Sly & The Family Stone's "Dynamite" - Could This Be The First Disco Song Ever?

Rev. Graham's bassline in this song seems to be the brick in which Giorgio Mordoder and them laid their foundation on.

A great song from a most underated album but I would have to say that Dance To The Music would have been a better choice.

Great track/album.

Jane is a Groupee, Life & Love City are probably my favorites.

Regarding the question, according to the site, a "Disco" era DJ took a poll of 1200 other DJs of the period and this is what they came up with.
