Looking for the name of 2 '70's disco songs
 
Last year, while was outside in the city I heared to '70's Disco songs (or they sounded from that era).
One of them was "You're a lady, a disco lady" and the other one was something like "It's only pleasure" or "I know it's only pleasure". Both had male singers. That's all I remember. Can some one can identify the songs? :D

The first one is "Disco Lady" by Johnie Taylor. No idea on the other. Sorry.

That's "Disco Baby!" I have it on one of my oldies CD. I blast it in my workshop.
"Move it in, move it out, shove it in, round about, Disco Baby!" All the music seems to be Synthesizer based.
I'm a young going on 74. :thmbsp:

One thing I find interesting about disco:

"Disco was the last popular music movement driven by the baby boom generation."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco

Anyway, as much maligned as it is, and as cheap and crappy as some of it is, it definitely makes for good party music. You should get yourself some K-tel 8-tracks, I don't know what it is about that format, but it suits disco music perfectly.. songs all blended together in an endless loop, and accentuated bass to punctuate the dance music.

Yes, the K-tel tapes are a good bet. I don't recall finding any tapes filled entirely with songs by a single group/artist that I really like. Of course if I wanted to I could make my own mix tapes.

8-tracks were being phased out even by my time, but being a near lifelong Luddite I was hooked once I got my first stereo system with about five dozen tapes in late '90 or early '91.

Disco was the target of a lot of jokes even when it was popular. For instance, a first year Garfield comic strip had Garfield deliberately shed on Lyman's disco suit, and in Airplane! a disco station's transmitter tower gets knocked over by a Boeing 707.
