Now I'll grant you that some Disco records had Gospel-ish VOCAL performances ( Weather Girls, Sylvester, Loletta Holloway and a gazillion other over-the-top Femal vocalist), and a LOT of Gospel artists Disco'd it up in the 70's ( Candi Stanton, Tata Vega, Deniece Williams, and a few others branched out to Disco/Club Music and went back to Gospel in the 80's)


But I don't really see Disco as the next evolution from Gospel. I'd actually connect Jazz to Disco before I'd connect Gospel to Disco.
