Disco Baby 1975 Album

Van McCoy & The Soul City Symphony

This is not a great album but it's a very enjoyable one if you're in the mood for it. Mid 70's disco rarely sounded this joyful and ethereal. The hit single here was "The Hustle", as undeniable a slice of roller disco euphoria as the era ever produced. And if you like that one, you'll probably dig the rest of this set too. About half the tracks are covers of familiar soul/funk hits of the day, but that's not as annoying as you would think. In at least a couple cases, McCoy's team actually improves on the original. As Disco was a singles-driven genre not known for producing consistently strong albums, this is probably among the best.
