Love these disco tunes…still listen to them. They are timeless!
this channel is amazing! a real time machine, we love it so much. So many memories from those songs and other masterpieces. Thank you so much for this upload. i am really loving this channel.
There is nothing more beautiful than a girl with an old soul for these matters... good job 👍🎶😊
Lived through those years. I think the 70s and 80s have the best variety of all types of music. I recall 90% of these. Not much artificial voice manipulation, small groups were very successful, focuses on love and breaking barriers of race and gender.
"Disco".... we were coming off the greatest two decades of music the world has ever seen, so Disco was a harsh slap in the face for so many who grew up on soul and folk and rock, but it is a very underrated genre that just makes you groove to a different beat. It is not much different than the transition into Elvis and Chuck Berry rock from Sinatra and Perry Como and the Big Band era.
My suggestion for a movie reaction would be Fame (1980). You might know the title song, but it's a different experience to see it in its "natural setting". It has great songs and dancing all the way through.
The 70's really were a different time. I think it's odd that so many people deny having liked Disco back in the day. A lot of people deny having liked Disco because it suddenly became uncool. Which is stupid. It's just music. Every form of music has something to offer someone, and therefore every form of music is valid.
Personally, I like it all. I grew up in a family that had diverse musical tastes, everything from Bluegrass to The Beatles, and there were radio stations like KFRC out of Oakland/San Francisco, with Doctor Don Rose. Or KZAP out of Sacramento which was a station that was progressive AOR (Album Oriented Rock), there were Disco stations, Rock stations, R&B, Soul, and Funk stations, and Country stations. And whatever else you can think of, genre-wise.
The reason I'm mentioning the different genres of radio stations, is because the 70's are when FM radio became huge. The sound was awesome, no static, everything broadcast IN STEREO, and sonically it was light-years beyond what AM radio was capable of. That's why the music scene absolutely exploded back then.
It was a cool time to be alive.
I absolutely loved disco
I love 70s music. So many bangers. I also love 80-early 2000s.
Verdy, you should do a movie reactions to: Saturday Night Fever, and Grease (even though you’ve seen it).
Earth Wind and Fire my favorite Disco group! A few in here I haven't heard since I was little 😂 great video!
At 8:52, it's Andrea Marie Truden, better known as Andrea True, leading the Andrea True Connection in the song More More More. The oddity here is that she previously was an adult film star.
1973, my high school football team was having a great year. With my team securely in the lead, several minutes before the end of the game, the band would start playing MFSB (by TSOP) (13:18), meld into Love Train (8:24), then, finally into Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye. There was this collective happy feeling in the bleachers and down on the track the cheerleaders had put up their pom poms and were just dancing their hearts out. We won two playoff games (barely) and then a bunch of us boarded a caravan of buses to go to the state championship. We were blown out 38-0. It was a long and very quiet bus ride home that night.
You seemed to know many of them, even the words. I am impressed! I love music from this era.
I can’t help it, love Disco music. Glee was amazing for disco tunes !
i love this music ! i send you a big hug from argentina
You'll notice that EVERYBODY was grooving and having a fantastic time in every performance.
I also liked the fancy outfits.
More Than a Woman was written by the Bee Gees. Both the Bee Gees and the Tavares appear on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album singing the track interestingly the Tavares charted slightly higher in the US charts with there single than the Bee Gees did with there single. I believe the Tavares also won there only Grammy for their version. (The Gees have won five Grammy gongs over their career). While on the subject of Bees Gees Andy Gibb (at 11:48) was their younger brother unfortunately he died in 1988 at the age of 30 from Myocarditis.
I love disco music and Motown sound. You should to react to the Chily's songs, german musical project at the 70's. You'll love that music and group. Great reaction, Verdy. Grettings from Spain.
This girl knows how to have fun!
A very interesting decade of high energy combined with musical stagnation.
Cheryl Lynn. Got to be Real. Great song.
Disco is far superior to the music of today.
Je t aime beaucoup verdy j adore tes réactions et on à les mêmes goûts bisous de France
Awesome you can appreciate disco, I was only a pre teen in this era but brings back memories. Good job!
Wow! You really do love Disco. You knew the words to so many of the songs. I don't know they gave credit to that other band. The Bee Gees did "More Than A Woman" first.
They wrote it !
The O,Jays Love Train was awesome 8:20
Thank you for the trip on memory lane young lady. Much love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
This is another one of those lists that seems to come from the UK. Some of those songs and groups never crossed over to the USA or elsewhere. But most of the songs were hits on both sides of the Atlantic.
💖💖💖💖 Great to go back in time...
Fun fact: Both the Tavares and Bee Gees version of “More Than A Woman” were included on the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack
Oh I miss the 70s so much
IMHO nothing beats what I call the Boogie Triad: "Boogie Nights" by Heatwave (1977), "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste of Honey (1978), and "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire (1979). The quintessence of disco distilled down to three songs.
