The Bee Gees, Disco, & Saturday Night Fever

The Bee Gees, disco music, and Saturday Night Fever all collided in the mid-1970s. The decade prior, The Bee Gees were a Beatlesque pop band, but reinvented themselves and became disco superstars. Disco music had its origins in small, urban dance clubs and absolutely exploded into mainstream America thanks to the film Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. Using music and video clips, we’ll explore it all - the pop-culture moment that reshaped our nightlife, dancing, fashion and music.

Come join us as we reminisce about the beginnings of disco. College of DuPage professor Gary Wenstrup will talk about the sounds emanating from that year which would culminate the next year in a smash hit movie Saturday Night Fever (1977), known not for just the weightiness of its story, but the disco soundtrack that outlived and outperformed its source movie.
