"Do Your Thing" by Gary Toms Empire

Gary Toms was the force behind this funky disco band from New York that almost cracked the Top 40 in 1975 when "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow Your Whistle)" peaked at #46. Their only other chart appearance came shortly thereafter, a cover of the Beatles' classic, "Drive My Car," which stalled at #69.

I assume the genre was simply too crowded at the time to let all the disco groups shine. "Do Your Thing" strikes me as a winner that had the makings of a classic anthem.
