wouldn't beegees "Jive Talkin' be disco?  Definitely Barry White and Love Unlimited Orchestra.  George McRae's "Rock your baby" was the #1 song of 1974.

Actually, according to wikipedia it was released in November of 1974. But yeah please list all those examples of disco before this. Maybe some Barry White but otherwise really not much pure disco imo. And no "love train" is NOT disco.

^ probably not...and if it's from 1975 it's nowhere near the first disco song, since 1974 was full of disco if not earlier.

Should that song really be mentioned in a prog forum though? Sure, it's good and it's arguably the first disco song but it's not even prog related. Ok, I'll admit those costumes are pretty prog but that's about it.Tongue

The only song I remember hearing on the radio was "Return to Fantasy" which I think might have had John Wetton as singer?

he played on the album but vocals were still in Byron's mouth...

did Cat Stevens have song called "Lady"?  The only one I can think of is "Lady D'Arbainville", one of his best songs  IMO

I didn't realize how big they were in the UK - 12 chart albums between 1971 and 1985!

damn right it is awesome Ken..  if you liked that one.. you might check out 'The Park' from the same album.

However Uriah Heep was pretty heavy...  I would recommend Salisbury from which both songs came from (and one of my first prog albums that exposed me to prog as a kid)... but it and U.H. rocked pretty hard.

Lady in Black is brilliant and would have got my vote if Lady Fantasy wasn't there.

A very good pick and you're right about this song Clap. A very close second to Gnidrolog's Lady Lake.
