This is the most complete, thoughtful and accurate documentary on disco I’ve ever seen. Nothing is missing including the importance of the Sound of Philadelphia. I lived it, loved it, and sometimes hated it. I also played it as a DJ and understood its importance as a gay man.
Actually, both Gloria Gaynor and Sylvester have also been referred to as the Queen of Disco… look it up. Ironically, Donna ran from that title because she wanted to sing other types of music. Sylvester, being openly gay and vainglorious flamboyant, embraced the moniker, and often referred to himself as the Queen of Disco.
@Darhyl Lacy Definitely. Unfortunately, music and the arts have been placed on the background. It's not viewed as important anymore. Music is viewed as disposable.
Hi there! I just I want to thank who ever watches this that I thank you very much for visiting and that I am glad that this video is being viewed more now. I think everyone who is into disco or any electronic music should watch it, very educative as it shows pretty much the roots en demise of disco. Thanks again and you all gave a nice day.
Why have all the comments been removed that had anything to do with the incorrect information, in this documentary ? .... I have been here before and notice they have all been removed.
Dennis Jacks No idea! The only one that can remove comments is me and I have not remove anything, actually I don't even have a clue of what comments you're talking about.
I'd like to add a few deserving names to the list of once fabulous names in Disco: Jackie Moore, Claudja Barry, Patrice Russen, Debbie Jacobs, Cheryl Lynn, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Bonnie Pointer, Tina Marie (RIP) and Anita Ward - just to name a few.
An interesting documentary, and yes, why the heck is Madonna included here. As for our Queen, Donna Summer, she never went on the gospel tour circuit, and for that matter she never recorded a gospel album (she did a few one tracks here and there). As for her concerts, Donna's hits (save for Love to Love You, Baby) were always the focus of her concerts, and after 2003, Love To Love You, Baby was back on the set list. One of her greatest moments came in 1998 when she headlined one of the last major benefits for the Gay Mens Health Crisis at Carnegie Hall. I was there, and it was a night to remember.
@@yvonneapicella1077 She isn't a Queen of Disco, she has no hits during the disco era so to accredit her with the other well known disco artists here is a massive insult to tons and tons of the other disco artists who were actually putting out music during that era.
@@phoenixforce6595 this is a BBC documentary disco was still going on in the early 80s in the UK. Her song Everybody was in the discos here in the US. She’s not a queen here. I am very aware of the real queens thank you
@@yvonneapicella1077 lol Everybody is NOT a disco song. And disco had already ended by the time that song came out. If you think Everybody is a classic disco song then you need to go do your homework. One underground sub-par record does NOT make her a disco queen. Enough of this foolishness.
The accusations of those hateful AIDS comments were never traced or sourced and were always denied by Donna. Ask why she didn't just apologize and be done with it, she said she refused to apologize for something she never said. Love you, Donna. BTW, Pattie Brooks looks beautiful!
I'm not particularly into disco but I enjoyed this documentary. I especially liked the attitude portrayed by Sylvester and Grace who did things their way.
What's funny in light of disco's inflated rep for sucking is that really it's what hot atm, and has been for some time now. Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk, N*E*R*D, some Bruno Mars even... It all has that late '70s/early '80s disco-funk sound. Hell, Daft Punk's last record had Nile Rogers playing on the hit single, and another track about and _named_ Giorgio Morodor. Also Michael Jackson and Prince are each enjoying yet another of their regular popularity surges. Their early, dance-funk records sound so current today. Even Gaga has a sort of disco aesthetic, not that she does much of anything with it imo.
Gosh, poor Donna Summer... I knew she ended up regretting her dance music career-- and always resented the fact that we live in a fashion that is so conducive to such unnecessary guilt-- but I never knew she'd attempted suicide! I wish so much that I lived in NYC in the 1970s. So much was going on, and my favourite city was one place where it was all happening. My first love is punk, but all kinds of artistic and political and societal tumult was going on at the time, it must have been so exciting to have been around it.
Whitney Houston was on many disco records In the 70s as a background singer. with help of her mom Cissy and The Michael Zagar band, Whitney was on a few of his albums as a background track. Chaka Khan to me wasn't a Disco artist, she was a R&B artist that made dance records.
First Madonna was not famous in the 70s second Chaka Khan was more funk third Sylvester and Gloria Gaynor only had a few hits and grace jones had like 2 hits and last Donna summer is the true queen of disco and should be at the front of the list in this documentary
The Beeb: the gold standard of documentaries, be it Plato or disco. Can you imagine PBS having the cujones to include Sylvester among the "queens of disco"?
At the end of the day, the endless beat and rhythm brought us in a transition unparalleled by anything else. Would that be disco, rock, reggae, hip hop, house, electronic, new wave .... they all enable us to escape in another dimension: freedom of the soul!
Enjoyable program, but I agree with many of the other commenters that Madonna does not really belong here (although I love "Vogue"). I would have likely included Diana Ross instead.
As Grace Jones said in the last line of the documentary, “the world changes, but the dance goes on.” Madonna may not be a “Disco” Queen, but she is most certainly a Dancing Queen. She is the bridge between Disco to Dance music, with 50 #1 hits on the Billboard Dance charts.

