Here's something newer, more recent. While she was hip hop, Rihanna has not "crossed over" as I know; she seems to blend genres. I'm not an expert, maybe someone else knows more. But I do love her music and have been inspired by it.

Never been in a Disco. By the time I had a girlfriend, they were long gone, and the building that used to be the Disco Den had become a bingo parlor.I remember being in a disco, and they played it as a song between songs.
Yes, I remember American Bandstand and Dick Clark. Some good memories there!Dragonoake wrote: ↑Sun Apr 16, 2023 7:52 pm

I remember my 8th-grade music teacher playing it for us, and it may have even been on American Bandstand
For those not old enough to remember American Bandstand, it was the MTV of the 60's and 70's
I swear Dick Clark is immortal, he looked the same in '59 as he did in the 80's.![]()
Maybe that why they called him The World's Oldest Teenager![]()
No, they did not last that long oddly. But, I was young when I went, under 10; my mom took me.Never been in a Disco. By the time I had a girlfriend, they were long gone, and the building that used to be the Disco Den had become a bingo parlor.
If you're a Disco fan, you'll remember this one from about the same time.
