 | | Like all such musical genres, defining a single point of its development is difficult, as many elements of disco music appear on earlier records (such as the 1971 theme from the movie Shaft by Isaac Hayes); in general it can be said that first true disco songs were released in 1973. | | | During the first half of the 2000s, there were disco releases by a number of artists including "I Don't Understand It" by Ultra Nate (2001), "Love Foolosophy" by Jamiroquai (2001), "Murder on the Dancefloor" by Sophie Ellis Bextor (2001), and "Love Invincible" by Michael Franti and Spearhead (2003). | | | Disco is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk popular originally with gay and black audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque. |
