Boogie Nights was a great example of dance music fused with musicianship. People like to rag on disco, but, there were some great jams set to a danceable beat -- the best of both worlds. I would say that Weather Reports, "River People" is another good example of something danceable, flavored with strong musicianship...I mean it's WR, FFS! lol

Alice Cooper's Goes to Hell was a concept album based on Disco Music ... Alice dies and finds that Hell is a Disco that he can not get out of. Here is the intro song.

I like the James Brown derivative funk guitar on a lot of these.

I've watched a lot of this guy's instructional videos, here's one he did of a Bee Gees song:


It's melodically complex for a pop song, but really works.

I thank God that Disco died quickly and we went back to rock.
