...well, and now for something completely different. The title of course is supposednto remind you of the German king of easy listening, James Last, backed by his orchestra. These guys would turn popular tunes and the occasional original composition into side-long medleys, thus Nonstop Dancing.
This is obviously not that. As a matter of fact, the Non-Stop is definitely not false advertising, as in one swift click you'll get amusement for about two hours and forty minutes. Talk about a long one while he is away, huh? That was not possible without a stack-a-deck back in the days, but I'm sure James Last would be proud.
The whole shebang starts with, obviously, Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff", the disco anthem any gay, straight or non-binary disco lover will recognize as the anthem of the place. Summer did arguably bigger and better stuff, but she will still be remembered, at least here in Europe, mainly for that one. From there, the Nonstop Dancing - Disco Fever mix runs through all the classics from the mid-70s to the mid-80s, from "Rock Your Baby" to "Ring My Bell", from A like ABBA to W like Ward, Anita (not sure there's an X,Y or Z in there, but I might be wrong!).
Disco anthems both cheesy and supercool, now and forever, such as Blondies' immortal "Heart Of Glass". We got Michael Jackson to rock the dancefloor, and Prince, and tons of others. Chances are, if you think of a song from the disco years, it's on here. And even if it's not, tons and tons and hours and hours of retro dancefloor fun are guaranteed, here at OBG's Non Stop Dancing.
So, are ya ready to shimmy? Shake that heini? Blow out those aging hips of yours? Well, here you go...

ReplyDeleteI am listening to your disco compilation while sipping on a Blue Bottle iced coffee creation. What you put together is fantastic - you really have a good FLOW happening - which is not easy to do. Thanks!
"Best Of My Love" by The Emotions
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compilation OB.
ReplyDeletePerhaps more reggae disco, but Gwen Guthrie's first lp from 1982 still works for me!
