Saturday
Night Forever The story of Disco by
Alan Jones & Jussi Kantonen Published in Uk The wonderful world of Eurodisco
and a Chapter dedicated to Sylvester, Amanda Lear, Grace Jones
and all the stars that made unforgettable the Disco Era. This
is the italian edition of the original book: Saturday Night Fever.
Disco started in obscure underground clubs as a glamour-filled reaction to the
plodding, self-indulgent rock music of the late '60s and really took off in the
excitement-parched early '70s.
Definately recommended for all disco lovers.
