Goin' To The Disco by The Players Association 1977 -
On CD Born to DanceVanguard Records VMD 79398
Chris
Hill's New York based band. It was a purely disco band, but gained popularity on
the 80's Rare Groove scene, so now their albums are depressingly expensive. It
makes me want to cry. But instead, listen for any song on any of their albums -
from "Born to dance" try "Goin' to the disco", "Make it
last all night", "Disco inferno" and the brilliant "We were
born to dance". From "Turn the music up" try the great title
track and "Ride the groove".
