1970s Gay Dance Floor

[East]

The Game Changers....usually when a song was hot..you get 10000 more in a row with the same basic formula.....and when you work in a dance club every night..it gets tiring..so these songs were ones that were really different at the time..and changed it up ...made it nice to listen to new stuff.....

1979 ....LIPPS INC - Funkytown




1981....Human League- Don't You Want Me




1987 .... Pet Shop Boys - .It's A Sin




1988 ....Annie Lennox - I Need A Man




1981 ...Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper

1976 .... The Trammps - Disco Inferno




1977...Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way (REALLY POPULAR..played every night for years)

I saw a bunch of pictures of old friends my age at parties with a lot of the peole who are singing in this thread.,..including these ones....

I keep wondering if I would kinda like to go...It looks like fun in the pics and it would be kinda cool to meet some of them and hang out...gay parties and clubs ....I kinda miss it.....and they all seem to be my age LOL

1978...Pattie Brooks - After Dark




1981 ....Phyllis Nelson - Don't Stop The Train




1979 ...Phyllis Hyman - You Know How To Love Me (and I loved her....a lot. It sucked when she committed suicide..one of the factors was when she spent time in the hospiital with some of her gay friends..it depressed her and also she was upset none of the family came for so many of them...I "get" it...and I was sad when she left the building. A lot of Gay Men loved her)




1980 ...Viola Wills - If You Could Read My Mind (VERY POPULAR...for a long tiem..in pretty much every club)




1980 .....Geraldine Hunt .... Can't Fake The Feeing




1979 ... Patrice Rushen - Haven't You Heard

1982 ....Boystown Gang - Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (LOVE the dancing..and I can't turn away...mesmerizing...)




1981 ...Boystown Gang - Remember Me/Aint' No Mountain High Enough (The record I played the most when I DJed)

I had the pleasure of growing up in the 70s and 80s. I can remember quite vividly me and my friends listening to the likes of ABBA, Donna Summer, Patti LaBelle, The Bee Gees, and more. In the 80s it was The Pet Shop Boys, Alphaville, Culture Club and Elton John. Love reliving the memories!
