- Here it is! From beginning to end. All 15 minutes, 24 seconds! Have NO doubt...this is the single greatest #1 Disco song of the 1970s!!! VERY IMPORTANT! YOU MUST LISTEN TO IT COMPLETELY TO SEE THAT I AM RIGHT (because the song gets better and better as it plays on). Only a few came close to this one: "Love in C Minor" by Cerrone, "Disco Nights" by GQ, "Souvenirs" by Voyage, "Come to Me" by France Joli, or "Love is the Message" by MFSB. Yeah, close, but not close enough. ROMEO AND JULIET WAS THE BEST!
I Teared up listening to this CLASSIC thinking about how GREAT everything was back in the '70s
i hear you im in tiars right now i see my self in the dance floor right now like the disco days
I was born in 1976. My sister is 14 years older than me. My earliest memories of life is this song and watching her dance with her friends before going out on a Saturday night. I am 45 years old today and my 8 yr old and 6 yr old sons are learning how to dance to this with my sister 💗💗💗 no song like this exists. Childhood in New York 💛
Let’s go! My mom is around your sisters age, I’m 28 and now showing this gem to my 2 yr old. NY represent. 718.
Same as me watching my cousin's getting ready to go out ..waitingfor the day would be my turn.. had so much fun and so much damage when it was my turn..
This is!!! DISCO at its BEST this amazing long 12 inch play it just doesn’t stop and it just gets better and better amazing arrangement ❤
Aún la bailamos en los bailes de BOOGIE NIGHTS!!!!! 🎵🎶
Yes In New York We Represent 2023
Disco dancing every night in San Juan, Puerto Rico. No worries. Only joy. No need for alcohol or drugs. Our addiction music and dancing w our best attires.
That's the background I come from. Puerto Rico in its golden age.
I used to go from Camuy to Isla Verde to the Flying Saucer to dance 🕺 all these awsome music.
I live for DISCO !!! I wish , I wish I could go back to my time back in the 70”s and 80”s . Music was clean, pure and lots of beautiful talented people. I’m 59 , but damn I’m a healthy 59 and I don’t care what the non-believers think, I got old school music blasting out of my expedition all the time, just beautiful wonderful disco music, you name it m I got it . Over 3000 disco hits , I was very happy in those times, just cruising with my friends in my 79 Camaro berlinetta , going to the gallery and trying to sneak in on studio 54 , and than afterwards to White Castle around 4 in the morning, eating belly bombers , good music, good friends and so so food, but we had fun and nobody was looking for trouble
Wow..crazy.i wish too.best times with the fly music to hustle too!!!!😂
Thanks for the AWESOME memories!!! I SO SO SO miss those days....just like you describe ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅
Me too I agree with you 200%. ❤
I was 19 years old driving a beautiful 1976 White Low Rider Grand Prix, blasting "Disco Music" with the windows down, feeling so Happy! Carefree! I could easily go back to those decent times, had so much fun.
@@lindamarconi2913You're right, even the cars, which were still mostly U.S made are
part of the NOSTALGIA and definitely none of the DRAMA, CHAOS and DIVISION that we
sadly have now!
None of the absolute INSANITY of today!
back in 1978, my first car in high school was a 1977 Lincoln continental MK V, last era of the those enormous cars as gas prices were cheap and heard this song over the radio at the dealership when I first bought the car.
What were ya doing to afford a Lincoln in high school? Lol
I am 65 and grew up in the era of real songs composed by real artists! ❤
IMO this is one of the greatest disco song ever and 40+ years later when I listen to it, I am 17 again dancing in a disco
Me too 😉😉👍🏻💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺
me too!
April 2023 and still in love with this music ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥👑👑👑👑👑👑
Amen ❤
We're a progressive metal band, but I continually tell anyone who will listen that this is not only the GREATEST DISCO song of all time, but it is a masterpiece across all genres! Everything about it is truly unbelievable; the changes, the vocals, the arrangement, the musicianship, the complexity...And let's not leave out the obvious, it's over 15 minutes long and you not only never get bored, but you're sad when it's over!
More people need to spread the word about this amazing treasure!
@BustofNefertitiMusic You have class. I couldn't agree with you more. This is a Disco Masterpiece. A music Treasure. I Love my Disco as much as my Classic Rock. From a Musician's standpoint, I honor your critique on this song. You have excellent taste in Music. You're my Hero. Thank you for being real. I was 13 years old in 1980 when the Disco Sucks campaign was in full force. It hurt me deeply as a young teenager. The rockers would make fun of me because I Loved Disco music. Now 40 years later, a real Rocker musician like you gives this Disco song the Holy Grail of compliments. You are the greatest. You're a real Rock Star and a true Gentleman. ....Joe Montemurro (Rochester, NY)
@@joemontemurro4210 Thank you for the awesome compliment! It's great to be able to share ideas with people who truly appreciate music! People shouldn't be bound to any one particular genre. After all, music is able to cross any and all boundaries! We should listen to whatever we like!
