Dance Palace Remembered

The year is 1978, the dance palaces in NYC are 12-West, Flamingo, Truck Stop, and Chameleon and this was on the playlist of almost every DJ.  This is the entire recording, so sit back and relax, or get up and dance.  Romeo & Juliet by  Alec R. Costandinos. From the You Tube Description:
I wanted to hear this on Youtube and couldn't find the complete version on one track, so here it is! From beginning to end. All 15 minutes and 24 seconds of it! Have NO doubt people...this is the single greatest #1 Disco song of the 1970s!!! VERY IMPORTANT! YOU MUST LISTEN TO IT COMPLETELY TO SEE THAT I AM RIGHT (because the song gets better and better as it plays on). Only a few came close to this one: "Love in C Minor" by Cerrone, "Disco Nights" by GQ, "Souvenirs" by Voyage, "Come to Me" by France Joli, or "Love is the Message" by MFSB. Yeah, close...but not close enough. ROMEO AND JULIET WAS THE BEST! -



Anne Marie in Philly is dancing herself into a frenzy if she remembers this one.  Love you, girl friend.

And so it goes.

  2. Those were the good old days! Those extended versions were the best to dance on.

    In my minds eye I can see Anne Marie go wild. ;)

  3. The best of times! Never to be repeated. I'm glad I was around during those times.I never got to NYC but we had "our times" in P-town and Philly.
