I looked at it as a continuation of soul, lots of great voices, and grooves, but ironically not necessarily done best by the established soul singers, but better by the singers that were having their moment(usually female). As there were so many studios around here at that moment heard lots that mostly went unheard. Up until five years ago there was an archive here that collected/cataloged everything of the era (40-50,000 pcs) then it went dark due to landlord problems. I largely agree with you, but there are exceptions. Diana Ross with Chic and these two.

I'm not sure about the established singer part; i mean, the Bee Gees were one of the biggest propagators of the disco style, right? But like punk in some ways, i really think it gave some struggling/outside players (musicians, producers, whatever) a shot, an in, a way to get into the charts.

Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) Am i alone in really loving this one? Most of you lot probably don't love disco as much as i do, but is there anyone who actively dislikes this tune? ( ok hatzy, fishy, dayodead, put yer hands down ) No, of course it's not anything new or revolutionary - it's a 2000 dance pop song built on a disco-era sample - but it has so much of what makes a great single. It's catchy as hell, there's a wonderful tension that develops between the languid vocals and the tight electronic beats, and the production touches give it moments of building and release that work extremely well whether you're dancing or just chilling. Are you with me?

It builds on the heritage of Disco. I don't mind it but little more.