They weren't making fun of you for liking Disco. They were making fun of you for not doing what they felt was acceptable, essentially rejecting their crowd and their inability to feel comfortable when not following whoever they felt was their leader. Feel good about being yourself being the mature one in the face of that and truly leading. You are the strong one.
M mo
I was 🎉
That is me too. I am 72. When they ask me why do you look so young and happy. I know. Dancing disco 10 years. San Juan Puerto Rico. Best fashion. Sophisticated. Best songs. My drug of choice art. Dance. Music. 😊 so grateful. Indescribable bliss.
This is the single most important musical masterpiece of an era, when music had meaning and was melodic, when it was romantic and made you fall in love if only for one night, when it stirred your soul and made you feel it deep inside you. This is "real" music, the quintessence of Disco at its very peak and the perfection of an orquestral arrangement, that only Constandinos and Ray could produce. I will never forget the very first time it was played and how it made me feel then. Thirty-seven years later, it's still a profuond and powerful statement of what dance music used to be. Thrilled to see other expressing their sentiments, for Disco will never die...
Peter Castillo well spoken bro, not my generation but this song transcends that gap and I know EXACTLY how you feel because I feel it too man.
YES!!!
Greatest love story ever told...
"Thrilled to see other expressing their sentiments, for Disco will never die..." So true!
The combination of tech & strings. It's so perfect...these songs went on forever because you just couldn't stop dancing to them.
I'll never forget 79&80's it was the best times, anyone who says disco sucks is crazy, I lived it and enjoyed it with all my heart
As an 80s baby this record is truly undervalued and underappreciated
DISCO IS LIFE. Without DISCO, I would never have survived the apocalyptic NEWYORKCITY of the 1970s!!!!!!!!
You said it . heat wave..Son of Sam.. blackout....fucking looters!!!
THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!! THIS ORCHESTRA IS TRULY AMAZING!!!! THIS IS A MASTERPIECE IN TIME :) REALLY SO TOUCHING!!!
You right, it's terrific👍Kicks😁
Well said Sonia there will never be another Song like this.... Elevates the Spirit!
I didn’t hear this song since I was just a teenager!!! I love it…And now I am listening and crying!Because it brings me the best times of my life!I was about 13 years old and now I am 56 and this songs still touch me deeply inside!Lots of kisses from Brazil 🥰🥰🥰😘😘
I am surprised no one has mentioned how Alec actually took the prologue...word for word from Shakespeare's play. Masterful integration with musical arrangements that captures the tension in the story along with harmonious blending of eternal love with orchestral precision
Amazing analysis and take on this…love it
Well said
Alec Constandino genius.
Best song. I did notice that and brought the 12" to my AP English teacher to show him.
Re: prologue. You hit it on the nose. Plus you're getting a great story in just about three full acts
My favorite disco song, I was born in 1966.🎉
How can anybody thumbs down this? clearly clueless. Just because your young doesn't make you wonderful.
Such memories of my dNce years
.I have hustled to this song for ages
This, my friends, is colossal disco! A Costandinos masterpiece!
ROMEO & JULIET!
AT 65 I STILL HAVE
THE MOVES!!
72 and I have them too!
I am a proud 60 and still remember dancing my ass off to this in all the NYC clubs!
Me too I just carry an inhaler and plenty of Icey hot !
Let’s go 💃 🕺 dancing!
These songs just take me back !! I Had so much fun! Worked, went out on weekends not a single worry in the world, just being young and having the best time of my life, wearing the largest fashions 💕❤️
I have never listened to anything like this my entire life. The instrumental breaks, the vocals, the tempo..This has bl🤯wn me away. The best record I have listened to 🙌🏽🖤💯🇰🇪
Absolutelly Agree
You have excellent taste. I lived through the first years it came out. For me it's the #1 disco classic.

Sorry to all these singer's today, U will never be able to capture that true Greatness of what we will always love, and get down and dance to the Best House Music ever!!! Disco still Rules!! So step aside!
@@jun24juanhuerta14 dont forget the hunch back of norto dame by alex c
Danced it to the end. When people asked why do you look so great. Never gain weight. Dancing dancing. The joy was indescribable.
The dance floor was our gym and in high heels!
❤
WOW! NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS MASTERPIECE.
I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW LUCKY I WAS TO HAVE LIVED
IN THE 70S TO DANCE TO THIS MUSIC!
so sad that my generation does not have this amazing music. I was born 1990. My mother loved disco but she did not have this track. I am proud to say that I found this one on my own lol. There is a small generation of folks in my yrs that are proud house and Disco fancs. IM KEEPIN IT ALIVE
This is a tough song. Many sleep on this track, but I'm glad that young people are discovering disco!
