Music Lists #17: Boogie Songs

Putting together the recent episode of Retrospace Radio got me thinking about how many damn songs have boogie in the title. It has its origins in the blues then swing bands. The style and term was used now and again in rock and blues for those repetitive "shuffle rhythm" songs.  However, the disco era really took the word "boogie" and wore it out.... and I mean wore it out.  The number of disco 'boogie songs' is legion.  Only a fool would try to count them all.  Well, I am just such a fool.

Yes, I'm going to attempt to list every boogie song of the modern era.  So, I'm not going to include all those old blues and swing songs.... that'll be a job for another blog.  Here, we're lookin' primarily at the 1970s and a smattering from adjacent decades.

I'll need your help dear readers.  If you know of any oversights, list them in a comment.  When all is said and done, we may just have created the definitive boogie song database.  Eat your heart out Wikipedia!