Rest In Piece to the one and only legendary one of a kind musical Icons in Michael Jackson we definitely will certainly not forget about you no matter what🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 3:30
There were many, many great songs during that short era. But that was also the problem. The airwaves became over saturated with disco. And so many of the songs that are now forgotten sounded so much alike. There was a radio station in Charlotte, NC that was dedicated to playing nothing but disco. I could only listen to it for about 2 hours at a time before I would get disco overload. And that's basically what killed disco.
Grease -YES : Interstellar Yes & Double YES!
I didn't know about a third of them and I listened to the radio a lot back then. Granted, I wasn't on the dance floor. I liked disco and I never understood the hate that it got. Maybe there were a lot of people with a lot of anger in their lives and didn't like "happy" music.
Never ever ask if the Bee Gees made a cover, they wrote all their songs, mor than 1000. The song GREASE is also written from Barry Gibb (and sung from the Bee Gees). In this video are 6 Bee gees songs, 3 sung by others!
Verdy don't be fooled. The Bee Gees wrote and also sang More than a woman, the others sang it but Bee Gees sang also and they are the writers.
actualy bee gees wrote it for the movie and tavares sang it and bee gees altso sang it, so 2 versions in the same movie
The Four Seasons seem to be overlooked by many when it comes to exploring great musical acts of the 60’s and 70’s
C’est super cool Verdy ! Très bonnes descriptions des hits ! Ça me rappelle l’époque où j’étais DJ à CHAA-FM 103,3 Longueuil et que mon playlist était exactement selon la liste que tu as présenté. Encore une fois bravo Verdy et continue ton beau travail ! 🐨👍
Grease is one of the very few musicals that I like, and will always love. I first saw it in 1980, when i was in kindergarten 😊
I like her little salute at the end ❤️.
More than a Woman is a Bee Gees original.
Did you know MacArthur's Park by Donna Summer? It looked like it surprised you as an 'unknown'. React to THAT if you haven't heard it.
And Barbra and Donna too! Both exceptional.
no, that' was a cover of a Bee Gee's song Verdy! 😅And they left out almost the whole album that went number one and outsold all the other songs on the list.
Disco would've continue into the 80's if it wasn't for the jealousy and anger from the rock n roll crowd, which got them blackballed on radio. Donna Summer paid the steepish price for that.
Very good disco; (Verdy Channel Why not réact Mylène farmer?) Very good star french!🤩😘
I’m impressed u know more than me lmao.
the movie Airplane has them using John Travolta music and dance moves from Saturday Night Fever in one scene
6:58
oh man i haven't heard love unkind in a LOOOOOONG time! loved it's dragging beat
If you haven’t seen it you should watch Saturday Night Fever. Not all happy but an amazing soundtrack and a legitimately good film. Oh, lots of dancing too.
Thanks, really enjoyed this.
Alicia Bridges' "I Love the Nightlife" was part of the movie, "Love at First Bite" which was about Dracula in Disco Era New York City. Starred George Hamilton & Susan St. James. It was a bad movie, but it was a GREAT IDEA...Dracula set loose in the City that Never Sleeps durimg the disco era meeting up with lusty a young, lusty Susan St. James...with that music, It should have been a classic!
Great reaction as usual. It took me a few moments to realize it was alphabetical also. Now I'm going to look up the original video and complain about the songs that are missing from this list.
Disco music is one of my favorites, I recommend you listen and if you can, react to the album After the disco by Broken Bells, you will love it !!!
For me, some disco songs I've been able to enjoy without thinking they were disco. If they make you happy and want to dance, it's fun to watch you enjoy them. I'd love to see your reaction to movies like Grease even if you've seen them before, Verdy.
missing was Eddie Grant Electric Avenue out at same time as Funkytown
During "Fly Robin Fly" I got a hint that you can sing. Are there videos of your in which you sing?
Damn girl, you never cease to amaze me. you are the epitome of "an old head on a young body".
Fun fact:- Nile Rogers & Chic produced & played the music for Sister Sledge & on Donner Summer "Upside Down".
Bony M were not a real band. The music was played & sung by session musicians and the people you see on stage were just miming & Bobby Farrell admitted he was just a dancer and couldn't sing a note, Just like Milli Vanilli.
The male "singer" was indeed just hired as a dancer, the female vocalists did actually sing their parts.
They had the same producer who was happy to throw everyone to the wolves when the lip syncing became common knowledge.
@@chrismorgan9153 Yer, I spent over 50 years in bands and experienced some of the nasty little shits that would set fire to their own mothers for a couple of grand.
Also worked with some well known artists that were really nice people.
Lots of those are just straightforward boogie, whoever made the original video doesn't know what disco is 😁 Love your review as always though
Yes, react to Grease, it would be fun to go through the whole movie with your reaction to it. A movie like Grease doesn't need a 'first-time' tag with it, and with your youthful exuberance it would be a blast!
ABBA, Esmeralda Suite, many many others...and of course, any of those hits you've just reacted to, are worthy of full auditions! 😅👌🙋♀️
More than a woman was originally performed by the Bee Gees as they are the songwriters and the performers
Both versions were released in 1977 and featured on the soundtrack to Saturday night fever
@@rickclark8657 THANK YOU so much, I thought I was never going to see anyone else say the truth.
