Music, no ! Just dance floor filler...

No, this is NOT Italo Disco...even the name sounds familiar, Gino is from Verdun, is a Quebecoise, not a Southern Italian...his family is, obvious.
This track from Outline, 1979, performed well in US, UK and continental Europe, not in Canada.
Video from his performance on RAI TV on winter 1979, he went #1 for 4 months.

No, this is NOT Italo Disco...even the name sounds familiar, Marco is from Vitry-sur-Seine, is French, not a Italian...his family is, obvious.
Title track from second album Cerrone's Paradise, 1977, the album goes platinum, as the first one, Love in C Minor in 1976.

Dudes, in 1977 we had Disco Hit with Oboe solos...
In 1977 we had musicians non DJs or after-work samples producers. That's it.

Still after 40 years it sounds good, that's DISCO.

One hit wonder from French Patrick Hernandez...really kick ass

Weird German band, the song, in the original Sprache (as Nena 99 Lufballons), is still popular everywhere...except in Russia...

Behind Murray, the brother of Giles of Buffy, a british singer we had ABBA male personnel, wrote for the musical Chess, became a major Disco hit, about Chess : Why you youngsters don't read about the Cold War story of Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer ?

Why short lived Wiener Johann Hölzel choose an Italian stage name, Falco means Hawk in Italian is still a mistery, anyway his talent is still bright throught the years.

One of the greatest Euro hits of all time...poor Pete Burns, passed away just one year ago.
He wore the eye-patch because he got an infection from Botox filler...after one month he pretend to re-shoot all video scenes...but video producers Arnell and Benton persuaded Pete that eye-patch was iconic.

A typical sample of Italy Disco...but the band was Swedish !
Even the gorgeous singer Ulrica Örn, then actress, sung in perfect italian...She claims : I want to make love with you, all day and all night, forever.

1983 Euro hit written from Nacho Cano singer of Mecano, later Olé Olé became a major band in Spain.

Another 1983 Euro hit, a mix of Italy Disco, New Wave and The Cure...nobody believed on it, until German WEA released the record, then they reached Top Ten even in Finland.
