This is volume five and it is one of my favorites because it includes some little known disco ballads amongst the hits. Picks like Sparkle never hit any charts, were not even released as singles and yet got dancefloor recognition as a great song to slow dance to. Sun had minor dance hits, but nothing for their ballads. Even Donna Summer who rocked the charts throughout the late 70's and early 80's only had Last Dance as a "slow" song in the charts and it was only partially a ballad. Heatwave had both disco dance charters and ballads that are still being played. Their song here is not the "hit" and yet has all the makings of one. Should have been one. That mix of picks in this playlist is what make it so special.
