    The Bee Gees, (Brothers Gibb), were the most popular disco act of the era. They wrote and performed the soundtrack for the movie about New York City's disco scene, "Saturday Night Fever". The movie was a huge hit and John Travolta became a superstar as the lead character, Tony Manero.

      Partially accurate. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977) had multiple artists & performers on the album, which had a total of 17 tracks. The Bee-Gees had a total of seven songs on the soundtrack. Three of the Bee-Gees' songs on the album were released prior to being added to the soundtrack: "Jive Talkin' was a single released in May 1975 from the band's Main Course album, "You Should Be Dancing" was released in June 1976 from the Children of the World album, & "How Deep Is Your Love" was released in September 1977 as a stand-alone single. This song was written just before the band was asked to write songs for the Saturday Night Fever motion picture as the band was writing songs for their follow up record to their Children of the World album.
      The Bee-Gees postponed their album & wrote four songs for the Saturday Night Fever motion picture: "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever," "If I Can't Have You" & "More Than a Woman."
      The Bee-Gees wrote all seven of their songs on the soundtrack but performed on all but one of them. Yvonne Ellliman performed on he Bee-Gees song "If I Can't Have You."
      Robert Stigwood, the soundtrack's producer, didn't go with the Bee-Gees own recording of "If I Can't Have You" & had Yvonne Elliman perform on the song, Her version became the fourth #1 hit from the soundtrack. Interestingly, she was originally supposed to record her version of "How Deep Is Your Love" instead. The Bee-Gees' own version of "How Deep Is Your Love"was the first single from the film & it reached #1.
      The Bee-Gees' performance of "If I Can't Have You" never made the soundtrack but was included as the B-side track to their "Stayin' Alive" single from the film.
      Also, the soundtrack included two versions of "More Than a Woman." The Bee-Gees' performance & a performance by the group Tavares.
      Other artists/performers on the album include: Walter Murphy "A Fifth of Beethoven"; David Shire "Manhattan Skyline," "Night on Disco Mountain" & "Salsation"; Ralph MacDonald "Calypso Breakdown"; Kool & the Gang "Open Sesame"; KC and the Sunshine Band "Boogie Shoe"; MFSB "K-Jee" & The Trammps "Disco Inferno."

    Another great dancing song from the same year is by the group "Wild Cherry". The song is "Play That Funky Music from 1976. You'll love this funky song by another talented band. I was 18 years old when these songs came out and that's the year I graduated from High School. Lots of dancing to these songs and the songs of The Bee Gees from the Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack. They had hits in four decades and wrote more than 1,000 songs. You can't go wrong with any song by them.

    Two of KC & The Sunshine Band's most famous songs were from 1975... "Get Down Tonight" and "That's The Way I Like It". Both of them came from the self-titled 1975 album. They were a bit more funky before then though... they had a great funky club hit in 1974 called "Queen of Clubs", which was way more funk than disco.

    Let's go! It's always cool to see reactors have a positive reaction to 70s disco. Now, to understand what disco is, let's break down is origins. In the 60s, people would go out dancing in clubs called "discotheques". These were places that played music you could dance to. In the 70s, disco as a music form came into play, known for their uptempo beats, lush string arrangements, and often horns and backing vocals to accompany the main song. I'd say the Godfather of disco was R&B legend Mr. Barry White. His Soul Unlimited Orchestra had an instrumental hit called "Love's Theme" which blew up the radio charts and dance halls in the early 70s. From there, disco took off as a way to escape the humdrum of AM radio pop music. So many pop, r&b and rock artists followed suit in this phenomenon to further the movement. Punk band Blondie had their first major crossover hit "Heart of Glass", then the Rolling Stones released their monster hit "Miss You" and of course, the Bee Gees had the greatest success w their soundtrack for the movie "Saturday Night Fever" and the rest is history.

