Ashford & Simpson - Love It Away

This one from '82, although I always thought it had more of a late 70's vibe with that Nile Rodgers-esque production. Oh and that's not Barry White and Patrice Rushen on the LP cover (contrary to popular belief)...

Ashford & Simpson
from Street Opera (1982)

Elton John - Born Bad

From Elton's justifiably overlooked Victim of Love. This track stands out as a fun camp disco caper which should be played loud and not taken too seriously (the latter somewhat of a given considering the song's title).
