Why Can't We Live Together?
Timmy Thomas - 1973
This was number 5 in the Billboard Hot 100 in the week Roe Vs Wade was handed down, a seminal track from Timmy Thomas - who was inspired after listening to the nightly deathtoll from Vietnam. Timmy Thomas passed away just a couple of months ago, and here we are full circle with a war in Ukraine, and Roe Vs Wade struck down. Why can't we live together?

KC & The Sunshine Band 3\
The best disco band you forgot about.
One of the bigger hits from KC - and sampled again in the 90s. Get Down Tonight from 1977, again, with about four sentences of lyrics

Holler 1979
John Davis & The Monster Orchestra
In the nascent days of hip hop, it was not uncommon for a disco record to have a bit of shouty speaking on it, and this is a great example from 1979. The B-Side to Love Magic, Holler.
Sadly the production was awful, and the recording is muffled and confused

Madrid, Spain
This magical, mystery opening from Spanish TV was in use throughout the late 70s

If the news didn't scare you, then this opening will. The avant garde electronic sound of Bernard Estardy with "Night Express" from 1973 is used as the opening of the Luxembourg News in the late 70s

Disco News 2/
I knew there had to be more ...
After a little hunt I found this funky intro from Oman Television News from 1980. It appears to have been made for the programme, but still, a great opening bit of Disco before the news
A handy explainer to what a Disco is
