Ideas for camp 70's music
 

On the show we're going to be doing a camp 1970s disco theme and I was looking for suggestions - already I've got the BeeGees "Staying Alive", the Village People's "Macho Man", "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate and "Heaven must be missing an angel" from the Tavares - any other suggestions?

Re: Ideas for camp 70's music
 

Wasn't intended as a cheat, I have the album and I think its a brill compilation of the era.

Re: Ideas for camp 70's music
 

There's some painfully funky stuff on an album called Tuff Dude by Buddy Rich (1974). I have one in particular in my head but I can't remember what the track's called. It's instrumental so I can't give you a line.

The album is apparently unavailable but I guess you DJ types have extensive archives :D

Re: Ideas for camp 70's music
 

Anything by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Re: Ideas for camp 70's music
 

Not sure when this was released, may just be 80's but it's a great floor cleaner ( yes that's cleaner, not clearer) :D

Oops upside your head...The Gap Band.
