First Choice is a seminal American female vocal group known prominently for their soulful voices, infectious rhythms, and pioneering contributions to the disco and dance music scene. Emerging in the early 1970s under the Philadelphia-based label Philly Groove Records, the group originally comprised of lead singer Rochelle Fleming, Annette Guest, and Ursula Herring, although over the years, the lineup saw several changes with Fleming remaining as the constant driving force. Their music, characterized by lush harmonies and empowering lyrics, quickly made waves, capturing the essence of the disco era.

Over the decades, First Choice has left an indelible mark on the music industry, not just through their original hits but also through a consistent stream of re-releases and remixes that have reintroduced their music to new generations. With tracks like "The Player (He'll Shoot You Down)" and "Love Thang," alongside collaborations and reworks from contemporary producers and DJs such as Dam Swindle, Alan Dixon, and Late Nite Tuff Guy, First Choice's legacy continues to resonate within the dance music culture. Their music, a blend of classic soulful melodies with modern dance-floor sensibilities, showcases their timeless appeal and enduring influence on the genre. Whether through original classics or vibrant re-imaginations, First Choice remains a quintessential emblem of the evolution of disco and dance music.
