Tellin' me you wanna go
As we danced the night away
I wanted you to stay

For me one of the best songs of the Disco era. Has a certain magical vibe. The drums, the beat, the understated vocals. Miss those days. Wish I had the money to open a club for people my age- " to dance the night away".

This was one of the last hits of the Disco era. I loved this song but never could get a copy. Finally hearing it again so many years later! 😸
