About this episode
DISCO CHARCUTERIE
This episode of TTBA is a classic mixtape of disco, funk and soul, moving from The Three Degrees and Donna Summer through Crown Heights Affair and Ellie Warren. The Queen of Soul lifts the centre of the hour, with Level 42, The Whispers and Hi‑Gloss keeping the groove steady. A straight‑up celebration of rhythm from the late‑70s into the 80s.
