As evidenced by their name, Disco Tex the Sex-O-Lettes were a dance/disco outfit and one of the genre's originals formed in the early '70s (just prior to the world being swept up in the disco craze circa #Saturday Night Fever). Formed by Bob Crewe and Sir Monti Rock III (born Joseph Montanez, who was a teen idol/talk show regular of the '60s), the gay-oriented group scored a pair of sizeable hits early on in their career, 1974's Get Dancing and 1975's I Wanna Dance With Choo, as well as several full-lengths, including a self-titled release and Manhattan Millionaire (future dance singer Jocelyn Brown supplied backup vocals for the group for a time, as well). The group faded from view shortly thereafter, but with a renowned interest in '70s nostalgia came the '90s nad the group's two hits found their way once more on countless dance compilations. The group was also name-checked by the Pet Shop Boys on the song Electricity off their 1996 release Bilingual with the lyric "It's the greatest show with the best effects, since Disco Tex & the Sex-O-Lettes." ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
