Later when listening back to the tape one of them heard this portion of the tape … thought the noise of the bridge was interesting … looped it … tape loop then… and bam.. Jive Talkin’ rhythm came out. At that point they didn’t even have a work for Disco .. but there it was.

Loops are easy today … so get cracking and find the next big movement in music!

They all grew up in Brisbane, Australia (my home town) … and they have an incredible catalog of hits way before Saturday Night Fever stretching back to the sixties with some tunes that gave the Beatles a run for their money. “Spicks and Specks”, “I Started A Joke”, “New York Mining Disaster”, “Massachusetts”, “Run To Me” … they go on and on. Get their two Greatest Hits volumes… all prior to SNF.

Plus they wrote a ton of stuff for others … not to mention Grease, along the way.

Might not be to everyone’s taste, but the brute effect on our culture is tangible…

There where you can no longer feel my warmth –
nor hold me by my hand

Forget me not is what I ask –
when you stand where I so often stood

Remember me with all you heart –
if you could

Yet –
Should you forget me for a while

Do not grieve

Because it’s better you forget and smile-
then that you remember and be sad
