Another great one by Dan Hartman. I believe he was lost to aids. He will always be remembered for:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlCNHZjZ5G4
A lot of these tunes were backed up by a full orchestra, the clothes were a hoot and everyone had lots of FUN !!!

To those of us in NYC, this one by Odyssey, another all-time classic, became almost an anthem at the time. Listening to the lyrics now is particularly poignant and bittersweet and oh, so relevant to NYC life in the 70s. Indeed, where did all those yesterdays go?

Your link in #9 was the very first disco song to hit #1 on the charts, in 1974.
Here's one by the great Jimmy Ruffin. It was always heaven when it came on around 6 A.M.:

I do love some disco! I was too young to actually experience any of the clubs back in the day (born in '66), but I listened to it on the radio and bought it on vinyl. Of course, we didn't call them 'vinyl' back then... just records, albums, or singles. Last winter, a group of us had a 70's / disco party. The clothes, the music (much of it forgotten by many until then), and the dances were a blast. Everybody had a great time. Many of the older guys were very sentimental over the carefree fun of the disco era. I often wish that I had been a bit older to actually go to clubs when it was still being played. Then I remember that I most likely wouldn't be alive today if I'd been of going-out age back then. Still, there's a lot of fun to be had from disco.

Edfu,
I liked it. I also understand the sentiment. But on an upbeat note, don't forget:

In 1971 a college friend of mine left the confines of North Carolina and went to NEW York, the BIG APPLE. There he lived in a sucession of cheap apartments with various roommates. In one apartment his roommate was Randy Jones, a graduate of The North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston Salem. Randy had also gone to the BIG APPLE to make his way in the world. One day he auditioned for a new group that was forming called THE VILLAGE PEOPLE. He became the cowboy.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wc-AQJ2MYo
Randy is still alive and well and busy.
Fred, my friend with whom Randy liived was the first person I knew to have AIDS. He was hospitalized in 1983 and died a few years later.

I like how Pet Shop Boys remade "Go West". Where the original was sincerely idealistic in its depiction of a utopia, the Pet Shop Boys version, characteristic of the band, introduced a layer of subtext — here, sadness and a hopeless optimism, inspired by the aftermath of the AIDS pandemic of the 1980s and how it had affected the supposed utopia of the original version.

I've always really liked that one, too. In fact, it was one of the first 12" singles that I bought over 30 years ago. I still have that (along with every other recording I've ever acquired). Amii did a few really good covers in addition to that one. Here's another: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6zNnViXYw4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6zNnViXYw4).

A sad loss indeed, Veritas. She never got the recognition that was due to her.
I love "Can You Handle It," I first heard it back in 92 or 93 when it was remixed by DNA and became a minor hit in the UK. It's one of those late disco - early House tracks that really gets you going. A true diva she was.

This thread has been lot of fun, listening to the hits of the past. Brought back some unforgettable memories. Unfortunately and sadly, I am also reminded, that most of the people, that I partied with throughout the 70's and 80's have all passed on now.
I used to help a friend of mine run the light show on occasion at a club in Buffalo. I remember all the flyers going out about the music and this high-tech light show, that he and his partner had invested in. Supposedly one of the best light shows around.
I was going through some paper work the other day, and came across my friends Obituary. He passed on in February of 1999. ( My partner( ED) also knew him) , he used to visit us here in Florida. Hard to believe it's been almost 10 years.

I feel exactly the way you do. As much as I enjoy hearing all these wonderful songs, many of them also cause me to feel a deep melancholy and sadness, particularly, of course, when a particular number is associated in my mind with someone who is no longer with us. There are so many, so many. The disco queens of the 70s were the generation of gay men that were hit the hardest; they were infected before any of us knew anything was happening, and they were the first to go--an entire generation almost completely wiped out. We must continue to enjoy the music that at the time inspired our feelings of brotherhood to never-before heights, but we must also never forget. R.I.P.
Indeed, don't leave me this way:

Ed,
That article tells it all. Your quote:
"We must continue to enjoy the music that at the time inspired our feelings of brotherhood to never-before heights, but we must also never forget. R.I.P."
Well said ! The gay community made great strides in those days with a genre that captivated the world. Everyone just got along and had fun doing it .
So yes, let's continue to enjoy the music ( I hope youtube allows this version to play since it was stopped in my first post in this thread):

It's 7:45 A.M. here on the east coast and time for some morning music. There were many attempts to take a Broadway-musical song, give it a disco arrangement, and use a performer not normally considered a disco singer. This is my favorite: the gay Cole Porter and gay Johnny Mathis. It was a great favorite at the Saint at about this hour, and IMHO it's quite beautiful:

I remember being 10 years old and sitting in front of the radio for hours with my cassette recorder, microphone in hand, waiting for this song to play. Now kids click a button and get their music. Back in the day if you didn't have money and loved music you sat by the radio with your microphone, listened to Casey Kasem's America's Top 40 and prayed he didn't talk over the song.

In my opinion no disco list would be complete without Donna Summer's "I Feel Love". My father bought the song and we sat there together with the hi-fi cranked up thinking "this is the future". It was hypnotic mix of computers, passion and coolness. I was totally blown away.

The first big city gay disco I ever went to was in San Francisco in 1985. I can't remember the name of the place. Not the Stud or DV8, which werent disco and more like the bar/clubs I knew in New York from my teens, which werent gay - Mudd, Danceteria, etc.
I went to that gay disco thinking I was slumming - to go see the old fags, basically. It was empty as hell. Then quite late a bunch of leather queens showed up and then the fan dancers. The fan dancers were INCREDIBLE, something I'd never seen in NY cause I was downtown and post 54.
I'd now kinda like to become fabulous and tawdry fan dancer for my 50's. I'm sure I could scare quite a few twinkies - like I was shocked when I was one myself.

Richard,
Are you kidding? ----thats great . The place was wild and the party did seem like it would go on forever.
Were you a regular ? I made it there a couple of times when I visited NYC. Those days were incredible.
What are the chances that you would be photographed at 54 and then be put in a video seen almost 30yrs later? Amazing!
When does the next one open? lol

V,
It is very difficult to describe the experience of Studio 54. It was the perfect storm of disco music, the drug culture, sexual inhibition and expression, economic excesses, and the right people at the right time in the right place. I attended nightly as I sold Ecstasy in the back by the water fountain. It was an intimate ambiance as the majority of patrons were regulars, a lot like being in your own (very large) living room.
I don't think there will ever be another, as a large part of the above mentioned mix was innocence and excess, both of which (i believe) are gone forever.
Thanks to everyone for sharing the music.
Take care,
Richard
