Description
by Joey Carvello (Author), Christopher R. Moore (Author), Kim Costa (Editor)
In this first-hand account of disco history learn how DeeJay Joey Carvello road the cultural explosion of disco, and how record labels conspired to destroy disco's independent power.
Dance music has its roots in the gay, black, and Italian discotheques that emerged in the late 1960s. At the center of that fusion, the city of Boston became the birthplace of the predecessor to mainstream dance music: Disco. Joey Carvello, an Italian kid from East Cambridge, burst out onto the disco scene and road that cultural phenomenon into the record business where disco reigned for a time.
But doesn't everyone know that disco sucks? Maybe that's just what they've been told. Filling in the gaps in disco's history, The Boston Hustle shares the story of disco, its rise to prominence in clubs and its downfall at the hands of racist and homophobic record labels.
The Boston Hustle will appeal to baby boomers who remember the reign of disco fondly and to anyone interested in music history from the ground. Fans of mainstream dance music who want to see the genre's roots will appreciate this detailed account of how disco came to be.
