Good Times - the Story of Disco: 1

on BBC Radio 2

The first of six programmes in which Boy George takes a look at the dance phenomenon of the 1970s, now credited with the re-mix, the 12-inch single, the rise of the DJ, radical changes in studio recordings, new attitudes to sexuality, race and gender, and the reinjection of sex into mainstream American pop.

This first edition looks at disco's roots, which include Motown, Philly International and New York's underground dance scene.
