[andivoid]

please may i have a cd copy of Life Is Fascination by the Richie Family. aside from Brazil that was favorite too. thanks...

[mrob75]

I'd have to say the best disco song was: More, More, More by the Andrea True Connection!

[ebntje]

@mrob75 I vote for "Let's Get It Together" -El Coco

[mjt11860]

my choice for best disco song of all time is "get down tonight' by kc & the sunshine band. superbad!!

[xxchinookxx]

First time I heard this hit was during a Dallas Cowboy game against the Los Angeles Rams in Sept. 1975. Dallas won 18-7

[Sergio196510]

Just plain fabulous. Remember when we thought that disco would never end? What memories!

[fanofprotopic]

@edwardjames50 who said it has ever ended? It still blazes out of my iPod now in 2012.

[kellyklove]

@fanofprotopic shit i still listen to all this music now on my i pod too i have it all i play it all the time

[fanofprotopic]

I agree this is an awesome record that really shows what a great producer Jacques Morali was, but I hope everyone knows that this song (and the other 2 songs on side one of the same album) are all remakes.

[Saudosista80]

Trilha sonora das vitórias de Emerson Fittipaldi na Fórmula Indy na Bandeirantes e cortina de fundo do Jornal da manhã da Jovem Pan AM até o ano passado.

[pastcineo]

wow! this song has so much... texture!

[davidtanny]

That beat has heart and soul.

[EasyStations]

I can't find Pinball on youtube at all

[mdmphd]

This was along the same lines as Baby Face and Chattanooga Choo Choo, taking songs from big bands and making them disco sparkly. Back then they were disco novelty. Best song? I would lean more towards Never Can Say Goodbye - GLoria Gaynor or in the techno stream, I Feel Love - Donna Summer, both of which were glorious on the dance floor. (Also Last Dance-DS, Heaven Must've Sent you-Bonnie Pointer, Instant Replay-Dan Hartman... my partner says Got To Be Real for funk and others)

[MikeCasa78]

What a CLASSIC...Remember this from 1975 like it was yesterday..Wow to be 15 again and music like this.....15 today..LOL!!! I feel sorry for the youth today...The music is way too TECHNO AND BLENDED INTO A GLASS..No originality whatso ever!!

[MiamiUrbanClub]

So true!! the music played at the clubs was the best, not the Top 40 pop

with a disco sound on the radio!

[Monstermack40]

I absolutely agree with you one thousand percent. Brazil by the Ritchie family is the Best Disco song ever made.

[azbaldy5]

good song but, THE BEST DISCO SONG IS.........THE HUSTLE !

[annemel27]

@azbaldy5 I have to agree with that. I loved the hustle in 75.

[DisneyAudioMagic2]

This song was first introduced in the 1943 Disney animated film "Saludos Amigos" where Donald Duck and Jose Carioca danced to a samba in the song called "Brazil". It was also done by Xavier Cougat, but just then, the Ritchie Family did a disco version of that song which was also used in the film "Saludos Amigos". As I was saying, nice version!

[oldschoolbx1970]

Thanks for posting this on here. I was four or five when my moms brought this on 45. When she either had her friends or my aunt over at the house,she would play it. She even played it at my grandmother's house,too.

[ajb33460]

You misspelled Ritchie in your opening credits. It's not "Richie."

[psvsia5555]

I hear MFSB (Salsoul) influences, but I definitely love this song!

[leoguy1979]

I totally agree with you when you said Fantastic is not good enough! I loved this song the minute I heard it back in like the mid 90's when i bought a collection of Disco Songs, I must of been 15 at the time. I plaid this over and over again...Love it back then and still do now. Always puts a smile on my face :)

[maddadram1]

Anyone who has lived through the disco era and hit all

the disco clubs in the 70's and early 80's knows that the

best disco tunes weren't the top 40 radio tunes.. you had

to go to the disco clubs to hear the real true disco music.

[leoguy1979]

@maddadram1 I wasn't around for that but wish I had been :( Yeah the best disco song were not the top 40 but the underground club once. The top 40 were more pop with a little disco beat....if that!

[dam2630]

@maddadram1 - THAT'S RIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!

[ThePrettycast]

原曲の「ブラジル」をこんな素敵なアレンジにするなんて、最高で­すね！

この曲が流行った頃、毎日の様に聴いていました。　パソコンなんてない時代でしたから、今、又　こうして聴きたかった曲を耳にすることが出来て　最高に幸せです。

このノリにしびれちゃいますねっ！

UPありがとうございます。

[DaveWollenberg]

They hit #11 in Billboard, 10-25-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[bjroberts65]

WEPA, WEPA, WEPA

[njplr]

What a gem! Has the Salsoul and Sound of Philadelphia sounds all over it. Not sure if I would give it the very TOP vote, but definitely in the Top Five. You're right, though, fantastic is NOT good enough for it. Thanks for posting.

[BobbyDelRiv]

You're right about Brazil being the best disco song.

[oooowwwwdddd]

i agree, this song is in a class of it's own! Thanks!

[IzzyIsou]

Wow! Haven't heard this in years! hate to sound like an old foggy, but the more I hear new music the more I prefer this stuff -- it sounds more REAL!

[MrStuartw10]

Wow !!!! This really brings back some great memories of the summer of '75 !!!

[crepinchristine]

Thank you for this song! I really love it!!!
