One thing for sure: by 1979 Disco became unavoidable. In addition to the growing number of radio stations playing Disco (at that time 200!) after medias started joining in trying to capitalize on the growing 6-billion dollar industry it had become. Two major film studios released Disco movies. Unlike Saturday Night Fever, Thank God It's Friday and Can't Stop The Music, were focused on Disco and its stars rather following a more conventional story line (unfortunately, poor box office was the result, and Hollywood's love affair with Disco would soon end). Additionally, enterpreneurs began franchising Discoteques all across the United States, essentially trying to recreate Studio 54's magic and fun.
Amalgams soon emerged as well. Disco had slipped into parts of culture where we weren't looking. Roller scates became roller boogie, 12'' records were #1 selling singles and TV even joined in with Disco-influenced theme songs (e.g. Charlie's Angels). In addition, fashion was affected, and satin, polyester and loud clothes became the club fashion uniform. By the end of the decade, while many of Disco's milestones had washed away, the great music remained. A hint of Disco's greatness is represented here with these classic songs.
