Re: What Were Your Favorite Dance Songs from the Late 70s/Early 80s?

I have a lot but I'll try to narrow it down:

 

Slow:    Always and Forever

             Reasons

             This Masquerade

 

Fast:    I Love the Nightlife

            The Hustle

            I Will Survive  

            You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

           Anything by Earth, Wind and Fire

           Rubber Baby Bumpers - I don't know if this is the name but

              it is very obsure as I can not find anything on the Internet

              with this title or lyric.  It was a great dance tune.

Loved ABBA and pretty much most of the songs from that era!  Today's music is no comparison.  I'm going to see Peaches & Herb next month....can't wait....we'll be reuniting and it will feel so good!!!
