Faith are saddened to hear that Amp Fiddler has passed away. The king of the new era of Detroit Soul. RIP

Our thoughts are with his family friends and all the musicians and producers who knew him.

Harold Melvin was disco perfection.
Loleatta Holloway was disco perfection.
Donna Summer was disco perfection.
Sylvester was disco perfection.
ABBA were no doubt an amazing pop act but are far removed from the roots of the culture.
So we will have to disagree. πŸ™

For the BBC to include ABBA, Leo Sayer & Tina Charles, John Paul Young compounds their selection. A horrific take on a culture steeped in soul! They have simply whitewashed the genre. These are the records that killed Disco! Zero soul!
Where are Harold Melvin, Donna Summer etc

Out of all the incredible archive footage the @bbc must have in their vaults they pick YMCA, Laura Branagan - Gloria & Gloria Gaynor - I Am What I Am to highlight Disco as a genre.

I pray the pending doc is significantly better in its curation πŸ™