Same here omg we are all finding each other on this post lmaooo! I would wake up to this every Sunday to clean the house with mom and sisters. I realized when I became older that disco/House was the precursor to club kids of the 90’s. Proud to say my mom was a club kid of the 70’s!! Love this song and the emotions attached to it. I feel alive in my soul man!!
that is so refreshing to hear.when i was a kid i learned about and listen to what my parents were into when they were young....i always wished that kids today would do the same because there is so much great, classic music that shouldnt die.Disco was an important era in time. the music has influenced and transformed into todays music. it was one of the biggest music phenomenon in history that hasnt been seen since. Its up to the the youth to keep the past alive. you are a breath of fresh air. god bless
This was a wonderful era for the Baby Boomers. We met our friends every Friday and Saturday night and we had our dance partners. Dancing 5 songs in a row was no big deal, did not even get tired. The girls wore beautiful dresses w/high heels and the guys wore suits.
This music reminds me when life was innocent and in LOVE
AGREED! I noticed in some comments. other 70's Disco pioneers were mentioned. which credit is due to them as well. HOWEVER this arrangement. stands alone on the highest level of phrase.. just in the transitions that each tell a story. the other artist focused more on the sound & electronics which was the birth & DNA of what we now call EDM. Georgio gave us Donna Summer..he stands in a pillar all by him self with that achievement... this is underground disco at its best..not that Guido saturday night fever music. that was so over rated when the movie came out...music like this is what we really danced to in the clubs of the bronx...
Romeo & Juliet by: Alec R Costandinos & The Syncophonic Orchestra is a beautifully orchestrated melody that will forever be in my memories. I love Disco music. As far as l am concerned, there is nothing else that makes me more happy than this beautiful music.....
Amen Spectacular👑🙏🤗⚜️🎁🎄☃️💝
Beautiful melodic disco concept album by one of the euro disco kings of the late '70s.Born in Egypt by a greek mother (his father was armenian) Alec R. Costandinos here signs his masterpiece of his whole career! It was a huge hit in New York and topped the Billboard Disco charts back in 1978! I feel lucky to have this perfect work of art in vinyl.
You are so right! So do I!
Alec is a genius
Probably the best disco arrangement ever!
I was 15 when heard this song I see myself dancing the night away August 2024 still rocking to this song 🎵 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
This track is so amazing.
Alec Costandinos is a genuis. If only this music was available though!
best disco song of all TIME hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never tire of listening to these wondeful songs. The old is new to me. Good music has no expiration date.
I used this song for a disco dancing contest long ago. What wonderful memories listening to it again.
WHOS LISTENING 2021 - THIS IS AMAZING :) shall strive to mend!!!!

BEST DISCO SONG OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
I love everything about this album. The lyrics and the music. I was 29 when I first heard it. I still have the original album. The orchestra is magnificent. Best Disco music ever. I still listen to the album Romeo and Juliet by Alec R Costandinos on a regular basis. The long playing songs made the hustle dance popular in New York City and Long Island.
I won my first hustle dance contest to this gem on Long Island.
Days of Gold!
Will never forget the 70's when I hustle the night away and got beat down from my mom when I home in the morning from the disco....Every weekend was bad at it high as a kite....I'll always love my mama remember that song..RIP MAMA
My favorite disco song ever

Greatest disco song ever written
This is the ultimate song in my life! It has not changed since 1978 ❤️🦋❤️🦋❤️
Best times for sure🎉
Yes it is the best of all long versions
This song brings me back to NYC at the disco dancing all night 👍👍
Love to listen to this awesome song !!!! 1979 to now!!! 🏃♂️💪🏽
Beautiful song, I have to listen to it over and over again. I don't get tired of it.
going to the clubs in the late 70s & 80s..i love & remember them all..been married for 37 years.I'm 75 & we still know all the moves..loving it
I danced this on my sweet 15 party.......a very Cuban coming out celebration. ...1978...oh how the years have flown......but it takes me right back to that moment in time
Unforget !
I agree with you Deisy! I'm also Cuban American from Tampa, Florida, I grew up with that music, I'm now 59 years old and I still love that music, I've still kept most of my vinyl records from back of those days.God how I miss those days, I won advance contest dancing to this song ,doing the hustle! There's is no other sound like this kind of music, the beat, the arrangements, wow! God Bless , from the Cuban Disco Kid!
Francisco Echevarria I'm Cuban American as well. This type of disco music was the greatest of all. Cerrone, From East to West, Villager just to name a few. The people came to dance, well dressed, the lights, the increfibke chills of this music. One had to be there to understand just like you did. So glad those few years that disco lasted the will always be with us. Those glorious nights dancing to the closing.
Great luck to you.
