Dance music of Western songs that were hits in the 70s. World-famous and popular songs (31–40)
Le FreakChic
A disco classic! With light, choppy guitar and stylish disco sound led by female vocals, its Japanese title is also “Oshare Freak” (“Chic Freak”).
Released in 1978, it hit number one on the U.S.
charts and is one of Chic’s signature songs.
Play that funky music white boyWild Cherry
As the title suggests, it’s funk—but by a white group.
Their sound is every bit as strong as Black funk, and this catchy track became a huge hit.
They’re often treated like a one-hit wonder, but this song is fantastic! You’re guaranteed to love it after just one listen.
Love HangoverDiana Ross
A song from Diana Ross, the woman Michael Jackson loved and a massively successful singer.
This track was crafted for Diana to embrace the disco sound; from the mellow opening to the upbeat, energetic disco groove in the middle, it’s a must-hear!
LocomotionGrand Funk Railroad
This is one of their hit songs, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them emblematic of 1970s American bands.
As the story goes, the track was actually put together for fun during a rehearsal in the studio, and it turned out surprisingly good—so they decided to use it.
There’s an original version sung by Little Eva in 1962, and this one is a cover.
SuperflyCurtis Mayfield
It’s a hit single cut from the film of the same name.
This dance track features Curtis’s sweet falsetto and standout trumpet playing.
The bass in the intro feels great, and it’s a funk masterpiece brimming with a sultry, mysterious vibe.
