De 100 beste discohits aller tijden

Beste discohits combineren baslijnen, dansbare ritmes, soulvolle zang en producties die zelfs decennia later nog een dansvloer wakker krijgen. Disco groeide in de jaren zeventig uit soul, funk en rhythm-and-blues en legde daarna een flink stuk fundament voor dance en house.
