#12: DISCO TAKES OVER! It’s 1979 and the mainstream media have discovered something musically ‘new’.

Jimmy is intrigued by a 1979 copy of Newsweek magazine featuring Donna Summer on the cover - which announces the arrival of DISCO! He explores this musical genre with personnel recollections including the influence of legendary American DJ Casey Kasey (American Top 40) and also an interview with record store owner and music aficionado Parker Macy discussing ‘disco’.

Donna Summers 1977 double lp Once Upon a Time hit the circuit by storm!
Constantly played at clubs and house parties alike.
Giorgio Moroder & Summers at their finest.
- it really is a terrific album.
