How come we haven't got a disco music thread?

Thanks, East, I would have looked some up myself, but better if you did. I was not a specially aware Pet Shop Boy connoisseur, as for Boy George, I don't know much apart from Karma Chameleon and the famous Do You Really Want To Hurt Me (not really disco rhythm but very popular in its time).

The only 12" I have of Boy George and the only one I ever heard played int he club is this one....

Crying Game




Ooops....i forgot Church of the Poisoned Mind...played that alot...

Some late disco era music I remember from the youth club disco's :biggrin:

[princealbertofb]

All good ones, BookWorm, all good ones! Thanks. I loved Odyssey, especially Native New Yorker which I discovered when I went to England; 1979, was it?

You know what is sad PA? Alot of the people we have posted here have died since we posted...I can think of a few offhand that have died in the past six months...Loleatta Hollaway, Boney M, Teena Marie...and now yesterday we lost Nick Ashford. I really loved that guy alot. He was 1/2 of one of the greatest songwriting teams ever (Aint No Mountain High Enough/I'm Every Woman/LOTS of others too numerous to list) and I loved to watch his perform with his wife...I have everything they ever recorded in my vinyl collection. I thought him and Valerie were a sexy couple...

RIP Nick

Yes they were sexy and sang quite well too. Knew a good riff and a catchy beat. RIP, Nick...

From 1987/87, I wasn't out at the time, but talked to a few older gay guys who told me this was big in the gay clubs.

"Boy Toy" by Tia.

Video isn't so great, but I love the song.
