the Swiss chart where it was #4. The song itself certainly does contain elements of disco but then the French were always behind trends as far as music went.
5. Don't Stop The Music - Dina Carroll. From 1990 so its at least 20 years too late to be considered disco and it charted in the UK at #84 so it couldn't possibly be considered a hit. It sounds more like a House/Funk fusion if I'm honest, not even slightly like disco.
6. Hit And Run Lover - Carol Jiani. From 1981, it reached #4 on the US Billboard Club Play Singles chart. Its very synth pop and sounds a lot like "Trapped" by Colonel Abrahams. Or "Searching" by Hazel Dean. Its one of those dance music tracks that was really popular in gay clubs that were still mourning the passing of disco and would buy anything that sounded remotely like it.
7. Hang On In There Baby - Johnny Bristol ...
I would recommend this to anyone, young people and older people. Anyone who likes 70's music. The variety of music on this CD is much more than any other disco CD I have seen. This is the type of CD that you can put on in your car while driving to work and it will cheer up your day or get you in the mood for a party. The album is full of oldies but goodies, that make you want to sing and dance. Ofcourse it holds all of the 70's classics like The Jacksons, Earth Wind and Fire and Candi Staton, which you find on all other 70's and disco cd's but 101 Disco Anthems has so much more "Hustle" to offer! ...
Advantages: A good selection of well known disco classics Disadvantages: A mere tip of a whopping great big disco iceberg, shop around for some real disco gems!
I believe that a purchase of "Disco Fever" provide you with pretty much a decent selection of classic disco classics. I dont feel that the tracks on the CD are by far the best funk/disco tracks out there, however for a nostalgic take on the disco era, not a bad effort. heres the track listing:
1. I Will Survive - Gaynor, Gloria
2. Rock Your Baby - McCrae, George
3. We Are Family - Sister Sledge
4. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda
5. I Gotcha - Tex, Joe
6. Superfly - Mayfield, Curtis
7. Boogie Nights - Heatwave
8. Car Wash - Rose Royce
9. Cuba - Gibson Brothers
10. Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - Temptations
11. I Want To Take You Higher - Turner, Ike & Tina
12. She's A Lady - Jones, Tom
13. Get On The Good Foot - Brown, James
14. You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Rawls, Lou

Album Notes
Nigerian music is known for its polyglot character, a fact that is exemplified by its native juju and highlife--a perfect storm of indigenous music traditions bolstered by Western technology. Lesser-known are Nigerian attempts to adopt Western music trends wholesale, as with the exquisitely rare disco and funk groups compiled for NIGERIA DISCO FUNK SPECIAL: THE SOUND OF THE UNDERGROUND LAGOS DANCEFLOOR 1974-1979. Taking obvious cues from stateside horn-driven funk ensembles like B.T. Express, Ohio Players and the J.B.'s, the propulsive dancefloor beats are punctuated by horn blasts and the scratchy, repetitive insistence of rhythm guitars--a sound with distinctive echoes of the ringing melodicism of highlife guitar sections. Highlights on this funky slice of Afro-disco include: Asikos's "Lagos City," an energetic blast of African brass, and Dr. Adolf Ahanotu's "Ijere," a slick, overdriven funk number done in a distinctly Nigerian style. Nigerian musicians adopt '70s funk and disco in this collection of rarities.
Album Reviews
Uncut (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The Afrobeat thunder is still strong on NIGERIA DISCO FUNK SPECIAL....T-Fire could be the Lagos branch of Clinton's P-Funk family."
