Fenster's Funky Sevens- Ep 28 - A History of House Music

Covering the time period between two UK pop chart entries; George McCrae's number one "Rock Your Baby" in June 1974, and Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk "Love Can't Turn Around" in August 1986; the first disco hit and the first house music hit.

I look at how Disco developed over the 70s until its "death" in 1979. Then how, with Funk and Post-Disco and European influences, Disco was reborn on the dancefloors of Chicago as House Music.

We also take in the stories of the first House Music records and young ambitious (and sometimes unscrupulous) characters involved in their creation.
