When WKTU (103.5 FM) throws its annual disco ball, it goes straight back to its dance roots, and tonight's Disco Ball 3 at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, 7 and midnight, continues the tradition.
J.T. Taylor of Kool and the Gang is on the bill with Laura Branigan, Thelma Houston, Loleatta Holloway, the Trammps, the Blue Notes, France Joli, the Sugar Hill Gang, Candi Staton and Martha Wash of the Weather Girls.
Not to mention Sherman Hemsley of "The Jeffersons" and Gary Coleman.

Here's a lovely pic of Thelma which also belonged to Yvonne Fair's personal collection which I purchased after Yvonne left this world... you can read the autograph Thelma wrote her...
