About this Raddle

The iconic drum loop backing the Bee Gee’s Stayin’ Alive was never meant to be more than a temporary placeholder. It originated as simple filler that drummer Dennis Bryon hurriedly pumped out to keep the band working when he had unexpectedly leave a recording session due to a sudden death in the family.

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.
