<< I will probably lose myself some street cred points here by
mentioning the next one... Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
...isn't this just the perfect disco record? >>
I remember when this was basically "underground"! It played fairly unnoticed
in clubs for a year before people accepted the fact that little Michael
Jackson had grown up, and with the help of Quincy Jones had done something
quite remarkable.
The rock world, the pop world, and the disco world all shunned Michael (kind
of the same as today) because he was a child star. . .and it took a while
before he was accepted in the mainstream. I grew up idolizing him, so I was
always faithful -- but got laughed at when I told people about this "new"
sound he had.
I had this record for two years before it got any air play on the radio. By
the time the songs started to hit number one, I was tired of it.
