Disco Nights

Set in the flashy discos and on the streets of New York City in the late 1970s, author Stephen Welles, who was born on Broadway and raised in the streets of the Bronx uses his own life experiences to paint his central character and how he became part of the disco explosion coming out of the U.S. Marines (1977) as a 22-year-old "club dancer." Welles says, "Disco Nights offers readers the chance to learn about or relive the great memories of the Disco Era through the story line, the songs, the artists, the DJ's and the stylish dancers." There's also a love story with a surprise ending, and a few exciting dance contests.  Revolving around this story of our 1970s culture are landmark historical events that occurred in New York City - the 1977 black out; Son of Sam; the Yankees return to glory, gay lib & women's rights, the summer where the Bronx was burning and more. This book will help people understand an era that although had its tough times, was also fun, exciting and part of our music culture and history... The book comes complete with a detailed 70s song and artist index as the Author merges classic song titles into the story line to tell this exciting New York City Disco story of yesteryear.
