The year 1978 was an odd one in music - here in the UK we were all supposed to be "super-cool" cultural revolutionaries, whose Punk music had overthrown the old big-label-driven world of the recording industry, crying "death to Prog Rock", "death to Disco"! Yet in reality, that year was one of the greatest for "old school" music.
In 1978, Fleetwood Mac became one of the biggest selling acts on the planet, ever. In the pop charts, Abba had one of their most successful years, and Boney M were predominant.
And as for Disco - Donna Summer ruled the airwaves, Debbie Harry had embraced the funky sound, and some of the genre's greatest classic numbers were released, including Got To Be Real, Boogie Oogie Oogie, Shame, Let's All Chant, Supernature, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), and several massive hits for this lot...
Thank Disco It's Friday! Enjoy the sunny weekend ahead, in your glittery hotpants and jelly shoes...
