Hi, I'm Djaying a party tomorrow for an older crowd (everyone is in their late 40's-50's) . I'm trying to put together a playlist that consist of 60's and 70's music that includes Disco, Swing, and Salsa music. I'm more of a hip hop dj so this type of music isn't my forte. I only agreed because it was a favor to a friend. Can you guys suggest songs for each category. I'm pretty much covered on the Disco...but swing and salsa I'm lost. I just want the crowd to be on their feet the entire night having a good time. If you have any song suggestions that are upbeat or if you can point me to a website or DJ videos I would much appreciate it. Thanks!
