Disco Saturday Rapture 2011

Well there is talk about May 21st being the time of Rapture, the end of the world as we know it. But not before you get your Disco on!

Might as well start with "Rapture"


So if the Rapture happens and people begin floating upward, will some land on the moon?

"Float On" by The Floaters


"How High The Moon" by Gloria Gaynor


Before the rapture is complete lets celebrate the birthday of "Butch" Tavares, born May 18, 1948. He is one of the Tavares brothers who had some of our favorite Disco tunes. And even though the world may end tonight, we don't want you to take away our music.


"Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel"


It's also GRACE JONES birthday this week, born one day after Butch Tavares on May 19, 1948

"Slave to the Rhythm" (1985)


"La Vie En Rose" (1977)


Also celebrating a birthday this week is CHER and here is her disco hit "take Me Home" from 1979


And Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers celebrates his 70th birthday on May 21st.


Now that we got the birthdays and the Rapture issue covered, how about we just GET DOWN to some disco business! Dance you ass off to these party people! If it really is the end of the world you might as well go out with a groove.

Hamilton Bohannon "Lets Start The Dance"


And finally, just in case this is the last day, lets walk on some sunshine.