As a person on the dance floor many nights a week I would agree Madonna was certainly not a Disco Diva. Anyone who knows the history of how Disco came about and expanded into mainstream should know that. She was a pop singer. However, her music was played in the clubs.

The year I graduate from high school , was 1976 , we call us Disco Babies . The place was call , Xenon's at 124 west 43 street . It was Oct 1979 and it was it to party up . The guys own Studio 54 , also own Xenon , mean [ stranger ] . I party there twice and had a ball . Disco is still in my blood and it can't be replace . They say Disco is dead , but it can get resurrect at any time . any place , any year , and in any body heart . Disco lives ON .
Sylvester is a man and Madonna has nothing to do with disco ! Thelma Houston or Britain's Tina Charkes who had several disco hits in the mid 70's are missing ! Poor BBC ....
Sylvester might be a man, but he was most definitely a Queen, an openly gay and outrageously flamboyant artist who could sing higher than most women. Not all “queens” are women when you consider sex vs. gender expression.
You ever see that advert where she tries to eat Adam Ant? Haha, I think it was for Vespa scooters or something, I don't remember. She is so girly in her interviews though! "I'm going to do a champagne burp... --erp-- (giggle)."
The only songs Madonna made that were played heavy in the clubs was Vogue, and justify my Love. That's it..and they didn't come out until the early nineties...she was way more pop than disco..
I think Diana Ross should have been included because her disco records were very good, epic actually. Madonna should not have been included...this was not her genre or era. She was 80s pop, and she couldn't really sing like the Disco Queens did and could. THANK YOU for including Sylvester because I love me some Sylvester.
This doc focused too much on 'Popular' radio disco women. The Queens of Disco were the ones who produced songs like Shame (Evelyn 'Champagne' King), Come to Me (France Joli) and Donna Summer (Mac Arthur's Park Suite). Madonna has no place on this list because in an interview--at the beginning of her career--she stated flat out that she had actively AVOIDED doing Disco songs. As for Gloria, and Chuka, nope. Neither of these women were ever as popular in the actual Discos as were The Ritchie Family, (African Queens); Dr. Savannah's Original Buzzard Band (Cherz Chez La Femme) or Cheryl Lynn (Star Love).
Hola mi hermano, mira nomas presiona el boton donde dice CC y te dara la opcion en que lenguage lo queres traducido, simplemente para mi es un documental muy largo de traducir yo mismo. Luego corria el riesgo de que RUclips me bloqueara el video. Gracias por escuchar.
Madonna is no disco queen… I can understand why Madonna fans would want her to be on this list. but I lived through the disco era, and there was no mention of Madonna anywhere in the disco scene. This is the one and only time anywhere that I have even heard Madonna been mentioned in disco era.
Also I can't believe great Disco Diva's like Loleatta Holloway and Gwen Dickey aka Rose Royce have been shafted for Madonna. Whta were the BBC thinking?
BBC is utter rot. The end of Disco was largely due to racism and homophobia not due to the poor quality of Disco. The quality of musicianship was hardly improved by the schlock that came after disco.
#Madonna shouldn't have been in this Documentary; she came along in 1983, well after Disco had died down; she was more pop than disco. The other ladies were definitely fixtures in the #Disco scene. Although #Sylvester was big during that era, adding him as a Queen does him disservice. The real Queens from that era were #Donna #Gloria #Grace & #Chaka. Good documentary nontheless.
madonna is not a disco queen,madonna does not enter there,for me they would have put the silver convention,viola wills or roberta Kelly,definitely for madonna the title of disco queen is too big,she started in the 80's
Why the hell is Madonna included in this? I was around during this time and can tell you without a doubt, Madonna was NOT disco. She was pop! Putting her here is an insult to real disco Queens. I feel like the producers simply wanted to insert a token white woman in the documentary but couldn't find one so they settled on Madonna since Niles Rodgers wrote her song Like A Virgin. You could have used Cher for crying out loud. She would have been more believable than Madonna!

Indeed it is still possible to create some new Disco tracks ruclips.net/video/dkYsw5Bwa8k/видео.html
Keep in mind that for many younger audiences, Madonna was an intro to the disco genre. It’s not a competition.
They Were other Divas, Diana Ross, Vicki Sue Robinson, Thelma Houston, Bonnie Pointer, France Joli...Etc.
I wonder, Is Whitney Huston is one of them?
Gosh, poor Donna Summer... I knew she ended up regretting her dance music career-- and always resented the fact that we live in a fashion that is so conducive to such unnecessary guilt-- but I never knew she'd attempted suicide!

Madonna is definitely a queen, but NOT a DISCO Queen
They are kind of positioning her as the bridge between disco and pop, as one who made it okay to still listen to dance music.
And neither is Chaka Khan. She was an R and B and funk singer who had hits during the disco years.

Totally agree. Disco was WAY before Madonna.
They did the crappy 90s remix version, "I'm Every Woman"