    KC and the Sunshine Band was extremely popular in the 1970s, & the band reached their peak between 1974-1977. The band had their fifth #1 hit song in 1979 with "Please Don't Go" after their previous five singles couldn't reach higher than #35. The band's last hit song was "Give It Up" in 1983. The Band got their name from the band's singer Harry Wayne Casey, the primary songwriter & who is from Florida, the Sunshine State. Casey's last name was shortened to KC followed by Sunshine thus, KC And The Sunshine Band.
    The band was formed by Casey/KC (keyboards, vocal) & Richard Finch (bass guitar, drum, percussion) in 1973 & consisted of: Jerome Smith (guitar), Robert Johnson (drum), Fermin Goytisolo (percussion), Ken Faulk (trumpet) Vinnie Tanno (trumpet), Jerry Peel (french horn), Joe Singer (french horn), Mike Lewis (tenor saxophone) & Whit Sidener (baritone saxophone).

    I really enjoyed this. As a drummer and knowing nothing od Disco, I think you will find this fascinating on your own time. I don’t think it would make an interesting reaction video.
    Drummer Earl Young is credited for inventing the underlying beat that enabled or became disco. It is a fascinating 4 min conversation and demonstration about his 4 on the floor bass drum technique along with how he changed the down beat on highats. They first trotted this out with a group called The Tramps and a song called Disco Inferno. THAT would make an interesting reaction if you grab the full version of about 9 minutes. It may be the most agreed upon song in America in that nearly everyone loves it.

    Disco! I loved Disco. Disco has a unique history in music. There is American disco which is R&B derived and Euro disco which is techno derived. Donna Summer is a top Disco artist whose initial hits were Euro disco (she was working in Germany) produced by the still influential Giorgio Moroder who has inspired electronic dance music through today. Donna Summer's later Disco hits had a much more R&B derived sound to them, both were immensely popular. Disco also suffered a rather unique backlash few other genres had to endure. It was unique because it was from a subset of younger people (especially white males) rather than from older generations (you have to have a lot of hate to put a Disco Sucks sticker on your pickup, but they were everywhere). Disco was initially seen as "Black" music and also became heavily associated with the emergent gay community, which also led to quite a bit of backlash. However, it was a super popular genre, even old people were taking Disco lessons and the movie Saturday Night Fever catapulted it and the Bee Gees to the stratosphere. It could be one of the first genres to suffer extreme corporate exploitation with lots and lots of music being pumped out with little regard to quality, contributing to it's downfall. A number of Rock groups jumped on the Disco bandwagon leading to fan displeasure and a number of band breakups.
    Disco Demolition Night in 1979 was an event in Chicago where a local Rock DJ blew up thousands of records at a White Sox game. The shock waves scared Disco off the radio and led to the downfall of the Bee Gees, one of the greatest groups of all time who went on to write #1 hits for other artists. The Bee Gees went from owning the airwaves to being dropped almost overnight. The Bee Gees still had a couple of hits in the late 80s and early 90s and sold out concerts into the 2000s. You will probably see some Disco related hate in the comments. It's a long story but it's interesting. Interestingly, according to David Bowie in an MTV interview, Disco never died in Europe and he described New Wave as "disco with guitar played by white guys" (although Disco did also have white artists) as the reason it was so popular here, the same interview where he was questioning the lack of Black artists on MTV, when the MTV VJ said that MTV didn't want to scare white housewives in Iowa with Black faces, the look on David Bowie's face was hard to describe. Michael Jackson was nowhere to be seen during MTV's early days.

    Jim Carrey in his side job! Just kidding! Sure looks like he could be his brother though.
    Disco was hated by rock fans because, well, we wanted to listen to really cool guitar licks, riffs and solos, and other general rock greatness and mostly wanted to rock, not dance. ALTHOUGH... when I didn't want to listen to rock, sometimes some disco was ok, if it was a good tune, musicianship. And some of us made fun of the Bee Gees because of Barry's very high falsetto voice. Only Michael Jackson could get away with singing with a high voice. It was his natural voice.
