I'm 63 but I still feel young when I listen to Bee Gees

His strut walk is Love a man with a great confident walk. Confidence is the sexiest accessory anyone can ever wear!

[BobJones-nknl]

He's the king of the 70s. My older brother was wearing bell bottom jeans, high heel shoes, and gold chains. He still keeps them in his closet. Those were the days.

This movie was the voice of an era in America that will never be repeated or returned to.

[doko]

The combination of John "Mr. Disco" Travolta and the Bee Gees...SUPER LEGEND!!!!

My God - I graduated High School in 1977! The very best of times!

I grew up in Brooklyn in the 70’s. Best times of my life

[JosephusAurelius]

Everything about this is the epitome of the 70’s. Masterful

*oh god how i miss these times, we were happy without cell phones, computers, video games and all these tecnologys we have today, but we had freedom to dream with movies like that..*

[DrVonChilla]

John Travolta is the absolute definition of a MOVIE STAR. Has there ever been a more obvious example?!?

It seems like yesterday, when this movie changed my life. I was exactly 19 years old just like the character, and yes, I dressed like this and had a DA haircut. Even the Jewelry. And the platform shoes, until I got my Capezios. I also drank seven and seven and hung around a bunch of crazy friends. And we ate burgers at the same White Castle.
The great times I had, will never be matched by anyone today. I danced all over New York, and New Jersey. I danced in Florida Discos and in Acapulco, Mexico. I was at most of all the top clubs in Manhattan. Clubs like The Fun House, Electric Circus, Adams Apple, The Red Parrot, Limelight, Studio 54, Regines, New York New York, Chevys, Bonds, Magique, Shout, and Roseland. In fact I met Madame Regine the owner of Regines. What a classy woman. She asked me how I liked her place. She just recently passed away.
And one of the owners of the Fun House, who was gay tried to pick me up in Fort Lauderdale. This was the disco that Madonna was dating the DJ. He sent two of his boys to ask me to have a drink with him. When I explained to him that I was straight, he asked me that I was familiar to him. I stated that I went to his club a lot, and that's how he knew me. So what does he do. He tries to set me up on a date with France Joli. You remember her with her hit, Come to Me. Yeah dumb me, I didn't go on the date since I was seeing someone.
But there were other discos in other parts of the city I liked to visit, like Elephas, Lemon Tree, Plaza Suite, Romeo and Juliets, Banana's, L' Amour, The Arena and yes 2001 Odyssey. When I wanted to dance Latin, Side Street in The Bronx and Ochentas in Manhattan were my choices. The Jersey Shore had some nice discos too. Montego Bay, Casablanca, D'Jais, Surf Club, Temptations and The Sundance were my place to go. But I did have a personal favorite in the Bronx, called Strawberries Disco. It became like one of two home discos for me. Everyone knew me here. And yes, I had a girl wipe the sweat off my forehead after dancing. I even had two older nurses both proposed marriage to me. And a big limo one night stopped there and a man asked the coat check lady about me, but I wasn’t there. She told me the next night.
But there were two other areas that I have to mention, since they also had some of the greatest discos. Westchester County and Long Island was rich with discos. Discos like Hoops, 2nd Floor, Fonzies, Lallipop, The Riviera, Peach Trees, Fudgies, January's, Marty and Lenny's, 21 North and The Milky Way In Westchester. And in Long Island, the list was too long for me to list. These were my favorites. Cherry's was like my other home disco. I dated the hottest waitress here, so I knew everyone there. She was my Stephanie. She also wanted to be an actress, and she was some dancer. Her mom was in the TV business as a hair stylist. My first real love. She broke my heart just like in the movie. Also, The Trammps performed there regularly, and were a bunch of nice guys. One New Years Eve, the stage almost collapsed from how crowded it was. I was dancing right next to them.
Other disco's like Uncle Sams, Metro 700, La'tique, Chaz, 231, Zachary's, Channel 80 and my Hampton's favorites La'Plaz and Lemans gave me great memories. And let us not forget about Summers Beach, Hot Dog Beach and Neptune Beach. Nothing better to not only dance at the bar, but bring Pina Colada's to the beach.
