was formatted into 12 inch discs with one song per
side. In the early 1970s, discos played pop and rock music, but they increasingly leaned towards the danceable black sound of Philadelphia International and similar styles. The music of the O'Jays, The Spinners, The Stylistics, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye was the typical fare of the early 1970s discos. |
One of the biggest disco hits of 1975 was 'The Hustle' by Van McCoy. Hitting the Number One spot in the Summer of 1975, the song spawned variants such as the California Hustle, The Latin Hustle, the American Hustle, the New York Hustle, and the Tango Hustle. Coupled with the success of KC, Shirley and the Company, The Hues Corporation, George McCrae and others, disco became 'The Thing' for many pop artists. |
