"Disco Lady" is a 1976 single for Johnnie Taylor that went on to become his biggest hit. It spent four weeks at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and six weeks on the ''Billboard'' R&B chart in the U.S. It was also the first single to be certified platinum by the RIAA;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History Of The Awards )〕 ultimately it sold over 2.5 million copies. ''Billboard'' ranked it as the No. 3 song for 1976.〔Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1976〕 The single was Taylor's first for Columbia Records, where Taylor signed after his long-time label, Stax Records, went bankrupt. The song was produced by Taylor's long-time producer, Don Davis.〔(Disco Lady song review ), Allmusic.com〕 Among the guests on the song were four members of Parliament-Funkadelic: bassist Bootsy Collins, keyboardist Bernie Worrell guitarist Glenn Goins, drummer Jerome Brailey and Dawn's Telma Hopkins. "Disco Lady" was the first Hot 100 number-one hit with the word "disco" in its title, though there had been several disco songs that had already reached number one. The single also reached #25 on the UK Singles Chart. During the 1980s, the song "Disco Lady" was spoofed in a popular PSA for the American Cancer Society in a promotion called "Dragon Lady." (The "Dragon Lady" in the commercial was played by a teen-aged Robin Givens, who turned off all of her peers by her excessive smoking.) In a first season episode of ''That 70s Show'', Eric repeatedly sings the chorus of the song to appease a drunken Donna. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disco Lady」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
