Black Music Month: Disco Inferno

The three-part series, Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution, debuts on PBS this week.


The first episode focuses on the roots of disco. Philadelphia native, drummer Earl Young, is the architect of disco.


Young is the founder and leader of The Trammps which had a No. 1 hit with “Disco Inferno.”


The Trammps used to perform at North Philly’s Impulse Discotheque (the building still stands).

Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution will premiere Tuesday, June 18 at 9pm ET on PBS (check local listings), PBS.org and the PBS App.
