Facts💕

[@MichaelW969]

Andy Gibb was the youngest brother, but performed as a soloist, not with his brothers as a BeeGee. What an extraordinary family

[@marcpower4167]

Passed away way too young, Andy had his demons sadly. There were plans for Andy to join the bee gees making them a quartet, they did a few recordings for a new album but never finished before his death.

[@882center]

Sadly he died of suicide

[@marcpower4167]

@@882center no he didn't, he had mydiocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. It's believed he had some sort of virus but his rampant drug use weakened his heart. He did have battles with depression which lead to a lot of false reports that it was suicide.

[@conleykat]

@@marcpower4167 I was 25 when he passed.

[@laudanum669]

​@@marcpower4167 Thanks for correcting Chris, I just don't like misinformation. Because someone else reads it and then believes it and passes it on.

This video brought back so many memories of my childhood. The block parties were it! Dancing in the streets, going to the skating rink. It was all so much fun!

[@johnwjr7]

Donna Summer - Queen of Disco. The Bee Gees, Chic, KC & the Sunshine Band and ABBA were 4 of the most popular bands of the disco era. I grew up in the 70's and there were still about a dozen songs on here that I did not know. One of my favorite ones that played on here was "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor. I was already 18 years old when it came out but for some reason it stuck with me. Yeah, we had it great growing up in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. The best music ever.

[@conleykat]

The only song I remember hearing in the 60's was Harper Valley P.T.A. I was 5 when it came out.

[@paulinesoares3594]

Best thing about that era, everyone sang and danced to all the music. Color didn’t matter. We all just enjoyed ourselves. It was great.

[@jeankrewl6006]

And no auto tune

[@Mus1c1luv]

AGREED! Imiss that.

[@PongoXBongo]

@@jeankrewl6006 But, we did have quadraphonic sound (proto-surround) and wild ass stereo panning (that "music swirling around you" vibe). Today's "wall of sound" just doesn't compare.

[@Shubdogg]

To many, we are family was just a disco hit, but here in Pittsburgh, it was so much more. One night in 1979, while it was playing at one of their home games, Pirates captain willie stargell jokingly said that this would be the new team clubhouse song, as it was big at the time. But the team had one of its best seasons ever, and the team became known there and around the country as "the family", and they rode that momentum to the national league pennant and the 1979 world series title. Stargell even became known as "pops" as the teams leader and father figure. Sister sledge even performed the song at one of the world series games held in Pittsburgh that year. So before "Gloria" for the st Louis blues, there was we are family.

[@likemeordont5951]

Cool, tfs.

[@DianaJG8]

Cool story! Thanks 😊

[@xJamesLaughx]

Everytime I hear the song by Alicia Bridges "I Love the Night Life" I cannot help but instantly think of the scene in the movie "Love at First Bite" with George Hamilton (playing Count Dracula) dancing with Susan Saint James. And how could someone not love disco, the beat, the music etc all just made you want to get up and dance and just have a good time.

[@audiobuff2]

Car Wash was the theme song for a movie by the same name. Funny flick, George Carlin, Richard Pryor and several other stars in it.

[@conleykat]

When Car Wash started playing it reminded me of the Car Wash movie.

[@DrVonChilla]

Howdy, Kabir. As a high schooler at the time, I LOVED 1970s disco music, even as a hard-core rocker. My rocker friends didn't get it so I kept my mouth shut....and after a night out with my friends, I'd go home and listen to the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. LOL 😆 Intensely FUN music.....and that's what I liked about it at the time and appreciate about it all that much more NOW.

[@colleenmayes1537]

I loved country, hard rock and disco. My friends just used to shake their heads.

I'm 54, I grew up listening to Disco and it's everything. Till this day I listening to it a lot.

[@26shedan]

Disco had such a bad backlash but I loved the Disco era. Had so much fun dancing to the music in the clubs. Loved it.

[@tommymash9020]

It did have a horrible backlash. But here we are 40 and 50 years later still hearing them everywhere. Quality lasts 🕺

[@sharcrum]

That backlash was started by sureness that couldn't compete, musically with disco type music!!!

[@MarthaDwyer]

Electronic music has replaced discovery. Listen to Daft Punk's homage to producer Girogio Morodor (known for his collaboration with Donna Summer). It features Chic's Nile Rogers, (Good Times), who also went on to a great producing career. 4:58 3:57 3:58

[@jdodd2798]

My favorite songs to get on the dance floor were by KC and the Sunshine Band! But it was such a special time to have all of these wonderful songs to dance to! It was a magical era where there was no black or white - we all danced together and had a wonderful time! Thanks for the memories!!

