Has your head been spinning all around?
Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme
Come on along and have a real good time”

1000 Day Album Challenge (#44) Sister Sledge: We Are Family (1979) [13.02.24]
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me / that makes me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy…
I bought We Are Family sometime during the 90s. in sat in my collection primarily as a reference album for the three big disco hits - He’s the Greatest Dancer, Lost in Music, and of course, We Are Family which was the theme song for Willie Stargell and the 1979 World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. I must still have football on the brain because I almost typed Steelers.
I believe I was at least semi-oblivious to the fact that We Are Family was very much a Chic production. Bernard Edwards (bass) and Nile Rodgers (guitar) wrote all of the songs, played on and produced the album. Tony Thompson (drums) and Norma Jean Wright (backing vocals), both original members of Chic were also featured on We Are Family.
sure I played those songs from time to time, but I hadn’t really checked the album out. sitting right there, all that time, as the last song on the first side was Thinking of You which would become a disco favorite of mine. it seem like all of a sudden, around the late 90s or early 00s I was encountering reference after reference to Thinking of You. it was showing up on lists and I was reading about DJs I liked playing it out.
it occurred to me, “hey I own We Are Family I should check this song out.” I don’t remember it being instantaneous, but soon enough I fell in love with Thinking of You. I started playing it all the time. that opening guitar lick, the light conga playing, the strings, the hint of the sweet bassline, and then those beautiful vocals. the pattern was the same every time. I just couldn’t prevent myself from being drawn in. why would I want to?
I know some of you out there are not disco fans. I probably can’t break you of that right away, but maybe if you check out Paul Weller’s acoustic cover from 20ish years ago you can realize Thinking of You is an excellent song without the anti-disco bias sneaking in.

@solr313 Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson; one of the very best rhythm sections in modern music. Nile Rodgers' guitar riffs; perfection! The man's a living legend.
THIS is Disco and if you can't get on board with it... well, I guess there's just no hope for you. I mean, just check out that bass!:
