Not THIS version. This one is even more FUNKIER than the single Motown released. That fucking chorus is bananas and Diana's vocals sound as if she came from the underground than the posh lifestyle she was living.

"GET OUT! GET AWAY FROM HERE!"

Had me dancin' silly a minute ago.

Oh no, not Millie. She makes everybody else look like a choirboy. Yo mama knew what was up.

I remember my mother and aunt going to see Millie and when they came home everyone was shocked and titillated at her raunchy ass show. I was sneaking round the corner, breaking my neck to overhear them retelling what happened at the show. Then outta nowhere a shoe came around the corner and my mother told me to take my nosy ass to bed.

It's been said that straight white dudes didn't do disco. Tell THAT to The Brothers Gibb No disco themed post is complete w/o them.

Millie's my mama's favorite too. One day, I gotta find me some Millie and give her a CD.

Anyway, more DISCO FUNK:



Strings BE DAMNED!

This is my favorite by them. Can someone explain why Tavares also had a version on the soundtrack? That never made sense to me.

Dunno, but I always liked their version better.

This may be the 1st real recognizable disco tune. Whatever it is, it's still killer. Dig The Three Degrees and MFSB doing TSOP:

Disco's origins go back to at least 1973. I always believed this was one of the first real disco joints:

Timmy84 said:

Okay, thanks!!

Speaking of First Choice, I always dug this joint. They were Philly's answer to Detroit's Martha & the Vandellas as First Choice was the answer to the Supremes!

SCNDLS, where did you live before moving to the US? I forgot

Ya'll reminded me when my oldest brother was 13 and went on a field trip and came back with the Snoop Doog Doggystyle cassette

my mom saw the cover and the comic strip inside and blew up! She told him "You can have the tape, but not the cover" and proceeded the tear it up into little pieces

My brothers stayed testing my mother, especially when they started buying No Limit Records CD, especially this one

Timmy84 said:

I have an uncle, who loves this record. I remember the day he came over to my house as a kid. He played this record to death. In fact, some years back, he got that song "Dangerous on the dance floor", only because it contains the sample of "Dangerous On the Dance Floor".

shorttrini said:

No prob.

shorttrini said:

Haha, did it sample the First Choice original?

THE PLAYER:

Another First Choice classic, only this time under the now-infamous FRANKIE KNUCKLES MIX:

Oh, Lawd! Now that reminds me of the scene in Mo Better Blues where Spike Lee says his mama whupped his brother's ass for putting a Betty and Veronica comic on their wall.

I came from Panama at the age of 7 the summer of 1980. Lots of music, even disco, was still playing on the radio. I remember Off the Wall staying on heavy rotation that summer.
