So that's how that group got its name, huh?  I remember their songs having repetitive lyrics.  It seemed they went on forever.


True, but they went over pretty well at our Jr. high dances. I loved those dances!

Timing of my hospital residency years was fortuitous.  I didn't have much free time to listen to the radio and so I missed the disco era.


Yeah, timing is everything. When I was in high school and my sister was raising three kids she had no clue what was on the radio. Every time she came to the house and I was listening to records it was always "Who's that?", unless I was playing her old records. Then we switched places in the 90's. Her oldest was a teenager and suddenly she knew it all and I was knee-deep in Sesame Street.

The only song I remember from those years was this one here when the crappy TV we had in the on call room could only receive one station and I watched an episode of Solid Gold...


I liked that song my senior year but you can bet I never saw him do it on Solid Gold!

By 9th grade I was ready for one of these but I was too scared I'd get in trouble:

You are correct about both the band name and the repetitive lyrics but apparently the buying public didn't mind as the band reeled off a string of hits rivaled only by the BeeGees during that time. As I mentioned above, Mr. Casey (KC) had that disco formula down to a science.

But then in 1979 he moved away from it a little with this hit:

The Bee Gees sold out to disco.  They were good in the 60s...

Yes, I remember it well - a rather awesome track, IMHO.

Oh, yes, I agree. I have the box set they released back in the '90s (if I recall correctly) and it's fantastic.  I will say though, that as the years have passed I have actually grown to enjoy much of their disco era output as well.

Morning of My Life (In the Morning) and My World are two of my favorite songs:

I black one with white letters at a Jethro Tull, Songs From the wood tour concert. One evening I came down stairs and my dad said "where are you going with that?" I said "out!" NO your not! Go change it! Lol!

Ha Ha! Did you really change it or did you just put another shirt on over it?

I can honestly think of no more shocking musical statement that you could wear on a T-shirt in the London of 2015 than 'Disco Sucks'. I'm being totally serious.
Where can I get one?!!

Currently listening to The Incredible String Band's 'Changing Horses' from 1969.....it ain't disco.

If you search Google you'll find lots of places where you can order one.

I didn't argue. I changed it. I always knew when my dad was serious!

They're fun!  I saw them perform a few times in the late 60s.

I thought maybe you might have tried covering it up with something acceptable that you could take off later. Some kids would, you know! I'm proud of you for listening to your dad. ;)
