Rock Talks: Disco Didn't Suck

What do you get if you mix soul, funk, R&B, and pop with 4-on-the-floor rhythms? Only the most maligned music genre ever! Disco spoke of female empowerment and the burgeoning gay rights movement, which might be part of the reason it was so denigrated by many in the rock world. But not us, my friends! From 'I Will Survive' to 'Last Dance' grab your boogie shoes and set the time machine to 1976. Turn the beat around and rock on!
