The Jacksons were one of the most sucessfull disco acts ever..

all of the family albums were so heavily influnced in disco.. but what other music was there that really made young kids get on the floor like that... we talking late 70's early 80's

if you want to talk disco funk then you talking "Lets get serious" by Jermaine which was produced by Stevie Wonder ...

But, Just like many music forms disco got watered down to the point where songs at disco elements but were not put in that category..

no different than Jazz.. John Legends song ordinary people is a straight ahead jazz joint but its not called jazz...

the same thing is going to happen to hip hop as well a lot of music coming out by artist like Future... Etc straight singing over beats and calling it hip hop...
