Hi Guys and Gals

ive got a 70s disco coming up in a couple of weeks and been given a playlist but only by the song title.

ive worked out 150 of them and have found them collecting dust in various places around the house but i need help with a few im not 100% sure about. i cant ask the organiser as they are on holiday.

am i right in believing the ones below are actually.....

 

H.A.P.P.Y. - is this happy radio by edwin starr?

 

love come round - think its meant to be love come down by evelyn king.

 

things you do to me - is this sister sledge and im thinking of you

 

vous le vous que che avec moi - is this la belle and lady marmalade

 

only one im totally not sure about is i love to love. i know ive got it on 7" single but for the life of me i cant remember who it by , help!

I think you're right on who sang the tracks.

thanks vokf. that track was on the tip of my tongue but i had a mind blank.

 

 

the show is 8 hours Jim so i will be totally cream crakered by the end of it.

 

 

i was panicking at first Norfolk DJ as i was told definately no funky disco but once i saw the playlist it brought a smile to my face.

 

 

thanks for the extra few there trebor. already got most on the list which i will post below.

 

 

its a charity disco in aid of the uk thalasemia society and it is fancy dress. as far as i know all tickets are sold out.

 

 

thanks for all the advice everyone.

heres the playlist. i think the organiser was a bit biased as he stated no funk but looking at the list you will see quite a few and not all from the 70s.

WKD playlist, Sounds like my ideal gig!

 

 

[robbiedj 0]

Not bad at all, though I'd be tempted to swap Gloria Gaynor's Never Can Say Goodbye for the Communard's version which I prefer. tongue out icon

 

And, although I will probably be shot down in flames, I can't stand Car Wash. It just doesn't do it for me. Mind you, I don't suppose you will play them all anyway. I might slip in Gonzales - Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet. Makes a nice little set with H.A.P.P.Y Radio / Contact (Edwin Starr) & Sylvester.

 

 

[dj007 0]

i cant wait.

there are 2 of us doing the gig so at least will get a short break for a while.

would love to get the technics out of hibernation but not a lot of room to set up so will have to stick with twin cd mixer and my alienware laptop as backup.

Don't forget some other 70's genres....worth having some Sweet, Slade etc and a few Punk tracks as well - most 70's parties I've done have had glam and punk fancy dressers as well...

Absolutely and some Mud & T Rex.

No no no. The excellent Pat & Mick version of a haven't Stopped dancing yet - it's a classic.

i did ask a couple of weeks ago about some of your suggestions (great minds think alike) but was told NO its got to be mainly cheesy disco and we are not allowed to take requests.

as its a charity do i will have a bucket behind the decks and if anyone is willing to part with some more cash i will play their requests. anything to make more money for the charity is my main objective.

was also thinking of asking some of the girls to bring some waxing strips with them and for a tenner they can wax any willing participants. ohhh the pain tongue out icon

Should be easier to contend with.

It was from the eighties, still got it on 7".

lips inc is a strange one to work out. ive got the original 12" but it is stored away with the many thousands of records ive still got and it would mean ripping my shelving apart to search for it.

i always thought it was the earl 80s but on the sites i checked it varied from 1976 to 1993. strangely enough the site i took the date from said varified next to the date and that was 1993.

 

oh well,time to dismantle all my shelving in my room tonight.
