The Meters
Established soul group from the 1960's, The Meters were best known for their US
hits "Sophisticated Cissy" and "Cissy strut". A comeback in
the mid 1970's produced one album, and the track lifted from this as a single
("Disco is the thing today") is a typical disco track of the era,
incorporating bouncing basslines, swirling violins and wah-wah guitar. This was
also the first 12" on the Reprise label.
Disco is the thing today (Reprise 12" PRO 636, 1976)
