Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Favoriting August 21, 2024: The 16th Annual Evan "Funk" Davies Show Disco/Dance Party!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!



In 1976 or '77, in thrall to punk rock, I sauntered into the Harvard Coop, a big department store in Harvard Square, made my way to the customized t-shirt department, and picked out a blank gold-colored shirt. I then selected the black block letters that I wanted to be heat-transferred onto that shirt:

D-I-S-C-O S-U-C-K-S.

Ultimately the shirt didn't get much use, although that was more because my Mom didn't care for the salty language.

Fast forward a few years and I'm in New York City in the sweltering summertime, between semesters at NYU in the late '70s and early '80s. I still love punk and its offshoots, but listening to Ken "Spider" Webb and Ricky Ricardo and, of course the Chief Rocker Frankie Crocker on WBLS has made me realize the folly of that t-shirt. Fast forward several more years and now every summer I start itching to play my favorite records from that era (give or take a few years) -- favorites I loved back then, and recently acquired records that I never heard back in the day.

In that spirit — despite today's less than sweltering temperatures, at least here in New Jersey — I'm excited to bring you the 16th annual Evan "Funk" Davies Show Disco/Dance Party! Hook up the disco ball, pull the rug back and turn up the volume!

=======================================
Disco/dance disclaimer! I'm keeping the lines blurry and using "disco" and "dance" as catch-all terms for my own take on fun dance music from the mid-70s to the early '80s, expanding the boundaries (and sound) of the traditional disco era. Don't @ me!

Mr DJ, you mentioned WBLS- back in 1976 soon after moving to NYC, I mostly listened to that station, blasting it on the stereo, I had to dive on the volume control when the commercials came on, most objectionable were the Crazy Eddie commercials and Jordache Jeans. It was during the lengthy commercial breaks, I’d twirl the tuning knob and found WFMU- soon after I was tuning to WFMU more and more until it became virtually the only station for me. Good to hear these vintage disco sounds!
