Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Curious, and not trying to provoke controversy by any means, but in light of your comment on my Facebook page - is there a song (or songs) that you consider the "last" disco song?
Weems:
Then DiSco Demolition night. By the
fall of 79, rappers Delight came out, sampling Good Times, and the world changed forever.
