____ __ deserves a disco resurgence.

Disco should have a disco resurgence.

Thread closed.

Uh, you may need to have disco have a resurgence first.

“Believe” wasn’t disco.

my vote is NICO

Sheena already attempted one in the wake of Cher’s Believe success. It didn’t work

Phylicia Rashad

Patrick Hernandez.

Audra McDonald as Disco Mama Rose. So we can argue about it.

Rebbie Jackson! A follow up to "Centipede" called " "Arthropod "

Sadly, I feel like uptempo dance songs in the standard format are practically over. I listen to Sirius channels for latest BPM songs and they just sound so - bland. No major hooks, no drops - just uptempo but vanilla.

I'd love to see Sheena Easton make a return. I think Debbie Harry would do well with another disco hit.

Patti LuPone? I'm down for any aging female singer with a GOOD catchy dance beat. I ain't picky. But it has been slim pickings the last 5 years for good new dance songs - IMO.

If Kate Pierson still has an amazing voice, I'll go with her.

Grace Jones, please.

Hear me out...

Blue Oyster Cult

What is this 1998?

Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes.

Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute.

Lynda Carter. Seriously.

Madonna

🎵 to be left outside alooooone 🕶️

Samantha Sang

Detective La Toya Jackson.

Pia Zadora, too.

Damn you people are old. And it’s hysterical. Sheena Easton hasn’t been on the radio since the great vhs/Betamax debate. There are full blown adults with adult kids who don’t know who Sheena Easton is. I was the cutest, most precocious child going around singing “My baby takes the morning train,” and scandalized some years later by Sugar Walls. I am 50 now. No producer is excavated those vocals.

A person in that comeback” stage similar to Cher’s would be Christina Aguilera.

[Quote] Trump mistakenly introduces male Latin singer Nicky Jam as a woman: ‘She’s hot’

Oh my god, “she’s?” Trump is a Datalounger. Hi Donnie!

Of course Trump is part queen. I love this guys rendition of his speeches.

Bjork

ok then The Darkness. They're perfect for it.

Britney Spears

R29, Here you go, but it somehow didn't catch the Zeitgest.

Giorgio Moroder - Tom's Diner (Lyric Video) ft. Britney Spears

Not exactly disco, but I nominate Robyn. She deserves a middle aged splash of music stardom. Loved her so much circa 2009-2012, and it's been a while. (her 2018 album Honey had some great tracks on it as well)

R18 It's already been done, toots.

One more for Debbie Harry

Babs Streisand

Charlene?

Zombie Ethel Merman

Rozalla, she never ages.

Laura Branigan!

I want to say Belinda Carlisle, but she already tried it…sad it wasn’t a hit, because I actually really like it.

France Joli

Susan Boyle.

Paula Abdul

Nana Mouskouri

R43 - I know who she is and I know about her glasses - but it's funny how there's an artist that is so well known and she could walk the streets in the US and not get a second glance.

I don't know any of her songs or her voice. Oh shit - she's 90!!!

I’m 68, and the death of disco was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

R45, It was one of the saddest events in my life.

Janet?

Karen Carpent…oh wait

Nicole J (Lillie) McCloud - One Good Reason 2025

Gloria Estefan

Fiona Apple

Joan Baez

Nana Mouskouri was often on TV in the UK when I was little. Her style was very gentle and folky. My grandparents loved her.

Willow Smith

Buffy St. Marie

Anita Baker

The legendary Ruby Turner!

Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Big Mama Thornton

Ashlee Simpson

Patti Jo - Make me believe in you

Catherine Zeta Jones.

Air Supply

Gwyneth Paltrow

R58 Didn’t they throw the first bricks at Stonewall in addition to creating blues, rock n roll and guitar playing?

Lola Heatherton

Milli Vanilli

Samamtha Fox is still young enough.

Alice Deejay

Boy George

R67 Don’t make her do a tour. At least one involving a plane.

The Captain

Jane Child

LIZA!!!!!

American singer and model Paul Lekakis

"Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)"

Double You

Deborah Cox

GLORIA GAYNOR!

I was going to say Streisand, but she already attempted that with her 'Guilty Pleasures' album with Barry Gibb 20 years ago, and it wasn't the success everyone though it would be. (Though why the track 'Night of My Life' was never released as a pop single in the US is baffling).

Life was fun and sexy during the disco era - totally opposite of today. No wonder why some of us look for a resurgence of disco.

Donatella Versace.

Diane!

Freddy Mercury

Betty Buckley

The most obvious answer is Madonna.

I truly have to believe she's got one last funky, dancy, catchy song in her. Make us forget the past 15 years of bullshit she put out.

Pull a Cher (Believe) in your 60s, Madge. You know you WANT to.

Uptown's I'm Losing You needs to go back in the reporting on occasion. Haven't heard it in many years.

*rotation* that is.

R84 - I LOVE that song! It always gets me out of my seat. I agree it's not played enough - particularly at gay bars. Not that I've been to a gay bar more than twice in the past 3 years!

It’s too late at this point but back in the late 90s Helen Reddy got the remix treatment with her recording of Surrender from Sunset Boulevard. She could have recorded a dance version of I Am Woman and had a club hit with it; there was a cover version used in the movie Trick that was fun and had some success around the same time. And I’d have killed for a club mix of Angie Baby!

