Disco Quotes
Disco music in the '70s was just a call to go wild and party and dance with no thought or conscience or regard for tomorrow.
Martha Reeves
In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.
Giorgio Moroder
It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the '70s. There wasn't a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the '70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour.
Ann Wilson
There's a good television programme called 'Disco 2.' It's quite good but again it's average, average. It's all on a down play. You know we've got this thing in England to be hip is to speak very down - like John Peel. And that just about sums up England. They don't realize when they talk like that, then that is what they represent - absolutely.
David Bowie
My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.
Haley Reinhart
During the time that my recording career seemed to be in a slump a music called disco came on the scene and literally took over radio stations as well as having radio stations created to play it which sort of negated my music as well as that of some of my peers.
Dionne Warwick
Disco was brand new then and there were a few jocks that had monstrous sound systems but they wouldn't dare play this kind of music. They would never play a record where only two minutes of the song was all it was worth. They wouldn't buy those types of records.
Grandmaster Flash
Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound is not art or anything so serious.
Giorgio Moroder
Disco deserved a better name, a beautiful name because it was a beautiful art form. It made the consumer beautiful. The consumer was the star.
Barry White
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
Peter Tork
Around '75 when the recession hit, club owners started going to disco because it was cheaper for them to just buy a sound system than it was to hire a band.
Tommy Shaw
Disco B still rolls with me now. He's still doing his thing. He does clubs in different places. He was very instrumental in helping me perfect my craft.
Grandmaster Flash
When I listen to Radio 1 and hear five different tracks in a row using old disco samples, well that's plagiarism, that's taking other people's music.
Jay Kay
When I was working with David Cassidy at the Rio, I made an album of updated versions of some 1970s disco tunes. I had a blast.
Sheena Easton
In pop or rock you can make a fast song or a slow one, but in disco there is really just the one rhythm.
Giorgio Moroder
