Disco timeline by Barry Lederer
When did Disco begin? Although we acknowledge that Disco started in the 1970s, there were many events that led up to it. Here is a shortened version of some of the events which gave us a great moment in time. These comments are paraphrased from a book as referenced at the end of this piece.
Spring 1939 - The Swing Kids were a smalll middle class youth movement that were dedicated to jazz and its outrageous fashion. It was a reaction to the Nazi movement, growing in Germany. A movie was made telling of their story. Unfortunately, the SS eventually closed them down.
1942-3 - La Discotheque, a basement nightclub with only one turntable opens in Paris.
1947-8 - Paul Pacine opens the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Paris and sets this club as a forerunner for European nightlife, especially for the Jet Set.
1961 - The Twist becomes the craze in the United States and the Peppermint Lounge is the place to be in New York City.
Roger Earle starts Djing at The Twisted Earle in Manchester, United Kingdom and creates the foundation of the Northern Soul scene which would have a big impact on Disco.
May 1965 - The trendy Arthur opens in New York. It was here that DJ Tery Noel became the first DJ to mix records (However I have heard many others claim to be the first).
1966 - The Equals version of Hold Me Closer and Baby Come Back becomes a big hit in Europe setting in motion Europop and then Eurodsco.
September 1968 - The Contentinal Baths opens in New York City. (The rest is history)
1969 - The Church, later called the Sanctuary opens on West 43rd Street in New York City and the legendary Francis Grasso is the DJ.

1969 - The Cockettes, featuring Sylvester opens as a theatre troupe in San Francisco
1970 - David Mancuso and his Loft parties begin in New York and become a foreunner of many clubs to come.
1970 - The Ice Palace opens in Fire Island, followed by the legendary Botel and The Sandpiper in the Pines. All three discos are major forces in the disco movement.
