It’s Disco Friday :)

I don't really think of "Slick Superchick" as "disco," per se, but (a)it's a great dance tune, (b)it's from the mid to late 70's, and (c)there's so much crossover that I figured it could work in a disco thread.

...as I was listening to the Kool tune, "Play That Funky Music" popped onto my head (Why? I dunno)...and it seemed to meld.

They put Sun Ra & his Arkestra to shame.

And, they probably didn't get paid any extra for wearing those suits. Nice bass line, though. Check out the chorus around 1:15.
