When disco music and fashion meet; there is bound to be a lot of excitement. Recently, my husband and another couple attended a concert to see the New York Bee Gees and a tribute to Donna Summer. Of course, this concert brought me back to the 70s.
When Disco Music and Fashion Meet
Saturday Night Fever – John Travolta
In fact, I remember seeing Saturday Night Fever when it first came out. Though this soundtrack was released over 4 decades ago; I remember the Bee Gees were on the radio all the time.
So, if you missed out on seeing this movie or want to be transported back to the 70s; you can watch this movie from the comfort of your own home.

In the same way, I equate this era to not only the music but experimenting with big hair and fun fashion styles.

Since fashion is cyclical, the 70s are back. Due to the pandemic; many people haven’t been out and places have been closed. However, after waking up; people are ready to take center stage.
Meanwhile, lug soles and platforms are some of the most popular styles in footwear this season. So, if you’re ready to embrace the 70s in footwear; be sure to check out my These are the Shoes you Didn’t Know you Need – Fall 2021 post.

New York Bee Gees and Donna Summer Tribute
The concert was at the Lynn Auditorium in Lynn, Massachusetts. So, as we stepped into the 70s, the music came back to us.
At the same time, the performers from the New York Bee Gees sound were incredible and comparable to the Bee Gees in their prime. In fact, the music was powerful; and they had many people in the audience up on their feet most of the night.
Moreover, this concert included not only the Bee Gees music that they wrote in the 60s and 70s; but also songs they wrote for other artists that became major hits such as “Islands in the Stream” for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
In the second part of the concert, the female vocalists performed music from Donna Summer who was known as the “Queen of the Disco Era”.
In my opinion, the best part of this concert was I recognized all of the music performed. Indeed, it brought me back to my teens!
In essence, I felt like I was transported back to the 70s and was ready to continue dancing long after the concert ended. Hence, anyone seeing them in concert will enjoy the music.
As always, I welcome your comments on when disco music and fashion meet.
So, what are your favorite memories of this era?