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

Awesome memories

[@peterbradfield2805]

Andy Gibb started singing with his older brothers, The Bee Gees, but his greatest success and biggest claim to fame came due to his solo career. To wit in his solo career, Andy Gibb was the first solo male artist, since Elvis Presley in the 1950’s and first from outside of the U.S., to have his first three solo records, in 1977 - 78, “I Just Want to Be Your Everything”, (Love is) Thicker Than Water”, and “Shadow Dancing” both make it to #1 and last the longest on Billboard Magazine Hot 100 charts.

[@sandrataylor3723]

Donna Sunners song Love to Love you Baby was banned from our local radio station because the parents thought it was too vulgar...lol. I was fortunate to have grown up in that era. I graduated from high school in 1975 and turned 18 that year, so I was old enough to go out to bars and disco places and dance my heart out. Thanks for bringing back memories of the good old days to this 66-year-old woman.

[@truthguide1742]

Donna was in essence having a simulated vocal orgasm. When Donna became a born-again Christian she would not do a live version at her shows. Unfortunately and fortunately that song helped solidify my first interracial high school boy crush. Donna Summer WOW!

Great trip down memory lane. Thanks! . My boyfriend and I won a dance contest doing the bump. Now not many remember it was even a dance 😂 Glad it was in this mix!

[@bethdealmeida6789]

Hail Donna Summer, the Disco Queen!

[@kenpatton8761]

DISCO--for me it was any music that had a great beat you could dance to. Sometimes I think all the disco haters were the folks that were jealous because they couldn’t/wouldn’t get up and dance. I enjoyed many, many hours on the dance floor and when disco died here in the USA the US Air Force sent me to Europe where it was still very popular. So I had a great time in the 70‘s & early 80‘s here in the states, then in England and Germany mid - late 80‘s, and on to Turkey in the early 90‘s. And some disco music was „country“ music. I remember a disco in Louisville KY playing Lukenbach TX by Waylon Jennings. Main thing was everyone having a good time! Cheers from an now retired USAF world traveler!

[@mattwhite2328]

I’m really impressed by how many of these you know!!! That’s a proper education. I was born in 75 so I grew up with this on the radio and a lot of these I’m sure I haven’t heard since 83.

Kabir - I think you know the words better than I do - and I was there! Turned 18 in '76, legal drinking age in the states at the time.

Andy Gibb was never an official member of the Bee Gees but he was their baby brother. Although he did sing with them often before he died a few days after his 30th birthday in 1988. He was just as good as his brothers. The talent was definitely strong between the brothers.

Another who graduated HS in 1973. I was a late bloomer, so really got my groove on when disco started up. Watched Saturday Night Fever 6-1/2 times (got in late the first time; we just stayed for the next showing, they weren't clearing people out). Took free dance lessons at a department store, so knew the latest steps. Didn't have a BF, so often went with a co-worker to an under 21 gay club she knew, and danced our little hearts out with anyone who'd join us. It was a blast!

[@conleykat]

We had record players and an 8-track player at home and the car. If the tape wouldn't play right we would stick a popsicle stick next to it and if the player would eat the tape we pulled it out as easy as we could and pulled one side of the tape down a little bit and then turned it around and pulled the tape on the other side and it would fly back into place. We have had to tape ends together if the tape broke. At home my mom always listened to Bluegrass Music. (I never liked it)We had different music in the car. 😊

I had a group of friends in high school, and then more in college, who represented a multitude of colors and nationalities! Never was it a thing. We roomed together, partied together, danced together, skated together. We simply didn't give a crap about that kind of thing. Life was pretty much carefree. And I grew up in a small, rural town in Kentucky! Not NY! Lol Life was SO different then and the world still made sense. We had great music, fun TV shows, some great movies, and basically just enjoyed being alive. ❤ I so wish the generations coming after us could experience just a taste of what we did!

I was just nineteen when disco became a thing, still in college. It was funny because there was this huge debate. So e said you can't love rock and disco. The die hard Rock fanatic said disco with terrible music but it wasn't. Anything that makes you feel as good as disco music did, is not terrible. Everybody got out on the Disco floor whether you could really dance or not. It didn't matter it was all about just having fun with your friends. And what a great way to stay in shape.
