Disco Collected celebrates the dance music which originally developed from r&b, soul and funk from the late 60s and 70s and turned into a mighty subculture in discotheques, with St udio 54, Manhattan, New York as one of the most famous and extravagant discos all over the world. Disco used a steady four to the floor beat, string sections, horns which created a perfect setting for DJs who mixed their special 12 inches to an eager dance crowd. Movies like Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It's Friday contributed to disco's mainstream popularity. Compiled on Disco Collected are some of the best, well-known and great disco hits by Rose Royce, Chic, Kool and The Gang, The Trammps, Thelma Houston, KC & The Sunshine Band and 16 more guaranteed floor fillers.
