DESCRIPTION:
(from PBS's press release, February 2024) PBS tackles the surprising and overlooked history of disco - the preeminent popular music of the 1970s - in a three-part series, DISCO: SOUNDTRACK OF A REVOLUTION. Announced today by PBS President and CEOPaula Kerger during her executive session at the network's TCA Winter Press Tour, the docuseries captures the story of disco: its rise, its fall, and its legacy. From the basement bars of '70s New York City to the peak of the global charts, along with iconic tracks and remarkable footage, DISCO: SOUNDTRACK OF A REVOLUTION offers a powerful, revisionist history of the disco age. Told by the original musicians, promoters, and innovators - as well as modern-day musical icons - this BBC Studios Production will premiere Tuesday, June 18 on PBS (check local listings), PBS.org, and the PBS App.
