Disco Music: Earth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove

Description:
The Cosmic Lounge presents Disco Music: 'Let's Groove' by Earth, Wind & Fire. "Pop/R&B music group, founded in Chicago in 1969 by Maurice White (b. Dec. 19, 1942) and his brother Verdine (b. Jul. 25, 1951). Maurice had been a drummer for jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis's quartet and Verdine was a classically trained bassist. Their goal was to form a band that blended soul, funk, gospel, blues, rock, and jazz. They released a self-titled debut album for Warner Brothers in 1970 and followed it up the next year with the album The Need of Love. Philip Bailey (b. May 8, 1951) was brought on as a co-lead singer and Ralph Johnson as a drummer-percussionist-vocalist for the album Last Days and Time for Columbia. In 1973 Earth Wind & Fire scored their first gold record with Head to the Sky and their first R&B Top Ten hit with "Mighty Mighty" from Open Your Eyes. The group's breakthrough to a mass audience came in 1975 with the release of the album That's the Way of the World, which was the soundtrack to a film in which the group appeared. It featured the No. 1 hit single "Shining Star." In 1975 the band released the partially live album Gratitude. During the recording of 1976's Spirit, longtime producer, arranger and songwriter Charles Stepney passed away. In 1977 Earth Wind & Fire released the album All 'n All and won three Grammy Awards, one one of which was for their version of the Beatles "Got to Get You Into My Life." 1979's I Am featured the popular disco single "Boogie Wonderland" and the hit ballad "After the Love Has Gone." Several albums in the early 1980s did almost as well, but after the commercial failure of 1983's "Electric Universe," the group disbanded. It re-formed for the 1987 release Touch the World. The1990s saw the release of the albums Heritage, Millenium, and In the Name of Love. Known for their spectacular stage shows, Earth Wind & Fire helped to bring African influences into American pop culture. One of Maurice White's trademarks was a handheld African thumb piano called a kalimba, which was used in many of their recordings." http://www.last.fm/music/Earth+Wind+and+Fire

Disco Music: Anita Ward - Ring My Bell
The Cosmic Lounge presents Disco Music: 'Ring My Bell' by Anita Ward. "Anita Ward (born 20 December, 1956 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American singer. Before signing a recording contract, Ward obtained a degree in psychology from Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, and had become a schoolteacher. While recording her first album, Knight presented her with a song he had written the previous year for singer Stacy Lattisaw. Ward did not like the song, but Knight insisted that a dance track was needed to capitalize on the current disco trend, and Ward relented. The song, which was originally a juvenile-targeted tune about teens talking on the telephone, was rewritten with more "adult" lyrics, and the result was the single "Ring My Bell" which reached number one in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom in 1979. Disputes with Knight, a car accident, and the fading appeal of disco music halted Ward's career and she came to be regarded as a one hit wonder. Only one other single of hers made the Billboard charts in the U.S., "Don't Drop My Love," which halted at #87. On New Year's Eve 2002 she performed "Ring My Bell" in New York City's Times Square before a crowd of revelers as part of the city's official celebration. On New Years's Eve 2005, Anita performed in Memphis, Tennessee at Backstreet. She sang her number one classic hit "Ring My Bell" and several other disco hits. She has been also appeared in Zagreb, Croatia on 4 January 2006, the night before the FIS World Cup slalom race on nearby Sljeme with some other groups and singers from disco era (Nile Rodgers & Chic, Village People, Thelma Houston and Rose Royce)." http://www.last.fm/music/Anita+Ward

Disco Music Mix - Take Me Back To The Seventies
Disco is a genre of dance-oriented pop music. Disco songs usually have soaring, often reverberated vocals over a steady four-on-the-floor beat, an eighth note (quaver) or sixteenth note (semi-quaver) hi-hat pattern with an open hi-hat on the off-beat, and prominent, syncopated electric bass line. Strings, horns, electric pianos, and electric guitars create a lush background sound. Orchestral instruments such as the flute are often used for solo melodies, and unlike in rock, lead guitar is rarely used.
