    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

    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...

    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.

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.

    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...

    This came out when I was 13 years old and it sold out EVERYWHERE. It is legendary. There were a handful of producers who made disco with real musicians - orchestras, horn and violin sections, etc instead of just synthesizers. Mostly European producers. Alec R. Costandinos and Cerrone were two of the best. Thank you for uploading, I haven't heard this in years!

    • @heatherferreira4225

      Are you literally serious "most" were "European"? Most were black Americans. The orchestral disco sound started in the United States of America, mostly on the east coast. Look up T.S.O.P., Gamble and Huff, Thom Bell and Freddie Perren, and start with those. European producers ripped black American producers off. This sound started in AMERICA. AMERICAN SOUND, BABY!

    • @heatherferreira4225
      @heatherferreira4225 8 років тому +5

      Disco was black, Latino, and white American and in that order. All American races jamming together, gay and straight jamming together, and by the time Europe caught up, it was damned near over. Disco is from the U.S.A.: a uniquely American invention, just like rock and roll.

      HIp-Hop was already on the radio and pumping when Malcolm McLaren and Kraftwerk were making records. "Buffalo Gals" used DJ's from Brooklyn, N.Y. Just Allah (Super Star) & Cee Divine (The Master Mind) from the Five Percent Nation. They (MM & KW) did contribute by way of DJ's playing their songs but they did not start Hip-Hop! Malcolm McLaren was a manager and promoter for years on the punk rock scene before he heard about "hip-hop." Hip Hop is totally a inner city New York movement which spread worldwide!

    I absolutely love this song! Always lifts my spirits and wish I could have been old enough to dance at the clubs to it but I was 10 when this came out lol.

    Masterly composed and orchestrated. My 2 Disco epic songs of all-times is this and the Macarthur Park Suite by Donna Summers

    I discovered this song today. In my humble opinion this song has one the best arrangements in the history of Disco Music.
    Thrilled to see other expressing their sentiments for this masterpiece.
    If you like this song, please say your country.
