Let's go Bee Gees on this one. At times ridiculed as a leader of Disco music and having their records burned as a protest against the Disco sound. DJ's refused to play their songs. I can't speak for the feeling at the time but Disco's got some good head bopping, toe tappin, fun timin, hip shaking rhythm. Barry Gibb was also a prolific songwriter, who wrote some hits for other artists.

We'll start with a live acoustic performance of the Bee Gees singing (The Lights Went Out In) Massachusetts. A song that has that feeling of you know it but you don't know it and may have you asking , "what is that song with that melody".


He wrote the Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers hit "Islands In The Stream"
A cute moment in the song at 2:20 where Dolly messes up




He also wrote the song "To Love Somebody" which has been sung by numerous artists, I'm going with the Blue Rodeo version to comply with the CRTC regulations, but check out the Nina Simone version also.

Aren't we right around the 40th anniversary of the release of Saturday Night Fever? I recall seeing something about that.

I was a little young for Disco, but remember it well enough that it was just an early phase for listening. I was pretty much CKY and CFRW during that era, before discovering 92 and the whole FM dial type of stuff. I was never on the pro-Disco side of things being more of a rocker but looking in the rear view mirror I can easily see why it was so very popular.

I kind of see Disco as a precursor of technopop which I don't really love; or much of the autotune type of stuff that permeates much of the, er, Apple-waves, in recent times. People love to dance and it will always have an audience, even if that doesn't include me. Those people just want to have fun where I'm more in awe of musicianship. It boils down to personal preference.

This is way more my preference:



But I'm not going to begrudge anyone this:


But I can't see Travolta as anything but this:
