I guess not many of you will know the movie of the Disco Era Thank God It's Friday from 1978. It's not as popular as the mainstream movies Saturday Night Fever (1977), the follow up Staying Alive (1983) or even Grease (1978). For example, here in Germany it was never released on DVD or even with german language :(
Even though it's worth watching it, many great Disco Classics are featured in this movie, like this one from one of my favourite producers Alec R. Costandinos.
Check out the Intro (reminds me a bit of the TV series CHiPs):
Music with funk, groove & soul. Discotizer presents his selection of the finest in NuDisco, Funky- & Disco-House, Soulful-House and also House Classics from the late 90s. He's running the weekly 2-hour radio show "Our House is Disco" on 54house.fm with DJ PaKo since 2011. Expect quality music, regardless of its age.
