  • 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 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 💛

    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

    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)

      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.

    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...

    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...

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.

      Perfecta reflexión amigo; yo con los 57 años abril 2023 ya pega la nostalgia y estas melodías con quienes las compartíamos, lamentablemente algunas y algunos ya se nos adelantaron, pero los momentos se reviven como en aquella época; saludos.

    DISCO IS LIFE. Without DISCO, I would never have survived the apocalyptic NEWYORKCITY of the 1970s!!!!!!!!

    For myself it is Alec R.Costandinos. Then everyone else. Thank you for this from the bottom of my heart.

    Accidental lover, Simon Peter, Hunchback of Norte Dame, Midnight Lady, and Give me love.
    Songs by both A.R.Constandinos and Cerrione are without a doubt Epic Disco masterpiece's.

    This is such a wonderful musical odyssey. I LOVE this kind of musicianship. People can say negative things about Disco, but they went all in with their composing and production. THANK YOU

      People who say or said negative things about Disco are people who don't like to dance...I have always felt sorry for them, they have no idea what they missed
