Donna Summer - Bad Girls
Slave - Just a Touch of Love
Diana Ross - No One Gets the Prize
Heatwave - The Groove Line
A Taste of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie
Sylvester - Do You Want to Funk?
Central Line - Walking Into Sunshine

If you're gonna pick a Tavares song, Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel's gotta be in there!!!!
 
"I Will Survive" -- Gloria Gaynor
 
"Fly , Robin, Fly" -- Silver Convention

I can still hear Dale Dorman singing in the background............WRKO, WRKO, WRKO, WRKO.

Some great "disco" tunes heard on The Big 68 RKO
Groove Line - Heat Wave
Boogie Fever - The Sylvers
Disco Lady - Johnnie Taylor
Bad Luck and other tunes by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes
Most of Barry Whites mid-70's hits
Most of Donna Summer's mid-70 hits
Dancing Machine
Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton
Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston
And the list goes on.
Not to the mention Saturday Night Fever soundtrack as well.

So yes Virginia, there was disco being played on Boston Radio prior to KISS 108 and WZOU, let us not forget WBOS Disco 93 for a brief stint.
