Some actually want to label this as the first disco record. I still think its "Rock the Boat". However the disco crowd played this song a lot in the clubs.
Kool and the Gang. An epic group. Congratulations on finally being inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I will be going to the induction ceremony in October.
Here's 3 big jams from the 80's, which were a little more on the pop side.
"Misled"
"Joanna"
"Cherish"
And here's one of their many funk classics from the 1970's
"Open Sesame"

Definitely one of the early disco greats. I believe "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae (1974) was the first acknowledged disco record.
"Rock The Boat" by the Hues Corporation soon followed as a re-release in 1974. It hadn't gotten much airplay when it was first released in 1973, but when disco started to take off it was re-released and became a hit.
i guess you like Elmore James,,lol
i will give a listen tomorrow morning....kinda like a mini album

You're right about Rock Your Baby I mixed it up. To me though that doesn't ring disco, its a bit slower tempo. I love the song nonetheless.
"Funk You Up" by The Sequence
This was the first girl rap group circa 1979. One of the members was a teenage Angie Stone, who went by Angie B then. She eventually became a neo soul artist and scored some hits with "Wish I Didn't Miss You" and "More Than a Woman" featuring Calvin Richardson in the early 2000's.
