My Top 10 1970s Disco Dance Songs

The Battle of the Lists is on! Anyone who makes a Top 10 List of anything is bound to get 10 people who totally disagree with all 10 of the author's favorite picks. There will also be 10 people who agree with everything on the list and 10 who agree with some of the list. Top 10 lists are fun to read. I love music, so was happy to see Associated Content showcase a song list article* on the front page. AC's "You May Also Be Interested In" listed more song list articles and I came upon Content Producer, Roy Barnes. He writes well on a variety of subjects. After reading "Roy's Top 10 1970s Dance Songs", I promised to offer him My Top10 1970s Disco Dance Songs. Without further ado, here it is:

#10 "Ladies Night" by Kool and the Gang, 1979

Kool & the Gang sing: "romantic lady, single baby, sophisticated mama, come on you disco lady". This song is not sophisticated, just a simple song anyone can dance to. You will not break into a sweat as with faster paced disco songs, thus perfect for less energetic dancers.

#9 "Boogie Fever" by the Sylvers, 1976

The boogie fever was "going around" and when he "put some money in the jukebox for her, you know she ate her pizza dancing to the beat". The Sylvers did not have a lot of hit songs and are probably best remembered for another popular dance tune of the disco era, "Hot Line".

#8 "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" by Tavares, 1976

Not a word in this song about dancing, but Tavares' music was very much a part of the disco scene. This tune is a pretty love song that gets the hips swaying and is perfect for partners to show off their disco steps. Or you can go solo, copying Tavares' moves from their dance routine.

#7 "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayers, 1976

Leo feels like dancing due to "all this perpetual motion", The song continues "If you let me stay, we'll dance our lives away". I just love Leo's voice and love dancing to this tune.

#6 "Boogie Shoes" by KC & the Sunshine Band, 1978
