[hide] *1 History  ==History[ Edit] == ===Origin[ Edit] === Elements from the 1970s disco music were beginning to hear for the first time, such as Isaac Hayes' soundtrack to the 1971film Shaft out. In general, the first disco songs were released in 1973, though many Manu Dibango's 1972 Soul Makossa as the first disco-consider recording. The term "disco" was used for the first time on september 13, 1973 in the article "Discotheque Rock ' 72: say Paaaaarty!", written by Vince Aletti of Rolling Stonemagazine. [1]  most disco songs were initially intended only for thedisco-/dance audience, instead of general public, such as radio listeners. However, there are many aspects that tend to the opposite; popular hits were also turned in nightclubs, as long as they had an easy-to-follow pattern, close to 120 beats per minute. Most 1970s-disco songs in the genre have a easy to spot 4/4 time.

A TV presenter who propagated the genre in the US was Don Cornelius (1936-2012), with his television show Soul Trainwhich aired between 1971 and 1993. Perfect amateur dancers in this program could their latest moves and club outfits exhibit. Disco stretched at its peak thereby also to the fashion in the clothing. ===Soul and funk<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="66" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Soul and funk influenced the disco plates that include:

This aversion was reflected in songs like ' Dancin' Fool ' by Frank Zappa (1979), Gruppo Sportivo's ' Disco Really Made It (it's empty and I hate it) ' (1979) and "In the Disco" of severe weather (1983).

One of the world's first complete forms ofelectronic dance music was the Italo disco. With the advent of Italo disco disco music disappeared completely out of the spotlight. Italo disco remained until the late 1980s the popular dance music for young people from the mainstream. ==Discohits<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Sistor Sledge in 2008<p lang="en" len="33" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Early discohits include:
