was just wonderful when I first moved there in 1978. One of my favorites was Grace Jones, "I need a man" first heard that at DOK West in Garden Grove California.

But the link I chose I think hits a little closer to our group here. Enjoy! And yes, I do still have the 12" LP of it!

 
DOK WEST!!

OMG!! That brings back memoies Ironite. I definitely remember that place and actually almost forgot about it. I had a friend that moved from the San Fernando Valley down to Orange County and we used to go there when I went to spend the weekend with him. There was another bar that I forgot the name of that was close to Beach Bl and Garden Grove Bl. Went there too. I do remember them playing the disco Lucy song.
 
Garden Grove at one point actually had more gay bars than West Hollywood! Among others: Rumor Hazzit, Tiki Hut, The Mug, Iron Spur, Old Bavarian Inn, Knotty Keg, Hound's Tooth, The Ranger, Saddle Club etc. Rumor Hazzit was my favorite in that area.. It had a great layout with a great dance floor, but you could still sit away from the action and have a conversation without yelling to one another.
