I'm very disheartened with the acts playing the #Soundstorm25 festival in Riyadh. Even one major gay performer plus several EDM DJ's who are supposed allies to the LGBTQ+ community. I guess it's $$$$$ talking.

"Love's Theme" by The Love Unlimited Orchestra was a pre-disco chart favourite from 1974. Produced and written by Barry White. Arguably the first #disco #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Disco was not promoted to radio as such until a bit later that year.

09.10.2025 14:25 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The only reason why it wasn’t the smash in North America that it should have been was due to its delayed release as a single. That was then compounded with the release of Call Me and all of the promotion went to that one.

09.10.2025 00:30 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0One thing that bothers me to no end about social media #influencers is when they flaunt stuff that they get or do which we know is because of their connections. If they would just be upfront and say that they were invited or got it for free for some work they did then that would be so much better.
