Everyone knows вЂAnd The Beat Goes OnвЂ™ вЂ“ a chart topper and a Grand Theft Auto favourite вЂ“ but donвЂ™t forget to flip it over the churning, bass-weight disco of вЂCan You Do The BoogieвЂ™ They might be called The Whispers but nothing about these gentlemen is quiet. The A-Side on this 12вЂі was a number 1 hit but nothing quite compares to the spectacular вЂStay FreeвЂ™. Husband-and-wife songwriting-production team Ashford & Simpson dominated the вЂ70s with their sophisticated blend of upbeat soul and righteous undercurrents.

Ashford & Simpson Found A Cure / Stay Free That post-disco, electric bassline, those chords, the background vocals that sound like theyвЂ™ve been rewound it clicks expertly with HoustonвЂ™s sizzling pipes.Д©2. This Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam-produced track proves that the duo are right up there in R&B history. Thelma Houston You Used to Hold Me So Tight Name-dropping Gucci and Fiorucci, it was also incidentally one of the first tracks to feature brand names. Check out Al FosterвЂ™s вЂSheвЂ™s The Greatest DancerвЂ™ cover (sadly not on 12вЂќ) too for the leftfield vote. Written by the Edwards/Rogers dream team for the We Are Family! album, this is still one of the biggest jams out there, and one that rightly earns its place. Sister Sledge HeвЂ™s The Greatest Dancer / We Are Family Proof you donвЂ™t need to drive fast to get noticed.Д©4. вЂFor Your LoveвЂ™ is a synth-heavy, slo-mo monster with lazy vamps and stabs to die for. вЂDance For MeвЂ™ may be a pretty straight forward disco soul jam, but the real fire here is on the B-side. Peter Brown Dance With Me / For Your Love One of any number of contenders for this list, their вЂ™77 debut Maria Fumaca has just been reissued on vinyl.Д©5. The Carioca soul merchants roll out the horns for a 12вЂќ that does disco the only way the Brazilians know how. Thank South African afro-rock outfit Harari for вЂPartyвЂ™, which resonated so loudly it made the American Disco Hot 100 in вЂ™82. ItвЂ™s a testament to the timeless nature of this groove that you might have heard it played out in more than one places. Jackson and Quicky Jones at the peak of their powers, the album has a funky undercurrent thatвЂ™s clubby, yet plenty soulful best captured вЂRock With youвЂ™ whose wickedly sly groove would be imitated but never bettered for years to come. You canвЂ™t have a disco list without some MJ and itвЂ™s got to be a slice of Off The Wall. (Side note: MFSB stands for вЂMother Father Sister BrotherвЂ™.) MFSBвЂ™s album by the same name вЂ“ which also features Soul Train theme вЂT.S.O.P.вЂ™ вЂ“ was a landmark release for the Philly soul movement.

Possible the biggest underground hit in NYCвЂ™s late вЂ™70s disco scene, for many this is the Paradise Garage anthem. (Philadelphia International Records, 1979) MFSB TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia) / Love Is The Message

The instrumental is great ammunition for your disco blends.Д©9. If its influence on samplers is anything to go by, вЂOutstandingвЂ™ is a certified classic Ice Cube, Biggie, Mary J Blidge, Madonna, Ashanti have all taken bites out of this soul boogie bomb. In treading a different path you may also find that a few widely acclaimed superstars have had to make way for some lesser known gems, but every time have sought to make the case for inclusion. Nu-disco or anything that could possibly fall under this category is therefore also out. Bollywood disco, a vast industry but almost exclusively released in LP format, is one such casualty.ДЄs far as dates go, weвЂ™re talking exclusively here about the decade between 19 (although the odd track may have been penned before or released after), and are happy to include records that sail close jazz and soul at one end and RnB, funk and boogie at the other. First up, as the original 12вЂі format, its that which weвЂ™re limiting ourselves to here, reluctantly excluding a wealth of incredible album-only tracks and 7вЂіs that frankly warrant a round-up in their own right.

And with a term as slippery as вЂњdiscoвЂќ have set a few ground rules to help you navigate the list. We are not trying to re-write the canon here, simply add to it. Fuelled by voracious selectors and intrepid reissue labels bringing back 12вЂіs from Beirut to Port Of Spain, our understanding of the genre has become all the richer. What has forever been defined by the glitter-ball aesthetic of Saturday Night Fever, has, slowly opened its arms to embrace a world of different musics, loosely connected by the idea, feel or groove of вЂњdiscoвЂќ.
