inspired by they weren't disco but they went disco s/d
the most extreme example i can think of is gilbert o' sullivan who released his flop comeback 1990 single 'SO WHAT' to radios in a house-d up remix on a white label. i think even the standard version was house-y too.
there must be hundreds though from the early 90s late 80s era. obvious and otherwise.

i guess Madonna was always close to it but a few of her big hits between '89 and '91 seemed closest.
remixes of big artists seemed to replace the trend of the big artists switching style directly e.g. tori amos 'professional widow' and everything but the girl's 'missing' altho they'd turn to dance directly after that. guest vocalists on dance albums was another factor maybe.

Madonna was house-influenced first and foremost from "Express Yourself" through some of the tracks on "Bedtime Stories". She then moved on.

(although you could make a case for the "Ray Of Light" being sort of house too, I guess)
