MFSB did for their decade what the Funk Brothers and the Wrecking Crew did in the ’60s, and an entire industry of drum machines had to be concocted just because not everybody could hire Earl Young to keep the hi-hat-heavy four-on-the-floor beat he invented and popularized. And this right here? This is their masterpiece. Sure, their backing-band rol...
One of the greatest elements of a classic disco song is drama — the highs and lows of life in general and romance in particular given the audio treatment of a Hollywood epic. And with this dagger-sharp hit from Philadelphia vocal trio First Choice, they turn the era’s platform-rocking, Eldorado-driving hustler figure into the antagonist that the la...
Anyone who dismisses disco as a singles-plus-filler genre could, like the rest of the world, benefit from hearing George McCrae’s 1974 debut album Rock Your Baby. As one of the finest interpreters of the Harry Casey/Richard Finch songbook (the same one that gave us all those KC & The Sunshine Band joints), McCrae’s first album is nothing but gold, ...
“I Will Survive” is such a cultural juggernaut that it’s considered the definitive moment of Gloria Gaynor’s career, but the fact that she notched the first #1 dance hit in Billboard’s history deserves just as much attention. Already an R&B standard just a few years after Clifton Davis wrote it and the Jackson Five had a massive hit with it, Gaynor...
What’s the actual line between funk and disco, anyways? Lord knows this one-and-done miracle by the short-lived DC-area group Banbarra — their only single, and the equivalent of hitting a walkoff grand slam in your only major league at-bat — shows you can straddle that line just so long as it makes you do the Bump. It has everything you’d want in a...
Joe Bataan was in his early thirties when his career took a fascinating new turn. A practitioner of top-tier salsa and boogaloo music in the late ’60s, he eventually left Latin music powerhouse label Fania in the early ’70s and co-founded a fledgling label that his self-coined genre would give a name: Salsoul. His first LP under the label’s banner,...
Regarded with initial suspicion in some parts by many of the same critics who came of age to Phil Spector girl-groups in the ’60s, ABBA’s later reclamation efforts came about with the help of fans, often queer, who found the kind of youthful promise and yearning in songs like “Dancing Queen” that a previous decade’s formative listeners found in the...
One of the big knocks about disco in the strictly musical sense is that it’s repetitive — which, well, yeah, that’s the fun part. That happens when the prime motivator is groove and the maintaining thereof. And groove rarely sounded more relentlessly monomaniacal than it did in the hands of Motown vet turned piston-beat wizard Hamilton Bohannon, wh...
The ether-frolic disco of “Atmosphere Strut” was almost singlehandedly the work of 26-year-old songwriter/producer/arranger/everything-elser Patrick Adams. When I say “everything else,” I mean it — he even shot the album cover photo. (The chorus, meanwhile, was a cast of assorted locals — including future Roy Ayers collaborator Sylvia Striplin.) Th...
Yes, it’s another Philly soul group-harmony cut, and a glorious one. At this point, many of the original MFSB musicians had followed arranger Vincent Montana Jr. in jumping ship to Salsoul, and Montana’s elaborate arrangements set the Salsoul Orchestra apart as, well, an orchestra instead of just a big band with strings. So that post-PIR version of...
