Stephen A. Welles musical novel "Disco Nights" takes readers back to the late 70s New York dance club scene. Based on a true story, the book follows the everyday life of a young ex-marine from the Bronx as the disco era hits its peak. “Disco Nights” vividly recalls the life styles, fashions, attitudes and of course music that made night life in the Big Apple come alive--

The author takes us right back into the late 70's Disco era with his musical novel. It's fiction, but it's inspired by Stephen's own experiences during the heydays of Disco. In the book you're taken back to the authentic places and DJ's, accompanied by wonderful music references. Mr. Welles sure knows his Disco music and in the end there's even indexes of songs and artists "featured" in the book. The timeline is correct and you get to relive historical NYC events like the 1977 black out, Son of Sam and similar. I really enjoyed this book - Check it out !

Major League Baseball's 2011 All-Star game was played on July 12th of this year. This is the same day 32 years ago (1979) that Anti-Disco baseball fans brought their Disco records to Chicago Stadium and lit a bon-fire in between games of a doubleheader. The records blew 200 feet in the air to the chant of "Disco Sucks." Many will say that was the day that Disco died...
Funny, here we are in 2011 and most songwriters, artists and DJ's will admit there's Disco music in many genres of music that we have today. If you listen close enough to the beat, there's Disco in Hip-Hop, Dance music, Techno and Freestyle which were all siblings of the 70s sound. In some cases there's even Disco in Rock music the Mecca of the Anti-Disco movement. Yes, they may have changed the name but it's a known fact the songwriters take Disco beats and sounds and incorporate it into songs that we have today.
So did disco really die? I was watching an Amazon CD I purchased called Disco "Spinning the Story." It was pretty entertaining and was hosted by the first Queen of Disco, Gloria Gaynor, (I Will Survive, Never Can Say Goodbye). The one statement that stood out was when Nile Rodgers from the great 70s group called Chic (La Freak, Good Times) answered the question... Did Disco die? He answered it by saying, "The name has changed but its still out there. Then he paused for a moment looked into the camera and smiled, "We didn't go anywhere, we're still here."
I've always believed that, which is why I wrote a book called Disco Nights (July 10, 2010). I wanted to touch the many fans that want to learn or relive the great experiences of Disco during its peak years before Disco was saturated with comedic antics to kill the real Disco sound... And yes, we are still here and I'm just one of the millions world-wide that still love the romantic sound of Disco from years ago... Long live Disco, a sound that will never be forgotten and is etched in our memories as part of our cultural past and music history! (Stephen A. Welles Author of Disco Nights).
