music Scootaloodles: Disco/Funk/Soul/Jazz-Funk/rare groove/boogie thread

[Scootaloodle 1,623]

I personally love all those genres, and wanted to see if anyone else liked them to

 

So I’ll start

 

Black Ivory- Mainline

 

A classic Disco song, played in places like the Paradise Garage nightclub, with legendary DJ Larry Levan

 

 

 

 

Double Exposure- Everyman

 

Another classic Disco track from the Salsoul orchestra and on Salsoul records

@@Envy I love that Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose song: not heard it before you posted it 

 

 

THP Band- Good To Me

 

Recently this funky Disco number was brought back when Duck Sauce sampled it in there version of the song called Goodie Two Shoes.

 

 

Johnnie Taylor- What About My Love?

 

Another song which was sampled into a House track, the introduction to this one formed the basis of The Shapeshifters- Lolas Theme which got to #1 in the charts back in 2004.

 

The original from 1981 is a slow, R&B/soul song and when I first heard it I didn’t like it I thought it was really boring. But as time passed, I changed my mind about it. I think the orchestration is just amazing and I think the lyrics are sad but beautiful.

The theme song to the original S.W.A.T TV-series (1975) is very groovy, imo. 

 

 

Let alone the original SHAFT theme.

Can't forget about this one. That Jazz bit at the beginning though...oh my god I wish that were a full song in itself! XD

 

 

And that one, that is one of my favorite songs of all time. The way that it goes from singing to having those radical guitars is mind blowing imo. Classic for sure. Plus it makes me think of chase scenes in the 70's which always have that 'bawchickabawchicka' noise and it makes me laugh so hard XD

Forgot to add that one, that song is so goooood! Makes me want to just put a bunch of mouse in my hair and style the crap out of it and get in a convertible and just drive around for a day.

Yeah, it's really nice, isn't it? It's sort of a hidden gem as it's not one of the songs the group is known for. But after adoring "Too Late To Turn Back Now" for quite some time I decided I wanted to explore the group's music further and that's when I ran into that song.

 

I'm not the type who dances or anything, but this type and era of music is like the one kind of music that makes me want to dance. xD I belong with my parents' generation. *sigh*

Love what people have been posting so far, heard some song's I've not heard before

 

Creative Source- Who is he, and what is he to you?

 

Originally by Bill Withers, who did a great track this one is about 20% cooler

 

 

Marvin Gaye- Lets Get It On

Machine- There but for the grace of God go I

Colemine Records has a lot of really good modern stuff I think people should check out.

Just an example of the kind of stuff they've released.

Black Market Brass - Chop Bop
