Disco took it rougher than most genres when it fell from popularity more than 30 years ago. However some recent developments have brought the genre back to...no quite hip, but getting there. The year's top-selling single thus far, Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" featured contributions from Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, whose band was at the peak of its popularity during the late '70s (although Chic is one of the few disco acts that has always been chic). Disco's biggest name, Donna Summer, is next in line for revitalization.
Interest in Summer's music saw a spike after her death during 2012, and record label Verve will be releasing a remixed album of her hits, titled "Love to Love You Donna." Among the acts who will take a stab at re-imagining the vocalist's works are Hot Chip, Holy Ghost! and Duke Dumont. Masters at Work and Frankie Knuckles, two acts that have long been House music staples, will also contribute.
For an example of what to expect on "Love To Love You Donna," Check out out the video for Chromeo's spin-off of "Love Is In Control (Finger on The Trigger)" below.
