Disco Par-r-r-ty

Disco Par-r-r-ty is a various-artists compilation that captures the transition from classic soul and funk into the emerging disco sound of the mid-1970s. Bringing together established soul performers, funk pioneers, and early disco stars, the collection reflects the dancefloor culture that would soon dominate clubs around the world.

The compilation features influential artists including James Brown, Gloria Gaynor, Kool & The Gang, William DeVaughn, and Millie Jackson.

Musically, the album ranges from hard-driving funk grooves and Southern soul to sophisticated dance music and early disco classics. Standout tracks include Gloria Gaynor's groundbreaking disco hit "Never Can Say Goodbye," James Brown's funk anthem "Get Up, I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine," and William DeVaughn's smooth soul classic "Be Thankful For What You Get."

The result is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in popular music, when soul, funk, and disco were increasingly overlapping to create a new dance-oriented sound.
