I am thankful to "Sabra" for remembering some of the disco songs that were played at Rollerland, a roller-disco and video game arcade in Danbury, Connecticut that I sometimes visited around 1982-1984. In Sabra's message in the "Rollerland" topic in Facebook's group "If you remember this, you grew up in the Greater Danbury Area", she listed songs she remembers hearing being spun there in the early 1980s by a DJ whose name she thought was Dennis Rutzel (the actual spelling of his last name is Roetzel).
Here are the disco ones extracted from her list:
Rollerland also played great funk, soul, and electro-dance hits of the early 1980s. Those included disco-friendly songs like "Too Hot" by Kool and the Gang, "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls, "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind and Fire, "Turn Your Love Around" by George Benson, "Give It To Me Baby" by Rick James, and "Love Come Down" by Evelyn King.
This list is precious. Thanks for sharing your memories!
Years later, in 2025, DJ Dennis Roetzel started a Rollerland Playlist at Spotify which lists additional disco songs including "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" by the S.O.S. Band, "Stomp!" by the Brothers Johnson, "It's a Love Thing" by the Whispers, "Make That Move" by Shalamar, "Boogie Nights" by Heatwave, "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross, "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang, "A Lover's Holiday" and "Searching" by Change, "Instant Replay" and "Relight My Fire" by Dan Hartman, "Disco Nights" by GQ, "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, "Circles" by Atlantic Starr, "Shake It Up Tonight" by Cheryl Lynn, and "Come to Me" and "Gonna Get Over You" by France Joli.
