I love disco. Simple, feel-good, fun, body-swaying music that's perfect to get into while boozing.

If people were alive during this era, as I was, and visited at least a couple of hundred discos around the world as I did (I was in the service), you'll know that the stuff I posted here was the stuff they played. I seriously doubt anybody in those places gave a f-uck whether anyone thought it was "disco" or "funk." Me least of all. The whole argument is specious and tenuous at best. It boils to one person making himself the arbiter of what constitutes each and his reasoning is based on if he likes it then it's funk and if he doesn't then it's disco. If you bothered to go into the discos, it is clear that people didn't care. And I think they were right.

In the above link Rufus Thomas, the Staple Singers and Booker T are all classified as purveyors of "southern disco" on the Stax label. The album was released in '75 when disco was at its peak. The genre is classified as "funk/soul."

Much in the same way a discog or anthology site may put Rock/Metal in one category for their own listing purposes....that still doesnt make them the same genre

Rufus Thomas is most certainly R&B and is (IMO) one of the earliest examples of funk