I lived through the disco era, and I'm with Eric, it sucks. But you are awesome! And since it makes you smile it's great to watch. I just endured 15 minutes of disco, and I'd do it again just to see how much fun you had watching this. Also, I agree, Donna Summer was the queen of disco. She was on the radio non-stop back them and rightly so! Gotta go listen to some Zep or Tom Petty now to recover 😂
Some disco is horrible but Chic, Earth Wind and Fire are class.
I don't know why people insist on putting Abba in the disco category. To me they are as far from disco as you can get. They are pure pop.
I grew up in the disco era. A lot of people don't like it but if you were going out for the night and love dancing, disco was and still is the king! I'm a rocker through and through but can still love other genres of music.
Only true disco tune they did was Summer Nights City. One of my favourite disco tunes.
Check out the band,
Toulouse, and the song
It Always Happens This Way
Love it disco inferno
Please do a Grease movie reaction!
You need to do a reaction to the ultimate disco movie, Saturday Night Fever. It is, hands down, one of the best movies of the 70's.
Whispers was that the first hit before rock steady
Not sure if you've seen the film The Martian, it has a banger of a soundtrack. That'll be a good reaction for you if you haven't watched it yet. May the force be with you.
-Sage
If your going to do "The Four Seasons" look at the " Edizione D'Oro (Gold Edition)" must have every hit if theirs on it. When I got married we found we had two copies of it.
Most of my disco knowledge comes from playing DDR.
E' impossibile rimanere fermi e non ballare ascoltando questa musica
Great reaction Verdy, I'm your 👍300 like 😁
Kool & the Gang and KC & the Sunshine Band had some of the best hits of the 70s & 80s. A band named Pseudo Echo did a cover of "Funkyton" that was better than the original. (IMO) I'm surprised the Pointer Sisters weren't in there somewhere. They had some good ones. "Neutron Dance" & "Automatic" are just a couple of good ones. They're not disco songs, but I'm suggesting "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter and "Hocus Pocus" by Focus until you do them. Great songs. Both have iconic live videos too.
I also recommend to react to the Top Songs in Europe series, there will be a good amount of French songs on there :)
All killer no filler 😎
I would love to watch your reaction to Grease
Yes Grease
#GabrielHenrique thank you for the content provided! I recommend the talented Gabriel Henrique. In his voice STAND UP whit coral black to black. You can be sure, he is different
Wow , forgot how great disco really was ❤❤❤❤❤
Music of my generation... I loved to ABBA and DONNA SUMMER... or THE BEE GEES... mmmm... somethig of MICHAEL JACKSON or ... not much.
In that age I hearth almost rock... the rest of music was only plastic. By the way it was music to dancing and well it was jus to celebrate and be happy.
I'm sixty nine years old and I change my spirit and feeling good and glad!!
Another great reaction.
Andy Gibb etait le 4ieme Freres des Bee Gees. Il n'ont pas mentionner Boz Scaggs (Lowdown).
Lowdown is pre disco and it’s more yacht rock now. Silk Degrees, the album it came from is a favourite of mine.
a mislabelled song more than a woman is BeeGees
Yes, More Than A Woman was originally recorded by the R&B group Tavares. It was re-recorded by Bee Gees for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Bee Gees’ version when I hear makes me laugh because one of the misheard lyrics of their version is actually the whole title, and that is people have misheard Bee Gees’ singing about a Bald-Headed Woman.😂
But the bee gees wrote the song
@@CindyMoore-te2yj That is true, but they let Tavares record it first.
@@peterbradfield2805 At a lot of their concerts, they sang it. They have gave them first rights but it is there's. She even thought it was there song so let's not put good music taste to waste, especially since there is only one of them left.
@@peterbradfield2805both version were made for the SNF soundtrack and made into single. The Tavares' version was more successful.
Je suis comme ton continue c'est top
C'est bien que le disco retrouve ses lettres de noblesse ces dernieres annees. Quoiqu'en disent certains puristes, y avait d'excellents musiciens parmi eux.
Disco died in 1979😢 love my Disco music
Hopefully an album reaction/review to come 🙏💪😎
It's a cover of the Bee Gees song
If you want some greatb musicals movies to react... I suggest The rocky horror picture show, hair, fooloose and the blues brothers
They seem to not know the difference between "Disco" and "Dance" music. Barry White is not Disco, and never will be, but it is a great dance song. There were many other questionable selections.
The only songs Verdy did'nt know were british only hits, except for Boney M. I only know them from lists like this. How do you know about them Verdy?
the bee gees did the orignial more than a woman the song written and produeced by bee gees, tavares did a version for the saturday night fever soundtrack
It's still weird for me that 'I Love to Love' by Tina Charles weren't included 😐
Totally jealous of whomever gets to kiss those beautiful lips!
R&B replaced Soul music. The main Difference was they used The bass and the drums for the rythm which kinda forced you to move. Kinda like rave music, you may like it but you could not help but o start moving when you heard it.
More Than A Woman BeeGees released it 1st, than Tavares - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_Than_a_Woman_(Bee_Gees_song)
