Description
I always let the music lead the way — and this week it pulled me in a surprising direction. There’s a strong Eurodisco current running through the set, alongside some pure 1977 funk-driven disco gems like T-Connection’s “Do What You Wanna Do”, The Hues Corporation’s “I Caught Your Act”, and Carol Douglas’ “Burnin’.”
We kick things off with Idris Muhammad’s incredible “Could Heaven Ever Be Like This”, seamlessly blending into Don Ray’s “Got to Have Loving.”
There are some deep cuts too, like The Southroad Connection’s “You Like It, We Love It” (we sure do 😁) and a real surprise: Carole King — yes, that Carole King — with her disco track “Disco Tech.”
And because 1977 was also the year of the great disco symphonies, I couldn’t resist including a pair of epic album-side journeys: Alec R. Costandinos’ “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and Ferrara’s “The Wuthering Heights Suite.”
