McWilliamsHaving been involved in the disco scene from the beginning; with 25 years as a club DJ in Chicago; Miami and Key West; I had the pleasure of working with many of these great ladies. This book pulls together over 30 of the fabulous queens of the disco. The interviews are all extremely interesting and beautifully interpreted by James Arena. The stories of their lives before; during and after their successes are all truly fascinating and inspiring. There is a lot of information that cant be found in Wikipedia or album liner notes.More than just a trip down memory lane; the book is an inspiration to any young artist interested in the business; and will leave you scrambling to order (on of course) any of their available material.Thanks James for taking the time to give dues to these often overlooked vocalists who have left their voices on popular culture and the collective soundtrack of our lives.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Some great info for those who love discoBy Sean D RindgeJames Arena has written a book that will make a lot of disco lovers happy. He shines a light on 32 of the ladies who sang some of the biggest disco hits. He lets the ladies tell their own stories---their family backgrounds; how they got started; how they felt about disco at the time and the hit(s) they recorded; and what theyve been up to in the intervening years. The book contains exactly the kind of information I have been dying to know for a long time. You come away from the book seeing how strong and resilient these ladies are; as well as what nice people they are. There is also a strong theme of faith and love for all people running through their lives. Reading this book helped me realize that the good feelings and happiness that come through when I listen to their music is genuine; and was present during the creative process as they recorded their songs.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The First Ladies of Disco - The BookBy Greg BatschI just love The First Ladies of Disco - The Book. It is absolutely phenomenal; and a wealth of wonderful stories from such a fun and exciting part of the music industry genre. I wasnt of age when these women were at the height of their careers; however I do have a great admiration and adoration to each and every one of them for their work and contributions they made to the music industry. The interviews are very well articulated by James Arena. The stories of their lives; before and during and after their successes; hard work and determination are all exciting and inspiring. This book will leave you looking up and researching material of each and everyone of these talented ladies; collecting on vinyl is always fun. Thank you James for taking the time to give dues and admiration to these underrated vocalists who have left their voices on pop culture and a very fun exciting and entertaining soundtrack of our lives.