I remember this music in Miami celebrating noche Buena
Cuban style 😀
👍To my CUBAN PEEPS!
my friend gio's favorite song

OH YEAHHHHH! GREAT MEMORIES OF PARTYING!!!! NYC DISCO CLUBS AND SO MUCH DANCING!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Magnífica!
My favorite forever. Grew up to this greatness.
it's sad that those times are gone forever!
+Michael Krause Being a former DJ (70's-90's) I could not agree more.
Heaven is a huge Disco, and the drinks are all free...we are all going dancing when we leave this phase...thats what I truly believe
@@Apollo_Blaze Welcome to Paradisco, the Great Discotheque in the Sky!
Those times are not and never be gone always in our hearts and mind that will live on forever..At least we’re get to here and remember where we were when songs like this played and puts a GREAT BIG smile on our faces..Disco lives eternity.!!!!!
@Michael Krause:
As long as you have a turn table, tape deck or cd player, (and now RUclips), there will always be "disco/dance" music. Get your friends together and make your own good times......have some clams on the half shell and roller skates, too.
My brothers favorite song....rest in peace.
No better music in the world!!!!
This song is so beautyfull therapie baseline and melody. Tnks for sharing this classic sensation
I'm still listening. This is such a great classic!
What can you say...this song is euphoric ta me!!!! Hearing this from into my ears n into my soul!!!! Amazing!!!!....SOUTHBROOKLYN....OH WHERE DID THY GO!!!! YANO!!!!! BE GOOD!!!

great-post keep spreadin the LOve we know
Every time I hear this song it brings me back to a time where all I worried about was having enough money to go to the disco and dancing ! I was a young 16 year old boy when I heard this song and couldn't wait for teen night every Sunday night at the Galaxy Disco !
TheTigers62 It's funny because it's true. I was 18. lived in N.Y.C. All I worried about was to have enough money for a few screw drivers (cocktails) and my dad not finding out I was gay. This was the music to dance to. Good times. All in all... There was no resound for me to worry.
Edwin Rivera But the BEST thing about this music was that you didn't have to be gay to really enjoy it cuz I had so many chicks in the mens-room at the club giving me head at the rhythm of this tune. LOL... awesome fukken babes too! OMFG! Talk about some great times in NYC clubs. WOAHHH!
TheTigers62 Mee too, in the year 1978 i was 16 in disco club hipopotamus in Guayaquil -Ecuador
Up till 11 pm......then you had to leave, adults over 21 only then
You forgot how good the hair must look
I remember playing this in the clubs Panache, Gandy Dancer, Systems night club, most amazing piece of music 🎶
THIS GENTLEMAN, OWNED THE SECOND HALF OF THE 70'S
This song had everybody on their feet in NewYorks Disco clubs,Ahhh the good times.
One of the all-time great song’s to listen and dance to back in the day …
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it and danced it a lot...now almost 45 years later I still love it...someday I will dance it with the love of my life...
JUST LOVE THIS SONG - SO BITTERSWEET :) SO BEAUTIFUL
I was at the height of my dj career and I was only around 16 years old dam I miss these days so much
me also the songs at this time blended so good being a dj was a art at this time
A Timeless Masterpiece !!
I danced to this so many nights in discos all over the world !!! One of my all time favorites ! So lucky to be young and alive when this was happening, the best times !!!
Another master piece by alec and cerrone, I heard it when I was a kid 9 years old didn't appreciate it till now , one of the greatest disco songs of all time love it !!!!!!
I miss dancing to this outside and my dad shaking his head. Hustle dancing was fun
Beautiful melodic disco concept album by one of the euro disco kings of the late '70s.Born in Egypt by a greek mother (his father was armenian) Alec R.

All the elements are there in this fantastic piece of music 🎉
You know there a side 2 to this. Its just as good and continues the story of Romeo & Juliet.
no mas
Yep!
Love this song old disco will never die one of the best
A true masterpiece!
Love this Alex is a genious listen to Alex's Hunch Back of Notre Dame. I am 65 and miss the disco days the clubs, the people, aand of course the music
Now this really is a living, breathing Work Of Art... a Genius disco track, with Don Ray / Marc Cerrone trademarks throughout.... Oh the strings, the strings!! The words "Classic" or "Masterpiece" are widely overused when music is analysed, but they apply here alright! The inspiration required to write and produce a track like this cannot be taught. Great Stuff!
Side two is even better ,the chorus , what a piece of art !!!
who blinked.they were the days.
This was my jam back in 1982 and everything I hear I go crazy
This is the real Disco the kind that just makes me feel like jamming jumping and none 🚏🛑 stop Dancing its so good 👍 so well composed those female singers what gorgeous 💘 voices and the music it self wholly wow it's amazing luv it. Sound quality it's Superb
Excellent. This was a new genre of music.
Many gems were produced! Boundaries were pushed. The vocals, strings, synths, thumping bass, extended duration. Keep on dancing! 💙🪩
