Customer Reviews:

Disco Treasure.......2004-12-24

Listening to this album is like a trip down memory lane to the golden days of disco. The classic Spank is archetypical 1970s disco with bubbly rhythms, chanting chicks and gorgeous flourishes of saxophone.

Dance Across The Floor with its propulsive rhythms and extended instrumental break was one of the biggest chart and dancefloor hits but the album includes a number of infectious ditties. You Get Me Hot with its tight bass lines reminds me a bit of Chic, whilst Gimme Some is quite soulful with a catchy riff and playful vocals that stick in the mind.

Another soulful moment, Goin' Home For Love is a beautiful flowing ballad whilst Let Me Be Your Lover is a funky track with prominent female backing vocals. Get Happy is a type of anthem for the disco generation, a buoyant little ditty with an insistent beat and I Get Lifted is indeed an uplifting slice of soulful disco.

There are also the gentle ballads, like Without You and the Bacharach-David song They Long To Be (Close To You). Jimmy Bo Horne may have been a disco phenomenon but this enjoyable album reveals that he made some memorable music that has stood the test of time.

is it in.......2002-03-11

this song is probably the best disco song ever made on this planet...

Miami Grooves.......2001-07-28

A passel of KC & The Sunshine Band sounds from '75-'79, plus the driving dance classic "Spank." A number of sexually charged tracks and some 80's sounds are part of the set. This disc enjoys the benefits of the Miami sound of the late 70's but avoids the dreariness borne of overexposure that KC's radio hits suffered.

You can't party without it.......2000-10-22

So many hits are forgotten along the years but this album is simply one of those classics which you will never get tired of listening, even if listened over and over and over....

Too good to be forgotten.......2000-07-26

Jimmy Bo Horne's music is simply too good to be forgotten. This CD is essentially a KC and the Sunshine Band collection with a different vocalist. Harry Wayne Casey and his cohorts wrote, played on, and produced almost everything here, so if you like excellent '70s dance music you will enjoy this. "Dance Across the Floor" is one of the best songs I have ever heard; I can't understand why it wasn't a huge hit back in the day (and who's that familiar voice singing backup? I won't say his name, but his initials are...!) Other fun songs here are "Ask the Birds and the Bees," "Let Me Be Your Lover" (sampled by Stereo MC's for "Connected") and "I Wanna Go Home With You" and "Spank." Horne even manages to coax a listenable performance out of "Close To You." Enjoy!