There were so many discos in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I had a disco for every night even on Monday. I still remember watching the movie. What a great thing for the young generation, as this movie just pushed young people to dance. There was nothing better than to do the Hustle, with a dance partner, girlfriend or even a stranger that you just met. I remember dancing the Hustle, with two young women at the Copacabana Club at the same time. it seemed like we danced together for years. And I remember like it was yesterday, after we ended our dance to Barry Manilow's Copacabana, how they looked dumbfounded. They asked me who was I. And I stated Tony. We actually got an ovation from the crowd. You will never see that today. I watch young people today, who can't get off their cell phones, and who is just not in good shape for their age. This disturbs me. I would never trade those days with the present. I continued to dance, and was invited on a local dance show on TV, The Soap Factory Dance Show, after being seen by a female employee of the show. She stated her boss, who was the producer, needed to watch me dance, and she later became my dance partner. Unfortunately she hurt her back and couldn't continue. I then became a regular dancer for the show. I was put with the cute twins to dance with. That was in 1978, and I met the likes of Blondie, Musique, Melba Moore, Karen Young, Amii Stewart, Anita Ward, Patrick Hernandez, A young Stephanie Mills, and Peaches and Herb. In fact, Youtube now has some videos of those shows. And in the video of Karen Young singing Hot Shot, I was dancing the hustle, on the left side on the stage with my partner. And in other videos on Youtube I am dancing with the cute twins. What great times.
Even after the show was replaced, I continued to Dance, by going to Fred Astaire Studios, so to learn some dances from the old days. I remember walking up the stairs to the studio, and being met by the most beautiful blonde young lady I had ever seen. And I still remember dancing with her, since she wanted to check out my skills. And my God, we were both made for each other. It was effortless, and she was so beautiful. We had incredible chemistry together. Unfortunate for me it was her last week since she was going to dance in a Broadway Show. But she then introduced me to the owner, in her own right was a super looking blonde older lady. So she wanted to see for herself what her instructor was so excited about. So she wanted me to dance with another instructor, so to see what kind of dancer I was. After my audition, she offered me a contract to be a dance instructor instead, which I had to turn down due to I just bought my own business. So again, I was dancing ballroom, in such places like The Waldorf Astoria, The Playboy Club in Great Gorge, NJ and at The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, Florida. The friends that I made because of my dancing, was priceless. Friends from all York, New Jersey, Chicago, Florida, Michigan and Philadelphia. To have the times I had with these great people were incredible.
And yes, my name is really Tony and 100% Italian American. But my family only called me Anthony. And yes, people start identifying me as Tony Manero, after they watched me dance. I would start and the floor would clear for me. And I did win a dance trophy which I still have from a disco. But I would never wear that white suit. And at my wedding, the D.J and band I had, played music from Saturday Night Fever, and I was introduced as Tony, and performed a solo routine in front of 350 guests. I hope this wasn't too long for some, but when I think of those days, it brings a smile to my face. And I wish the young people of today could of had that those great times.
And Thank You Mr. Travolta for doing a great job as Tony Manero. And to the writers who wrote the screenplay which was so strange how it was so similar to myself, and the disco life. And I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife Kelly who was one lovely lady. And for your loss of your son. May they both Rest In Peace.🙏🙏🙏

I was born in 1990 but this is far the best time for music when bee gees were producing absolute classics like this. Songs like this get you up and dancing.
Best music ever. Will never die ❤

Love this song, even more now than in 1977! This truly is the definitive disco era film. I think its status as a cultural phenomenon and the crazy success of the soundtrack album overshadowed how truly good John Travolta was in this. His depiction of Brooklyn teen Tony Manero striving for more in life than his tough, blue-collar upbringing is equal parts subtle, intense, heartbreaking and charming. It's a transcendent role that helped propel Travolta to superstardom.

[MrBigvlo]

That scene era was so dope! Wish I could jump into a Time Machine and experience it!

[shelleymusicpublishers]

It was a time to end all times, a movie so perfect to depict the spirit of the time. Iconic and lasting. It was good being a working musician during this era.
