Randy Feelgood's Disco: A DJ Guide and memoir - Paperback

by Kevin Hudson (Editor), Blaze Hunter (Author)

New York, the 1970's. It was a time of flares, platform shoes and afros. Earth, Wind and Fire, the BeeGees, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder could be heard blasting out of every speaker in every disco. Studio 54 was the hottest club in town, with an exclusive clientele of the rich, famous and downright wacky. Hedonism and disco dancing were the attraction and funk and soul was the soundtrack of the city. Randy Feelgood was at the epicenter of this new vibrant club scene and takes the reader on a breathless journey through the sights and sounds of the disco movement and the clubs and bars of New York in a hilarious, hair-raising, sometimes poignant, and often amorous account of the first real superstar DJ of our time.What happened when Randy met Keith Moon? What is the song 'Copacabana' really about? And does a chiffon blouse really go with sideburns?This memoir answers these questions and many more as we are introduced to one of the most vivid characters to come out of New York City during the 1970's.Not only is this a snapshot of the 'seventies, it is also a guide for any budding DJ with a step-by-step guide to mixing, fashion and stage craft.Join Randy as he propels you from bed to bar to cocktail lounge with a host of outlandish characters and the pulsating sounds of a disco playlist as a soundtrack to his misadventures
