I'm not sure I'd call this 'disco' its more house/dance than anything. Borne out of the disco movement mind you. I think I mentioned it before but this was the very first CD I ever owned.
A much needed Black Music thread.

Never heard this one before. I think they would classify this as post disco, even electronic. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow this definitely has that Philly soul sound. I can see the links to disco now. I don't know what it is about this guy's voice but its incredible to me. So unique yet so soulful.
This has cross Philly soul/disco vibes.

Disco -> Italo disco-> Post disco/Boogie -> House. This was the rough transition in the late 70's and early 80's.
This track is a good example of the transition. Big in the New York clubs of early 80's. The only ESG song I knew of was "UFO" which I have posted before because of its importance to hip hop.

I hope they do this one in concert as well. From their debut LP (1991)

Oh man yeah GREAT GREAT SONG by them. Where are they performing? Found it - March 13, 2025: Great Canadian Casino Resort. The ladies will be out that night for sure.
One of the reasons I like them so much, you cant help but sing along with them, one of the best groups in my opinion.
My 2 fave Crown Heights Affair songs:
which begat this one, pretty much all about the "didididi dit dit dit" (with a slight variation) disco break...
Fo me, anything that was played in the Montreal discos I generally just classify as "disco", while realizing there are many different genres involved.
For example this one by New Order, which was huge in the discos, but certainly wasn't traditional early r&b based disco...
