Disco was not always the powerhouse genre of the 70s. Initially, during the 60s, disco was ignored, but through “invitation only” parties, combatting gay harrasment in night clubs, Disco gained popularity among the gay community. It was not until the mid to late 1970s, however, that disco gained international popularity and commercial success. By 1974-76, disco has stormed the airwaves with major hits such as “Kung Fu Fighting” by Carl Douglas, George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby”, Barry White’s “You’re My First, My Last. My Everything” and Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade.” By the late 70’s disco reached its peak popularity especially with the prominence of Disco superstar, Donna Summer and her hits “I Feel Love”,“Hot Stuff”,and “Bad Girls.”
