You are a twenty something member of society with money to burn and a love of music and dancing. You take time to prepare yourself, now with the week behind you and those stresses moving farther away from you, you deserve to relax. You get your best suit out of the closet dressing with care like a European prince about to give a oratory. After an hour getting your hair just right you hop in your Chevy Nova and go to pick up your Girlfriend. She looks great, just like a dream or angel came down from a celestial plane. A buddy told you about some new place that was pretty happening as you heard it described. You get there and after waiting in line for an hour you are allowed in the domain. Upon entering you are floored, the music is loud and causes your heart to stir. The lights are everywhere shining off your boss necklaces and your girl’s eyes. You have the urgent need to dance. This is Disco.
Disco has since gone the way of the Charleston and Box Socials, but you can think about Disco without think ABBA music. ABBA music was a band from Sweden that turned the world over on its head. This quartet would later go on to be one of the main influences of disco sound. Two women and two men made up ABBA music. Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson were the technical aspect of the group writing songs and music to be sung by Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog. The first initials of each of their first names spelled out ABBA music. In 1975 they released “Fernando” which became their first US hit along with taking Europe by storm. But in 1976 they released a song that would be remembered in every Disco CD for years to come, “Dancing Queen” Which was played in Disco across the world until Disco died.
