  Saturday Night Fever made millions at the box office, earned an Oscar nomination for John Travolta, catapulted The Bee Gees' music career into the stratosphere with a record-breaking, Grammy-winning soundtrack album, and ignited a "disco inferno" that burns to this day. From Travolta's iconic white polyester suit and legendary dance moves, to the flashing lights and illuminated floor of the Odyssey disco in Brooklyn, Saturday Night Fever captured the era like no other film—and launched a phenomenon that changed the world forever. 
   
   
   
  Here, for the first time, is the complete history of Saturday Night Fever. From the New York magazine article that inspired the film—"Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" by Nik Cohn—to the on-and-off-set dramas of Travolta, director John Badham, and producer Robert Stigwood, this deep dive into the making of a movie classic also includes special interviews with actors Donna Pescow and Joseph Cali, among others. It explores the huge impact of the film on the industry—including a "Death to Disco" backlash—as well as on American culture itself. With modern-day insights into its 1970s-era portrayals of gender, sex, and race, this is a richly detailed, delightfully entertaining celebration as glittering and multi-faceted as a mirrored disco ball. It's a must-listen for every movie and music lover who's ever caught the Fever . . .

  Stories I Love To Tell - that...

  Dick Foth can’t stop telling stories. He's been making sense of life through story since he first realized words could become sentences. Now, after eight decades, friends have finally convinced Foth to record the stories he loves to tell in the way he loves to tell them: to a live audience. Stories I Love to Tell became a reality one evening at the Capital Turnaround in Washington, D.C.—a setting for some of Foth’s greatest adventures. And now you are invited into the audience, to find reasons for hope, courage to face hard things, and stories that bring us back together. Our brains are wired for and by story. Memories live in stories; relationships flourish there; identity is shaped there. Values ripen, and belonging is found across generations—around campfires and dinner tables—when moments turn into stories.Why listen to someone else’s stories? If it’s true that every human being somehow reflects God—and Foth believes it is—then maybe stories are the mirrors between every family, tribe, and person on planet Earth. In other words, it’s our stories that give our relationships a chance.Foth especially loves childhood stories, “because when I tell a story from my childhood, it reveals who I am. It is the lens through which I see my world.” As you listen to Stories I Love to Tell, you will see your own world more clearly. You will find yourself thinking, dreaming, and even feeling like a child again. There will be greater heroes to follow, deeper joys to discover, and even more of yourself to see. Foth’s low, kind, and rumbling voice constantly reminds us of the people who care for us, cheer us on, and—almost without our knowing it—become the heroes of the stories we, too, will love to tell. Enjoy!

  Elvis is King: Costello's My Aim...

  An explosive, groundbreaking album that crowned a new king of rock in just 33 minutes Before Elvis Costello was one of Rolling Stone’s greatest artists of all time, before he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he was Declan P. McManus, an office drone with a dull suburban life and a side gig in a pub rock band. In 1976, under the guidance of legendary label Stiff Records, he transformed himself into the snarling, spectacled artist who defied the musical status quo to blaze the trail for a new kind of rock star with his debut album, My Aim Is True. In Elvis Is King, Richard Crouse examines how the man, the myth, and the music of this arrestingly original album smashed the trends of the era to bridge the gap between punk and rock ’n’ roll.
