Its hard to nail down the first disco record because it was sort of a gradual progression from more traditional soul music, but the question was put to a panel of experts, some of the most prominent DJ's from that era, and the consensus they came to was that THIS SONG was the first ... and even if you hated disco, don't pre-judge and not listen, this is a terrific record no matter how you feel about disco.

I heard this first song during the NBA finals last night in a LeBron commercial, so I thought I would post the full version here, followed by a second Brenton Wood classic, both released in the same year.

But in the song imagine by lennon their is a lyric saying imagine their is no God.

My Sweet Lord is George Harrison. He was not an atheist. Lennon might have been, but Harrison wasn't.
LOL Oogum Boogum means she's casting a spell on him, a metahor for "he's crazy about this girl" and likes everything about her. Listen to the lyrics and its pretty cool, and yes, it is a very catchy tune as is the other one, Gimmie Little Sign, and they were both hit records in the same year (67), two 60's soul classics.
Same here, uc, only I'm a generation ahead of you. For me it was too young for Vietnam and too old for the Gulf War. But I vividly recall Vietnam which was ongoing throughout my entire childhood and didn't end until I was in JHS, so I wasn't that far away from being draft eligible when my turn came, and where I came from dodging the draft was not even an option, it was shameful, when your time came you suited up and served your country, so I knew a lot of guys in my neighborhood, my friends older brothers, who served in Nam', most came back, but some didn't.
PS. I just saw where you said your dad was too young for Nam and too old for the Gulf, so he and I are probably close to the same age, give or take a few years.

Glad you liked it. Sweet, a long with ELO and Styx were the first bands that I really got into as a kid. Sweet had some hits in the U.S.(they were huge in Europe), Little Willy, Fox on the Run, Action, and Love is Like Oxygen. My all time favorite by them is "The Six Teens".
