I remember reading that very disturbing book from my mother's shelf in the 70's, and seeing the movie years later. I don't like much disco, but a handful of songs still sound great decades later. I was just a kid then, so never owned a leisure suit (though my 1st grade class pic circa '71 shows me in flowery pants and little zip-up boots-I guess Mom wanted me to be fashionable).

One of very few songs that long which I'm actually sorry it ends. It gets played on the Studio 54 channel occasionally, but they usually don't play the extended version. I actually like the last half best.

With the exception of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," I absolutely hated the entire disco era---shitty, brain-dead, shake-your-ass "music." Glad it died, hope it never comes back.

I trust I've made my feelings clear...

Disco was ok in the 70s and I really didn't care that much for it. It wasn't until the movie The Martian came out and a running gag was Mark Watney was stranded on Mars and the only music there was was commander Lewis' disco collection to listen to. The disco music provide most of the soundtrack and it was then I started liking disco.

Disco songs I like are:

Hot Stuff

Dancing Queen

That's the Way (I Like It)

It's called "Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution"

It's available online through PBS. It is a really great documentary explaining the "birth" of disco in the early 70's to it's heyday in the mid to late 70's to it's "death". It gave me a much greater appreciation for the music to learn it's full history.
