Songs from the year 1977.

This band isn’t even on Wikipedia but deserves a place in every Dancing Queen’s heart.

Obscure disco - I hope this gets a ‘like’ out there!

The extras on the 4k are fantastic too - Hector Elizando tells some really fun stories about being in the film, and there is a vintage ‘making of’ - well worth the purchase.

The soundtrack is stellar!

“…raise your hands if you want some more!”

Los Angeles funkers Rose Royce put out a perfect album in 1977, ‘It Makes You Feel Like Dancing’ is an under statement.

Let’s boogie!

“You’ve only got one life so live it cool!”

Bahamian band T-Connection blew up the dance charts with this funk classic.

Now get those rollerskates on and let’s go!

Songs from the year 1977.

What a great year to be a kid, this one is a dance floor funk burner by extraordinary musicians.

B.T. Express kick things off with “We Got It Together”.

Give it a listen if you’ve not heard it, it’s such a gift!

Sister Sledge over here helping with the TGIF!

These lists bring me such joy in such a joyless time in history, I so appreciate you!

Are they “ranked” or just grouped under each category - is the first one in “Meh” your least liked etc?

Long live Bryan Ferry!

That voice and that style….

I need a solo top 17 so we can include Home & Brand New Day (The Wiz), Missing You, and Do You Know Where You’re Going To.

Your first two songs… I hope she is so proud of those!

That Andrea True song gives me life - so fun to see it mentioned anywhere!

I have a Persuasive Percussion album with a different (but also cool) cover!

So many H.G. Wells movies are ready for an update…. I’d love a modern take on ‘Food of the Gods’ and ‘Empire of the Ants’!

I adore early Gary Numan - two songs that recently challenged my best of lists are B-sides I’d never heard off of “I, Assasin” —- ‘Noise Noise’ and ‘This House Is Cold’.

Such a distinct and joyful experience to discover old songs new to my ears after so long.

Fantastic list, thanks for sharing!!

Cop 'N' Blow YouTube video by Rick James - Topic

We have the same #1, I’d squeeze in “Cop ‘N Blow” as my number two.

Fantastic list and music.

Honorable mention to “Little Runaway” - a Stone City Band favorite.

Thanks for these lists @sotoalfred.bsky.social

Exceptional list, wow!!

I’d have swapped T-Connection, Andrea True, and/or Brass Construction for Rod and Dr. Buzzard, but I’m splitting hairs.

Surreal that ABBA and KC & the Sunshine Band never had a #1 on that chart.

Love the Cerrone and BT Express nods!!

Sade - Young Lion (Official Music Video) YouTube video by SadeVEVO

She reappeared in 2024 with the song “Young Lion” on the ‘Transa: Select’ compilation album. It’s a song sung to her son Isaak - powerful, delicate, emotional - it brought me to tears.

“When I’m near you I’m like a honey bee…
You know I want your honey but you keep on teasing me”

Shoo-be-do-wop!

Totally forgot this song.

The Sylvers had some exceptional funk tracks sprinkled on their albums, too.
