Song Of The Day - "This Is The Right Time" by Lisa Stansfield

 Stansfield first appeared on Coldcut's dance floor classic "People Hold On" and followed it with her 1989 debut album, “Affection.”


She wrote and scored several sophisticated Barry White-inspired disco hits off of the record and then seemingly disappeared. In reality, she did release several follow-up albums but failed to reach the heights of her debut.

The rise and fall of both disco music and short-lived mid-70s disco group Calhoon

He survived the rise and fall of disco. Then his life started over in St. Petersburg.  Billy Stewart, who sang and played keyboards in the ’70s disco band Calhoon, walks around downtown St. Petersburg hanging up concert posters for Daddy Kool Records. Stewart gets paid $2 for every poster he hangs up.  ST. PETERSBURG — Billy Stewart walked into the chocolate shop with an arm full of concert fliers and a roll of clear tape. "Hello," he said to the shopkeep. "Could I put up one of these Daddy Kool posters?" She said yes, and Stewart got to work, thumbing off swatches of tape and tacking the posters up in the window. Sister Sledge's  We Are Family  was playing on the radio overhead. Funny thing: Stewart used to play with those guys. "Oh, yeah, a lot of times," he said. "Up there at Madison Square Garden and Nassau Coliseum. We played with them a good six, seven times at different venues. They were really good friends, and very sweet." Madison Sq...

Kermit The Frog with The Frogettes - Disco Frog (Disco Club Version)

Image
  “Disco Frog” is a song sung by Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street. It was recorded for the 1979 album Sesame Disco!. Kermit later performed the song on The Muppet Show in episode 418. In this version, Kermit wore a leisure suit and danced on lily pads in the swamp. Kermit danced in front of a black background, and puppeteers were dressed in black so that Kermit’s whole body could be used. In some shots, portions of the black outfits worn by the performers can be seen. Kermit was joined by many frogs (including his nephew Robin) and an alligator. Music Video The video of this song is a mixture of Kermit the frog and his female frog puppets singing and dancing in the full moonlight by the swampy waterside and regular people dancing at the discotheque.