Communards!

It doesn't work for everyone.

R87 That was just awful.

Back in the early 2000s there was a rumor that Olivia Newton-John had recorded a 'dance' album in which she covered new songs and cover versions of different disco hits from the 70s. Every few months it was 'being released' and nothing. Then it was being released in Japan only and available in the US as an import and nothing. A 'track list' was circulated - and nothing. 25 years later - and nothing.

After Donna Summer died in May, 2012, David Foster said he was 'shocked' as she didn't say a word to him that she was battling lung cancer. He had just worked with her in April, putting 'finishing touches' on the two albums they had recorded that winter. One was a disco album, the other was a 'standards' album covering songs from the 30s and 40s. Both were going to be released in the Fall of 2012....and nothing.

Lady Miss Kier! That first Deee-Lite album was such a fun trip back in 1990.

Also let’s give Grace Jones in her dotage one more gay club hit. She deserves.

Eva Marie Saint

It was released. It was just a couple of songs, not a full album. I think it was called The Hotel Sessions.

I'd like to see Petula Clark have s disco hit.

Petula Clark is still alive?!!

Diana Ross had an excellent dance song with "Take Me Higher" that should have been a huge hit in the US. That whole album is in fact excellent and she tapped in to the current R and B vibe of the moment.

Dionne Warwick. Even though she threw shade at Streisand for recording the disco duet with Donna Summer, saying Streisand needed to 'stay in her lane', and even though she claimed she never ever would record a disco song herself, she's forgetting that Luther Vandross wrote and produced two tracks for her to record, remixed them to death and released them to pop radio and to dance clubs in 1983.

Both were from her 1983 album, 'How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye ?' which Vandross produced. They were the second and third single releases from the album - "Got A Date" and "I Do It (Cause I Like It)" . Both failed on pop radio but were hits in the clubs.

R98 She promoted the hell out of it back in 1991, even performing at half time during the Superbowl that winter (she had a helicopter take her to the field). Alas, no one cared. The album - and the singles off the album - were massive flops in America. I barely listened to it when it was released. The only track I loved (and should have been released as a single / dance remix) was 'Battlefield'. The rest of the album was a mess.

That's Force Behind the Power R100.

R101 Never mind.

Take Me Higher was slightly better but a complete flop in the USA. I think by then she knew her glory days in the US were over. At least for album sales and radio play.

KD Lang- she has the chops to pull it off

R96, 97, Petula is still alive. I love her so much.

This Is My Song - Petula Clark "Live" {DES Stereo} 1967

Sheena Easton is doing a triumphant tour of the US this winter.

Taka Boom had two #1s on the US Dance chart, one in 1998 and then again in 2005. Chaka Khan is her sister, a Baby Jane and Blanche like no other!

Another vote for Gloria Gaynor!!

It's weird you're all naming senior citizens.

R109 - well - we are talking disco and we're talking a resurgence, so they're not going to be in the 20s, 30s or even 40s (like Beyonce).

Not sure why you'd call it weird - it only makes sense.

R109, I just posted Petula Clark singing, "This is My Song', which was written by Charlie Chaplin.

R111 - so even more strange that you're stating that point.

(By the way - I love that song - but I like Happy Heart even more)

Gloria Gaynor….. needs a grease fire.

I’d love to see Christina Aguilera get back to fighting weight and release a fun dance album

r112, Some of us have happy memories, but they're specific to a time in our lives. The AIDS years either make me cry, or make me numb.

R84, yes! Had the 45 back in the day. I love that song. It doesn’t seem to be on any of the streaming music services.

Everyone is clamoring for another club hit from Seduction!

R109 Disco was from 1975-79 (though in the early / mid 80s it was still around but relabeled 'Dance Music'). So if the artists were in their 20s and 30s back then - 40 to 50 years ago - they're senior citizens today. See how the math works ?

Lainie Kazan

Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

Oops^^

Love Spatula Clark

Ethel Merman. Her original disco album deserves another.

A lot of danceable pop was considered disco during that era when it was probably more another genre.

Miss Marie Osmond

Barbra Streisand

There was a techno hit with just her name over and over again 10-15 years ago - but I mean her singing.

Unfortunately, I can't think of too many new songs the past 5 years that I love. Is pop music dead? It sounds like it.

I'm tired of the mumble rap, low instrumentation and fuck rap. Put a fork in it - it's done.

Belinda Carlisle

Nina Cherry

Suzanne Vega

Jody Wheatley

that Penny something wo did Lady Bump.

The Bump killed Disco.

R126 You're thinking 'Duck Sauce'. That was the techno song with hr name repeated. She thought it was silly.

I mentioned up-thread her last attempt at 'disco' was 20 years ago with 'Guilty Pleasures'. Great album, but it wasn't the massive hit everyone though it would be.

Dionne tried a few years ago...

Here's the Duck Sauce song - it WAS silly - as any song repeating her name over and over could be. But it was a huge international hit.

Don't think she didn't play that song at home or at her parties - you KNOW she did.

The Merm

Valerie Cherish

Lucy needs a disco sequel !

I remember when this song was released in 1977, it was on my local radio stations all the time. It peaked at #24 on the Hot 100, #7 on the dance charts.
