How the US grew German Disco Music
Disco Tuesday with some US Armed Forces contribution
I have to admit I like most of these songs that have been produced in Germany with highly valuable influence by Americans long ago - I was actually consuming this kind of music when growing up.
After world war II Germany was divided into some party and a major area was controlled by the US army. America did introduce us to chocolate, chewing gum, Coca Cola and music. A lot of these US soldiers socialised in our country and some even decided to stay. It was for sure beneficial for the local music scene.
US ex soldiers did drive German Disco scene in the 1980ies / 90ies
Here is a small collection of US veterans that had a successful career in music - it was the time of Eurotrash where a lot bands / project came up with new electronic beats from German producers making use of male rappers and female singers - it was a very successful period for German Music Industry. Which of the tracks in this post is your favourite? Any memories around it? Stories? First kisses?
So richtiger Disco Sound ist das ja schon nicht mehr. Aber in den 70ern gab es tatsächlich Beispiele für das, was Du sagts.
Ganz berühmt: Donna Summer, eigentlich Amerikanerin, hatte den großen Durchbruch mit den unten angeführten Titeln, die von Giorgio Moroder und Pete Bellote produziert und in München aufgenommen wurden. Damals (1975) lebte Summer in Deutschland.
Besonders "I feel love" hört sich immer noch gut an, es war irgendwie seiner Zeit voraus. Ist auch schon zig mal von anderen Künstlern gecovert worden, seit damals.

Von den Bands die Du zeigst, würde ich noch am ehesten Snap anhören, aber dann lieber das hier:
Aber besser noch gefällt mir sowas aus der Zeit (um 90), auch wegen dem (man sagt, erstem) ungeschnittenen Video:
modern, contemporary german disco music can be an interesting topic to explore, good idea for one of the upcoming #discotuesday. Thanks for inspirations :)
