Saturday Night Live Released on This Date in 1977

Are you old enough to remember disco? It was a popular dance style in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, a film called Saturday Night Fever was released. It was about a young man in Brooklyn, NY, who lived for dancing at a local club. The young man was played by a very young John Travolta. The movie was all about the disco culture, and the soundtrack, which heavily featured The Bee Gees, became a bestseller. That was when music was still released on vinyl disks that us old folks called albums! If you'd like to see a little bit about what the late '70s were like for young urban 20-somethings, head to your local video store!
