Disco Fever Lives Forever!

Well, maybe not, but for awhile it was the dominant dance music for a generation...then they wised up and went back to rock and roll.

I wa but a young lad when this craze was in full swing. The '70s; you know, the polyester-clad dudes and poofy-haired girls in sequins and rhinestones, all dancing the night away and trying to act cool and live up to the standard that John Travolta had set in Saturday Night Fever. But the thing is that disco was all through the '70s, not just '78, when Fever came out.

Be that as it may, there were some...let's just say...interesting music that came out in this era.

Oh sure, there were old standbys like ABBA...



The Bee Gees, 'natch...



Oh yeah, The Village People were in their glory, too. And don't blame me for the subtext, here....



Then there were also-rans like John Paul Young...



Gloria Gaynor (leading to the inevitable joke, "whatever happened to her??")...



And then, of course, came the one that should have weathered the storm, and still been playing to sold-out crowds this very day, maiking millions of dollars and sweeping every Grammy nomination ever awarded: The Seebach Band.



So yeah, disco still lives...even if it is on life support now.

Dope out, man.
