Beks, I love that LP cover. I still swoon when I think about the Bee Gees. I like their 60's music best. They were all of them deliciously cute.

A little too toothy for my tastes, but they did do some great music, even if it does make Farkel rampage.

Their teeth were one of the things I loved the best. I love their eyes and hair and coloring, too. But the voices and the song writing talent and voices are magical.

Oh Yeah: I used to masturbate to Donna Summer Oh Love To Love You Baby" But more seriously I still listen to the Bee Gees

Thanks for the thread, Oompa....I love disco. Even the men would dance. Thanks everyone for the groovy videos.

Now that all the "mainstream" ones were taken, I will dig out the ones that were more specifically disco:

(1) A Little Lovin' by The Raes

(2) Love Injection by Trussel

(3) Le Spank by Le Pamplemousse

(4) The Magic Is You by John Davis & His Monster Orchestra

(5) You Set My Heart On Fire by Tina Charles

Among many other disco specific hits. I also liked the Sylvers' Boogie Fever, most songs from the Bee Gees, The Ritchie Family, and The Trammps.

Yes, there is a distinction between disco and funk, even though some qualifies as both. Funk tends to have a rougher, edgier beat to it. Disco, on the other hand, tends to be much smoother. And a lot of what many people tend to classify as "disco" is actually funk--Earth Wind and Fire, The Commodores, Kool & the Gang, and Parliament are all funk.

However, for many people (and especially the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger and those who were under their tyranny), they sound very similar and is difficult to tell apart. True, KC and the Sunshine Band is technically funk (their first hit "Sound Your Funky Horn" gives it away), but most of their subsequent hits also qualify as pure disco and funk-disco. It practically takes an expert to be able to reliably tell funk and disco apart.

I'm not an expert. I can easily tell them apart. KC: none of his hits were actually disco music. He really almost had his own unique sound going. Didn't have the telltale disco strings in his arrangements. Basically he wasn't as cheesy as disco. Technically, and the Bee Gees have pointed this out, Bee Gees wasn't disco music either.
