Disco began as a gay, black, and brown underground New York City party music scene, which alone was enough to ward off most rockers. The difference between rock and disco was as sociological as it was aesthetic. At its best, disco was galvanizing and affirmative. Its hypnotic power to uplift a broad spectrum of the populace made it the ubiquitous music of the late '70s. Disco was a primal and gaudy fanfare for the apocalypse, a rage for exhibitionism, free of moralizing. Disco was an exclamatory musical passageway into the future. 1978 was the apex of the record industry. Rock music, commercially and artistically, had never been more successful. At the same time, disco was responsible for roughly 40% of the records on Billboard's Hot 100, thanks to the largest-selling soundtrack of all time in Saturday Night Fever. The craze for this music by The Bee Gees revived The Hustle and dance studios across America. For all its apparent excesses and ritual zealotry, disco was a conservative realm, with obsolete rules like formal dress code and dance floor etiquette. When most '70s artists "went disco," it was the relatively few daring rockers who had the most impact, bringing their intensity and personality to a faceless phenomenon. Rock stars who "went disco" crossed a musical rubicon and forever smashed cultural conformity. The ongoing dance-rock phenomenon demonstrates the impact of this unique place and time. The disco crossover forever changed rock.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, LMU Munich, course: Proseminar "Popular Music & American Society, 1955-Present: An Introduction", language: English, abstract: The term "genre" is often confusing. When asked to categorize certain songs or groups into musical genres, many people will probably have trouble to do so. There are many genres, and not all of them are accepted or even known by everyone. Some genres are hard to tell apart for many people. One of the more widely accepted genres is disco. Most people would, however, not regard it as one of the most important genres in music history. Common associations with disco include the Bee Gees, the Village People, and the movie "Saturday Night Fever". Disco, for most people, is easy-listening and has a slightly tacky image. But why was disco so successful during the 1970s? And how come that with the disco revival of the 1990s, the shadowy existence of disco during the 1980s was exchanged for retro reminiscence? The fact that disco is not considered an important part of music history is shown by its rather stepmotherly treatment in literature. Of the literature used for this work, the books Just My Soul Responding by Brian Ward (though containing a fairly short section on disco) and A Change Is Gonna Come by Craig Werner, both proved to be very useful regarding the evaluation of disco as a product of its time. The books Hot Stuff by John-Manuel Andriote and Saturday Night Forever by Alan Jones and Jussi Kantonen are less scientific, but in exchange they both offer very enthusiastic inside views by people who seem to have lived for disco in the 1970s. Both are thoroughly researched and full of interesting additional information. The purpose of both books is to raise awareness of the importance disco had on the music industry, and on the people themselves, back in the 1970s. The lack of literature on disco is in a way compensated for by many

Donna Summer seemingly rose from nowhere to become the Queen of Disco in the Seventies. She recorded the sexy song that could only be played after midnight, "Love to Love You, Baby" and became an overnight success. There was a smoldering sexuality about Donna Summer that the record companies constantly tried to exploit. But, Donna just wanted to a simple God-fearing girl. Her life was not without its trials, but Donna was at the top of her game in the Seventies and the Eighties. When disco fell out of favor, she switched to a more rock and roll format and just kept going. Winner of Grammys and American Music Awards, she hit the Top 40 twenty times. She had several number one hits, like the iconic "MacArthur Park," "Bad Girls," and "Hot Stuff."All the Legends of Rock & Roll books are essentially biographies, but I am interested primarily in the music. You'll find that the emphasis is on the music, how it came to be, who wrote it and performed it and any juicy tidbits about any given song or album.If you're a fan of Donna Summer or of disco or enjoy the music of the Seventies and Eighties, scroll up and buy now. You will enjoy it.
