Disco does work better with black artists or players. They just feel it more.
Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound is not art or anything so serious.
In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.
Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.
Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.
I think it would be stupid for us to try and tell people who are dancing in a discotheque about the problems of the world. That is the very thing they have come away to avoid.
