Dance music from Western artists that was a hit in the 1970s. World-famous and popular songs.
The 1970s gave birth to many genres and values that hadn’t existed in the music world before, such as distinctive melodies using electronic music and performances that emphasized visuals.
This time, I’d like to introduce dance music from the 1970s.
Even in the context of global music history, this era is packed with eccentric tracks, making a powerful impact.
With the disco boom in full swing, danceable music that you could really move to became all the rage.
We’ll be featuring several classics that capture the atmosphere of the time, so please sit back and enjoy until the very end.

Dance music of Western songs that were hits in the 70s. World-famous and popular songs (61–70)
If You Were ThereThe Isley Brothers
A medium-slow yet solid dance tune.
Speaking of the Isley Brothers, they have plenty of other classics, but I chose this track, often called a hidden gem.
Starting with the sound of a clavinet, its gentle mood surprises listeners by showing that even funk can be expressed like this.
Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)The Jacksons
The Jacksons, the legendary vocal group centered around Michael Jackson.
They’ve left behind many classic songs, and among them are some disco hits.
One I especially recommend is Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground).
In terms of genre, it’s like a blend of disco and funk, but Michael Jackson’s smooth vocals also give it an R&B essence.
Hello! Mr MonkeyArabesque
Speaking of hit disco bands, it has to be Arabesque! They have lots of great songs like Fly High and Refreshing Make Love, but let me introduce their best-selling track.
It’s a classic that everyone who’s ever been to a disco knows.
The excitement is guaranteed from the intro!
Jungle BoogieKool and The Gang
This is Kool & the Gang during their instrumental group era.
They later incorporated vocals and made a comeback, but at this time they were scoring hits with instrumentals.
It became a huge hit with a 100% funk sound!
Message In A BottleThe Police
This is a song released in 1979 by the British rock band The Police.
Through the story of a castaway who washes up on a lonely island, it portrays human loneliness and hope, making it a classic.
It features a memorable guitar riff and striking rhythms, along with lyrics that resonate with many listeners.
Issued as the lead single from the album Reggatta de Blanc, it reached number one on the charts in the UK and Ireland.
It’s a recommended track for those who feel lonely or are seeking connection.
As one of The Police’s signature songs, it continues to be loved by many to this day.
