Simply put, Don't Leave Me This Way gathers together some of the greatest dance records you'll hear in one place. From the perennial traditional floor fillers such as Gloria Gaynor's ‘I Will Survive’ and Rose Royce's ‘Car Wash’, to classics that paved the way for disco (Manu Dibango's ‘Soul Makossa’ and ‘Love's Theme’ by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra), and groove extravaganzas such as Hamilton Bohannon's ‘Let's Start The Dance’ and Ohio Players' ‘Fire’ - these are 20 tracks of sheer joy. Compiled by Daryl Easlea, the author of acclaimed book Everybody Dance: Chic And The Politics Of Disco, Don't Leave Me The Way is an instant party on two LPs.
