On the heels of last week's disco-inspired playlist, I put together some undeniable extended disco grooves.
First learned of the groove for "Everybody Dance" as a white label remix. Much later did I come across this original version, which is a burner. I always turned my nose up at CHIC, as being too "main stream," but now I'm a disciple of Nile Rodgers.
"There But For the Grace" - picked up this 12" shopping used records. Just a few needle drops across the omnipresent groove of this monster had the disc off the turntable and into my keep pile.
First heard "Haven't You Heard" as the hook in Kirk Franklin's "Looking For You." Love that track. Love this track.
"Shame" is such a boss number. Dynamic emotional range, groove in the pocket, funky and smooth.
