On Saturday nights in 1982, WCIU Channel 26 in Chicago broadcast The Chicago Party, a variety show that featured fantastic dance music performed by local artists. Although the show only lasted a few months, recordings of the broadcast and the music are an invaluable look into how the South Side got down in the years immediately following the death of Disco, where the beat of Soul and RnB was being driven off the Pop charts but still going strong in the clubs:
The Numero Group has just released a compilation featuring music from bands and singers who performed on the show. The album is now in rotation on CHIRP Radio, and the tracks on it WILL get your feet moving! Can you say DANCE PARTY?!?!?
