The King of Disco: Alec r Costandinos

You just have to love his disco, long pieces of music (not rare to venture near the 15 minute mark) with their own stories to tell:

Romeo & Juliet : a classic masterpiece, great melodies and bass. If u get the chance 2 hear it,listen 2 it, this is disco with a twist.

Alec had a tendency to let his music tell a story, he's also responsible for :
the trocadero suite and the Hunchback of the Notredame

but his sideproject Sphinx is not to be underestimated as well! It features 2 songs, judas Iscariot and Saint Peter, but musically it's real close to disco heaven!

Another of his side-projects was : Love & Kisses , known for their hit "Thank God it's Friday"...

If u have the chance check out this king of disco!

"Romeo and Juliet"(1978) is a Disco classic!! One of the most dazzling Disco songs ever,it's intoxicating and will leave you delirious on the dance floor.

There were so many underrated artists that recorded for Casablanca Records in the late 70s.I'm sure Finess would agree with me...lol...
