How about,

Another One Bites The Dust - Queen

does that count?  ::)

That was a 1980 song, but I s'pose it could.  It had a disco sound to it :)

As already mentioned, the Bee Gees and their disco period, and how about these

One of These Nights -- The Eagles
Who Loves You -- Four Seasons
Trampled Under Foot -- Led Zeppelin
Miracles -- Jefferson Starship
Boogie Wonderland -- Earth, Wind & Fire

???

I don't know if I'd classify that as disco. 

Rock With You - Michael Jackson
Dancin' Fool - Frank Zappa
Gotta Boogie - Weird Al
Me And My Love - Larry Wilcox (yes, the guy from CHiPs)
Bond '77 - Marvin Hamlisch

'Here Comes The Night' - Beach Boys

Originally from their album 'Wild Honey', it was subjected to a godawful disco remake lasting over ten minutes (which was ten minutes too long, IMHO!) in the late 70s...

'Here Comes The Night' - Beach Boys


I'd almost forgot about that one.  Quite surprising they had success with it.  The best track on that album was 'Lady Lynda' by a mile :)

I don't know if I'd classify that as disco. 


Maybe it was just a song that was written after someone went to a Disco or maybe it's just a song that got played at one, either way it's nice sometimes to irritate The Eagles fans.


Anyway, I'm surprised no one mentioned some obvious ones, like

Philadelphia Freedom -- Elton John

and didn't Paul McCartney do a Disco? (other than 1980's "Coming Up" ?)

;)

Would "Goodnight Tonight" count? It's kinda disco-ish

How about:

Fame..David Bowie, it sort of had a disco beat

Love Hangover - Diana Ross

Love Hangover - Diana Ross


I'd forgotten about that one.  Speaking of Diana Ross, how's about her 1980 hit "Upside Down".  One of the few post-Disco Disco hits

Philadelphia Freedom -- Elton John


More representative of 'Elton Does Disco' would be his 1979 LP 'Victim Of Love', which always gets brushed aside, even by the most die-hard of his fans...

One of These Nights -- The Eagles
Who Loves You -- Four Seasons
Trampled Under Foot -- Led Zeppelin
Miracles -- Jefferson Starship
Boogie Wonderland -- Earth, Wind & Fire

I'd hardly classify those as 'disco'... ???

Neither would I, but I heard from people or read that they got played at the Discos along with the more obvious Disco songs.

I could see "Who Loves You" ... or maybe more "September 1963"

and didn't Paul McCartney do a Disco? (other than 1980's "Coming Up" ?)

"Listen to What the Man Said" and "Silly Love Songs" come to my mind.

Then there's "Get Down" by Gilbert O'Sullivan (?!?)

One thing that has intrigued me: On the 80's TV show "Throb", there was this 60's Frankie Avalon-type singer who wanted to go heavy metal in the 80's. One of the people said "Well, Joan Baez had a disco record in the 70's." Is this true, or do I remember that wrong?

"Listen to What the Man Said" and "Silly Love Songs" come to my mind.

Hmmm, I perceive there's some disagreement about what constitutes "Disco".  The only one of those three I'd classify as Disco is MAYBE Silly Love Songs, not the other two...  :-\\

(I'd call the other two straight 70's pop or pop/rock.)

But then I suppose that's what forums like this are for.  ;)

How about "Roundabout"?

I know it's "outside the era" and all, but it does have a little bit of a disco sound to it

... doesn't it?  :-\\

"Roundabout" by Yes ?
Never. It's far,far from Disco.

The closest Yes ever came to a dance song was probably "Owner of a Lonely Heart".

How about
"Steppin' In A Slide Zone" by the Moody Blues. If it's a Disco (I haven't heard the entire song), then that's a shocker.  :o

I don't remember "Miracles" being a disco tune...more like mellow rock.

There were different types of disco music. Bee Gees disco, Barry White disco, Elton John disco, etc.

Nope! "Roundabout" would actually be under Progressive Rock.

Being a Yes fan during the 70's, I had to say that. Yes was not anything close to disco.  I hated disco.

Agreed!  :)

True!!!  ;D  Even though there were MORE types of 70's music that were NOT Disco...  ;)

What about Don't Bring Me Down by ELO?

Yeah. I know about that little Bee Gee imitation they did.  ;D

I mention this one alot, but only because it's awesome ...

The 1979 hit We All Need Love by Troiano.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IZguklxbQo

The guitarist and founder of the project was the late great Domenic Troiano, who had never tackled Disco prior to the release of this song.  He was the guitarist of the rock bands Mandala (1967-1969), Bush (1970), The James Gang (1971-1973) and The Guess Who (1974-1976). 

This one was 1980, but it's a disco song by the Rolling Stones

Any time.  If anybody really wants their mind blown, check out this Disco-Ska version of a classic by Desmond Dekker, "Me Ears Are Alight".

Oh, and here is another one, by British ITN newscaster, Reginald Bosanquet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQmln-WNhvw

This is featured on many lists as the worst disco song ever.

One late addition.  I discovered this one while looking up a totally different song.  And just could not resist:

Now as an encore, I present Soeur Sourire (Better known as The Singing Nun), doing a disco version of her hit song "Dominique":

I'd forgotten about that one.  Speaking of Diana Ross, how's about her 1980 hit "Upside Down".  One of the few post-Disco Disco hits

Yeah, that one definitely has a "disco" sound to it...

Dear old Reggie...you'd have to go a long way to beat this!  :D

Talk about record company opportunism...oh well, someone must have bought it!

Not sure if this was recorded during his heavy boozing period...it was difficult to tell with Reggie!

One more!

(and it looks like this one is from Nov.,1978)

Don't forget " Golden Years". That had a good beat.

Here is one
Let me take you dancing by Bryan Adams it was way before his rock career. They sped up his voice so you can't even tell its him, but it is.
Dolly Part on had a disco song Baby I'm burning
Kiss I was made for loving you
Barbra Striesand with Donna Summer Enough is Enough
Rolling Stones I miss you
Ethel Merman had a disco album
Elton John Victim of love
ELO Xanad
Phil Collins Easy Lover
Nicholette Larson Lotta love ( although I totally disagree with this one, I worked on a lot of radio disco shows and this was a song they all played)
I don't know if you can count this but Pink Floyd had a song called Have a cigar and it was remade by Rosebud and set to disco music, it became more popular than the Pink Floyd version.

How about "Disco Duck" by Rick Dees?  Since he wasn't a disco artist, he was a deejay.

He wasn't much of a recording artist, either. He was primarily a deejay, like you said.

Disco Duck was just a one hit wonder.

This came out in 2004, but it still sounds pretty disco.

Philadelphia Freedom is a good song.

The Eagles made fun of disco with their song "Disco Strangler" off of the Long Run album.
