I love the nightlife...

The other day, I listened to the soundtrack for the 1998 film The Last Days of Disco.  The soundtrack mostly consists of disco and the very first song is this old chestnut from Alicia Bridges...


This song was quite the hit back in 1978.  I was six years old back then and remember hearing it all over the radio.  It was originally intended to be an R&B song, but metamorphosed into a disco song.  It was so popular that it even crossed over to country!

I remember being surprised when I found out Alicia Bridges was a white woman.  She has one of those voices that sounds like it came from a person of color.  Nevertheless, though this song is sort of a campy reminder of the late 70s, it's also a classic.

And since it's Friday, it's also oddly appropriate for today...
