We are closing this weeks update with the glittering Soul Oasis (aka Sammy Rock) reworks of Marvin Gaye's "Got to give it up" released in early 1977 (the song has an interesting back story where Motown Records wanted Marvin Gaye to record a disco album but he refused, eventually he wrote and recorded this song to parody the disco genre).
