This article ultimately found its way to Cohn's good friend, talent manager and music industry impresario Robert Stigwood, who at the time was seeking a story to use as a vehicle for a musical film featuring his artists The Bee Gees. Stigwood optioned "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" for what would eventually become the script for the film "Saturday Night Fever". And so, as Povich suggested, "Rebel Without a Cause" was rewritten into a disco movie after all. White settled in Atlanta, Georgia in 1977

But in 1975, they rebounded with "Main Course" which added more of a beat to their songs and they began embracing the new disco sound in their next album "Children Of The World" (1976).

The fact that its star John Travolta and musical performers the Bee Gees were white and presented a heterosexual image helped popularize disco. As Al Coury, president of RSO Records (which had released the bestselling soundtrack album for the film) put it, "Saturday Night Fever" "kind of took disco out of the closet." Some felt disco was too mechanical; "Time" magazine deemed it a "diabolical thump-and-shriek". Others hated the music for the lifestyle associated

When Bee Gees manager Robert Stigwood was producing a movie about a New York disco scene, the working title for the film at that time was "Saturday Night". Stigwood asked the group to write a song using that name as a title, but the Bee Gees disliked it.

The "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, featuring disco songs by the Bee Gees, is one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time. The film showcased aspects of the music, the dancing, and the subculture surrounding the disco era: symphony-orchestrated melodies; haute couture styles of clothing; pre-AIDS sexual promiscuity; and graceful choreography. The sequel "Staying Alive" (1983) also starred John Travolta and was directed by Sylvester Stallone, but received less positive reception. In 2010, "Saturday Night Fever" was deemed "culturally,

Saturday Night Fever (musical) Saturday Night Fever is a musical with a book by Nan Knighton (in collaboration with Arlene Phillips, Paul Nicholas, and Robert Stigwood) and music and lyrics by the Bee Gees. Based on Nik Cohn's 1975 "New York Magazine" article "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" and Norman Wexler's 1977 screenplay it inspired, it focuses on Tony Manero, a Brooklyn youth whose weekend is spent at the local discotheque. There he luxuriates in the admiration of the crowd and a growing relationship with Stephanie Mangano, and can temporarily forget the realities of his life, including a

"Makin' It" had the misfortune of coming to air near the end of the disco fad as backlash against the disco culture (such as the one portrayed in the show) was rising in the United States, culminating in Disco Demolition Night in the summer of 1979. As such, it lasted only eight weeks on air before being canceled. Robert Stigwood, the producer of "Saturday Night Fever" as well as the Bee Gees' manager, was involved in the show's creation,

It was originally intended that Elliman's contribution to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack would be another ballad written by the Gibb brothers, "How Deep Is Your Love". Meanwhile, the Bee Gees produced their own version of "If I Can't Have You" for the film.

For many people, disco is the genre of music most readily associated with the 1970s. First appearing in dance clubs by the middle of the decade, (with such hits as "The Hustle" by Van McCoy), artist like Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor popularized the genre and were described in subsequent decades as the "disco divas."

By the mid-1970s, disco, a form of dance music, was becoming popular, evolving from underground dance clubs to mainstream America. Disco reached its zenith following the release of "Saturday Night Fever" and the phenomenon surrounding the movie and the soundtrack by The Bee Gees.

The brothers wrote the songs "virtually in a single weekend" at Château d'Hérouville studio in France.

Emblematic of country music's rise to mainstream popularity was the commercially successful 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy". The continued popularity of power pop and the revival of oldies in the late 1970s was also related to the disco backlash; the 1978 film "Grease" was emblematic of this trend. Somewhat paradoxically, the star of both films was John Travolta, who in 1977 had starred in "Saturday Night Fever", which remains one

The movie was directed by Bridges. Some film critics referred to the movie as a country music version of "Saturday Night Fever". The film grossed almost $47 million in the United States alone and temporarily recovered Travolta from the 1978 flop "Moment by Moment", but the film was nowhere near as successful as either "Saturday Night Fever" ($94 million) or "Grease" ($188 million).
