Disco became so omnipresent in the 1970s that even mainstream rockers got into the act. Most notorious is probably Rod Stewart's " Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (where, let's face it, the spelling alone can turn a stomach), but he was by no means alone: The Rolling Stones had " Emotional Rescue" and " Miss You", The Eagles had " One of These Nights", and even Led Zeppelin had " Carouselambra" (which we charitably characterize as hard rock/progressive rock). I'd like to find more examples of this. Specifically, artists primarily known for rock/pop that sold their souls to disco for a track or two. In comparison, the Bee Gees were certainly pop rockers for years before switching to disco, but that was a complete shift in style and they're now almost entirely identified with their disco music - that might be of interest, but it's not primarily what I'm after. Any suggestions? Matt Deres ( talk) 00:35, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
