From around 1974 to 1979, disco music ruled the pop charts, the rock charts (Rolling Stones' "Miss You", anyone), the soul charts, and of course the dance charts. For 5 years, all over the world lush string arrangements, insane studio rhythm sections, and hook-laden pop songs with virtually zero lyrical content intermingled with cocaine, sex, and wild fashion. Throughout it's history, disco was mostly known as a singles genre, masterminded by producers and studio wizardry. We thought it might be fun to spotlight the artists themselves, and count down the most iconic and revered groups and singers of the era. Some were flashes in the pan, some were long-lasting superstars, before and after disco's heyday. Ben is sort of a novice when it comes to disco, so he recruited actor and fellow aspiring music historian Marcello Lanfranchi, who not only lives and breathes disco today, he lived it firsthand back in it's golden era. Do you wanna get funky with us? Then don your gold chain, get your leisure suit pressed and get ready to party. Clams on the half-shell, and roller skates. Roller skates!
