VH1’s oral history of disco will reveal how disco music, fashion and culture evolved from the underground to the mainstream. From places like DJ David Mancuso’s Loft, the party music spread to the nation’s nightclubs. Disco record labels sprung up and made instant superstars of people like Chic and Donna Summer, whose 17-minute “Love to Love You Baby” became a disco staple. TV shows such as Disco Step-by-Step and the hugely popular Dance Fever dominated the airwaves.
"When Disco Ruled The World" will revisit that unique era and recapture the spirit of those boogie days: the how, why and who that made disco tick and take over. This is an hour devoted entirely to the subject with no narration. Just the voices of the interviewees – the DJs, label heads, TV producers, movie stars and top musical acts of the time – woven together to tell the real stories. Shot intimately and stylishly, When Disco Ruled The World captures the period and the people that made disco the supreme cultural event it was.
