In the three-part docuseries Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution, now streaming on PBS, directors and producers Louise Lockwood and Shianne Brown follow the turn of the glitterball from the gay and Black dancefloor underground of 1970s New York City, through disco’s popular rise, the backlash that was totally predictable, and the basis for what came next. Sit-down interviews with musicians, club DJs, gay rights activists, music critics, and others tell the story, and there is context from disco-affiliated artists old and new, including Candi Staton, Kim Petras, George McCrae, Jessie Ware, Nona Hendryx, Thelma Houston, and Honey Dijon.

For songs that were part of a movie’s soundtrack, music videos frequently had tie-ins to the films the music appeared in. Other videos, such as the ones for Madonna’s “Material Girl” (inspired by Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and “California Love” by 2Pac featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman (inspired by Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome), paid tribute to box office hits, even if they had no connection to them otherwise.
