About the Book

All'inizio degli anni Settanta, all'interno del variegato universo della musica africano-americana, particolarmente nel mondo dell'R&B, si assiste ad un mutamento epocale: prendono piede gli arrangiamenti orchestrali e le atmosfere si fanno più suadenti e leggere, pur conservando in taluni casi le istanze di protesta sociale della gente di colore. Tutto ciò rifletteva, probabilmente, un benessere sconosciuto nei decenni precedenti ed una libertà di espressione, prima impossibile. Mentre il rhythm and blues veniva in parte soppiantato dal funk, a Los Angeles nasceva la 20th Century Records con Barry White testa di serie del nuovo catalogo, da Miami partivano le produzioni della TK Records: esplodevano in pista e nelle classifiche Timmy Thomas, George McCrae e K.C. & The Sunshine Band, a Filadelfia gruppi come gli O'Jays, i MFSB (Mother Father Sister and Brother) e solisti come Teddy Pendergrass e Billy Paul legittimavano la nascita di un vero movimento. Già all'opera fin dalla metà degli anni '60, Gamble e Huff avevano iniziato a sperimentare le soluzioni sonore che, dieci anni dopo, sarebbero state alla base del cosiddetto Philly Sound. Soprattutto il loro lavoro in studio con Jerry Butler (co-fondatore assieme a Curtis Mayfield degli Impressions) portò alla definizione di alcuni precisi moduli espressivi. In particolare un uso dell'orchestra sposata perfettamente alla ritmica, arrangiamenti sofisticati con tendenza al sinfonico, una dinamica morbida e felpata ed una melodia accattivante caratterizzavano quei primi prodotti che diventeranno paradigmatici per una pletora di emuli e succedanei. La disco music ha lasciato un solco profondo nella storia della musica contemporanea, sia per qualità che per quantità (otre settantamila titoli nell'arco di un decennio). In verità, all'inizio degli anni '70 accadde qualcosa che ha modificato in maniera irreversibile il modo di intendere e fruire i prodotti musicali destinati alle piste da ballo. Il nuovo stile, infatti, non era solo un ballo o uno specifico genere di musica, ma diventò ben presto un variegato microcosmo legato ad un preciso modo d'interpretare la vita ed il consumo di tempo libero, di vestirsi, di atteggiarsi; soprattutto, per la prima volta questa nuova liturgia del movimento si consumava con collettiva ritualità in dei veri e propri templi della danza e del divertimento denominati discoteche.
