About this Raddle

“Funky Town,” the city longed for in the Lipps Inc. track that reached no. 1 in 28 countries, stood for Minnesotan songwriter Steven Greenberg’s idea of New York City whose lively energy so contrasted with the Saint Paul music scene he felt was so dull.

Theme: Disco songs

This week's theme is by request. The disco genre grew out of the Black, Latino, and gay dance clubs of early 1970s New York, blending funk, soul, and strings into a four-on-the-floor beat that took over the charts for half a decade.
