Candi Staton - Victim (8:35, YouTube; 1978) Random shot of disco for your whatever today is wherever you are.
I am absolutely LOVING this - thank you so much. Candi Staton has one of the all-time great voices, totally distinctive, you know it's Candi within a couple of seconds of hearing her.
As a teenager in the 70s, disco was the soundtrack of my youth. My music tastes are eclectic, I love rock, country, classical, folk, all sorts of stuff and I know it's not cool to admit to liking disco, but I love it, I'm a total disco bunny. Nothing makes me want to dance like disco does.
Most of the music on my mp3 player that I run to is 70s disco, classic stuff like the Detroit Emeralds, Spinners, Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Van McCoy, Stylistics - I've even got the Crown Heights Affair on there! I really wish I'd been able to go to one of those NYC discotheques I saw in Saturday Night Fever, or that I could do The Hustle.
