Interestingly the Rise of Disco and Saturday Night Fever happened as I was born in this rock and roll Earth.
In 1977, the disco craze took over the world, fueled by the release of the iconic movie Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. The film’s soundtrack, featuring hits like “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, became a cultural phenomenon.
Disco fever was so intense that even the most unexpected places embraced it. Clubs around the world turned into flashing-light dance floors, with people wearing bell-bottom pants( though it is trend again here in India ) and platform shoes ( Again in 2024), grooving to the funky beats. Some countries even held disco-dancing competitions, which became hilarious spectacles of people trying out wild moves like the “Robot” or “Finger Point.”
Actually people got crazy as a crazy soul appeared on this part of Universe.
