There were some good acts in the genre; Donna Summer and Heatwave immediately come to mind, although I’m sure you out there can think of others. Disco’s problem was that for every good act, there were at least two or three “schlock” acts that were merely trying to cash in quick. Add to that the pressure on artists by their labels to record a disco tune (for the money), and you can see why so many disdained the style.
