About Funk & disco

Funk and disco radio, live from Paris: Disco بول plays Michael Jackson, CHIC, Sister Sledge, Zapp, Rick James and Patrice Rushen on Wa3's Random channel. Seventies and early-eighties funk, boogie and disco — the records the samples came from, free in any browser.

Funk put the groove first in the late sixties and seventies — James Brown and The J.B.'s, Graham Central Station, Bootsy Collins — and disco carried it onto the dance floor: CHIC, Sister Sledge, The Emotions, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall. In the early eighties it slowed down into boogie and synth-funk: Zapp, Rick James, Shalamar, Change, Patrice Rushen, D-Train.

On Wa3 it all lives in one show, Disco بول, on the Random channel: a couple of afternoons, a late-night slot and Friday evening (Paris time). The hits sit next to deeper cuts — Good Times and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough beside Brides Of Funkenstein, Gwen McCrae and Garfield Fleming — for cooking, cleaning, getting ready to go out, or staying in.

Michael Jackson, Patrice Rushen, Zapp, CHIC, Kool & The Gang, Rick James, Shalamar, Sister Sledge, Brides Of Funkenstein, Change, Earth, Wind & Fire, Evelyn 'Champagne' King, Melba Moore, The Whispers, Amy Holland, Carmen, Cheryl Lynn, Dazz Band, The Emotions, Garfield Fleming
