Product Description:
Each program in the Impact! series puts the spotlight on the songs that have left an indelible mark on the world. Certain songs have come to define the times in which they appeared as they proved to be the catalyst for the transformation of the cultural and political landscape. Most set trends in music, fashion and dance while flouting convention and testing the boundaries of society's accepted moral values.
Besides setting the scene for the release of the song, the programs feature the songs creator(s) and explore its cultural impact and the ways that it changed the course of history. Guests include recording artists, music industry executives, cultural and political pundits and the music fans themselves for whom these songs became their life's soundtrack.
Dance crazes abound throughout the history of popular music. By the mid-70s, dancing was back with a vengeance. They called it disco and with the release of the movie Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta, a blue-collar worker by day and a high-stepping dancer by night, it became a major part of the culture around the world. The accompanying soundtrack was dominated by the songs of The Bee Gees, including the number one hit Stayin' Alive which ostensibly served to stimulate a taste for polyester among the general populace and to launch a boogie-down fever which has endured in various guises through the last quarter of the 20th century and into the new millennium.
With song clips, archive interviews with Robin Gibb, Nile Rodgers, Gloria Gaynor, Hanson, Daryl Hall & John Oates.
