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 (31–40)
Dschinghis KhanDschinghis Khan
It’s dance music with an impressive intro that keeps the energy high all the way to the end.
I think even people who don’t listen to much music will know this song.
It’s both the name of the group, Dschinghis Khan, and the title of the song.
It’s one of those tracks that gets your energy up whether you like it or not.
Stayin’ AliveBee Gees
It’s a famous song that gained popularity as the opening theme of the film Saturday Night Fever! Although it’s mid-tempo, it modulates several times, and I think it’s crafted with great care even among disco tracks.
Enjoy the sound of disco’s golden age!
ChameleonHerbie Hancock
A classic masterpiece with a single running over 15 minutes! It’s the kind of thing only someone with a jazz background could pull off.
Over a mid-slow tempo, a pulsing synth bass runs on and on, and Herbie’s funky piano playing is just so cool.
It’s a hit he still performs live to this day.
Sir DukeStevie Wonder
Let me introduce a track from the album by the blind artist Stevie Wonder that’s considered a masterpiece.
It’s often used in car commercials in Japan, so it’s a song you’ll probably feel like you’ve heard before.
This album comes from a happy time when he had a child, and as you’d expect, this song is very upbeat!
The JamGraham Central Station
It’s a funk band led by Larry Graham, the bassist from Sly & the Family Stone.
Naturally, Graham’s bass takes center stage, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to revel in slap bass! It’s also a masterpiece as dance music.
