 | | Disco is a genre of music that originated in discothèques. | | | Disco music diverged from the rock of the 1960s, elevating music from the raw sound of 4-piece garage bands to refined music composed by producers who contracted local symphony and philharmonic orchestras and session musicians. | | | In 1975, the pop star Dalida was the first to make disco music in France with her song "J'attendrai" which was a big hit there as well as in Canada and Japan in 1976. |

| | Disco music was never meant to be listened to while staying at home stoned alone (or with friends) pondering the deeper meanings of the life; it never pretended to have insight into the meaning of life. | | | Disco Music, Assorted Listings of Songs by Year, Artist, Etc. | | | Disco music was for dancing, disco was for having a good time, and gay people, who had been prevented from dancing together in virtually all the bars across the United States until the very late years of the 1960s (or in some cases in the 1970s), embraced it and were liberated by it. |

| | Disco is on of the father of modern dance music, the place where it all started. | | | Two other very important things that came out of Disco were the remix (re-edits of an existing song, initially done on a reel to reel tape machine and done to make the song longer and change the arrangement of the music) and also very importantly the 12" vinyl single. | | | In Disco's early days the DJ's drew from many different styles of music including Funk, Soul and Rock as long as it was funky and could work a dancefloor. |

| | Shapiro loves disco, both as a genre of music and as a pop-culture movement, but he's bracingly unsentimental about its origins: "Despite its veneer of elegance and sophistication, disco was born, maggot-like, from the rotten remains of the Big Apple." | | | There are few forms of popular music so universally despised, or so misunderstood, as disco. | | | Disco was, and is, often considered music for "sissies" -- the sort of thing that any red-blooded straight American male should be ashamed to like. |

| | Shapiro ties in two disparate strains of music that together became the prototype of the disco sound: Motown and Northern Soul, which originated in the hardscrabble coal counties of Northern England (and influenced the Beatles). | | | Disco may have died, but the sound lived on. | | | Although this may have been the first disco, the real genesis of the club scene was the Whiskey à Go Go in Paris, the prototype for Jet Set discos. |

| | Despite the title, it would be a stretch to call the music on this album disco; although these versions of the songs are certainly more danceable, the disco influence is indirect, or at least difficult to detect. | | | Disco is the second album by the UK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys. | | | Disco was not really an original studio album, but rather an album length collection of remixes of songs from their first album, Please, and B-sides. |
