For me, nothing tops this. 11 minutes of pure brilliance. Starts off strong, and just gets better all the way through. The last 3-4 minutes are sublime. However whilst i am confident that there is no better example of music of this genre, can anything get close? I'd love to know...

I love disco music, and the opportunity that presents itself to say to a lovely lady dancing to it, 'I think it's a twelve inch...'

NEVER fails

Oh, and 'You Gave Me Love' by Crown Heights Affair is a proper floor filler

Top man. Teddy Pendergrass is a bit of a legend in our household. They've got one heck of a back catalogue, but for sheer entertainment value, Satisfaction Guaranteed is hard to beat, especially its beginning.

Teddy Pendergrass is the voice on this Harold Melvin classic. Harold's own voice was pretty bland in comparison.

Try this, the Futures - Party Time Man http://youtu.be/BlZTrSZlV6w (not enough posts yet to go straight there, you'l have to copy and paste). It's a lesser known piece of Philly disco magic.

The whole Rapture album is the best soul album of the 80s, bar none. Nothing comes remotely close; it's a work of total genius and Anita Baker has one of the best female soul voices of all time.
