Boogie Wonderland

ARABESQUE      An all-girl Euro Disco trio from Frankfurt who were far more popular in Japan and South Korea than they ever were in Europe. Arabesque changed their line-up for almost every album, although hardly anyone noticed. Oh well, In for a Penny, In for a Pound. Sayonara. 

AQUARIAN DREAM      It's all aboard the Soul Train where the stars are in alignment for disco sensations Aquarian Dream, the creation of legendary producer Norman Connors. 

1979          67           1           Aquarian Dream - You're a Star - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG5GnCwS_EA

ANTONIA      An invitation from Latin-American lovely Antonia Rodriguez to "Dance with Me", which is probably the best offer I'm going to get today. 

Let's Go Disco! In the words of Andrea True Connection, I want More, More, More! Every night's a boogie night here at ProgArchives. It's your One Way Ticket to Disco Heaven. After all, where else would you go for all of the best (and sometimes the worst) disco music? No, don't answer that. 

You know what that banner heading means. It's time once again to put on your boogie shoes for.....

Don't worry, I already checked to make sure there's no Black Lace on the playlist. 

PHYLICIA ALLEN     You may know Phylicia Allen better as Clair Huxtable in The Cosby Show, but here she is with her loving tribute to Josephine Baker - the world's first black female movie star! No surprise if Phylicia's album sounds somewhat similar to the Village People, as she was once married to Victor Willis (the Village People's motorcycle cop). So they're not all gay after all.  

A LA CARTE     A tasty all-girl Euro Disco trio from Germany served up A La Carte - or indoors if it's raining. 

2 PLUS 1      2 Plus 1 adds up to a Euro Disco trio from Poland who sound like a low budget version of ABBA. Super Duper!
