The era of Disco!

For many people, Disco is the genre of music most readily associated with the 1970s.

First appearing in dance clubs by the middle of the decade, with such hits as "The Hustle" by Van McCoy, songstresses like Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor and Anita Ward popularized the genre and were described in subsequent decades as the "Disco Divas."

The pinnacle of disco was the December 1977 release of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, starring John Travolta and featuring the music of the Bee Gees and several other artists. It had the effect of setting off disco mania in the United States. The Bee Gees soundtrack to" Saturday Night Fever" became the best-selling album of all time until 1983 when Michael Jackson "Thriller" broke that record.

It was 'Disco' that transformed the music industry in a way that elevated producers, overshadowing artists...the EVOLUTION was underway.
