Disco Nights is the debut album by American soul/disco group GQ, released in 1979 on the Arista label. The lead single "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" was a major crossover hit, topping the R&B chart and peaking at #12 on the pop chart. The follow-up, a cover of Billy Stewart's 1965 classic "I Do Love You", also made the R&B top 5 and the pop top 20. On the back of its hit singles, the album became a big seller. It reached #2 R&B and #13 pop and was certified Platinum (one million copies shipped) by the RIAA.

This album should not be confused with a later GQ compilation of the same name, and with a similar cover image. (The Allmusic website confuses the two, containing a review of the original album but the track listing and cover art of the compilation.)

All songs written by Emanuel LeBlanc, Herb Lane, Keith Crier and Paul Service except where noted.
