Disco is a genre of dance music that was most popular in the mid-late 1970s. It had subgenres like Italo disco, Eurodisco, and Space disco. Eurodisco was more pop-oriented and less soul-influenced than American disco. Well-known performers of late 1970s disco included Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band, Van McCoy, and the Village People. Disco songs typically have a steady four-on-the-floor beat with a hi-hat pattern and heavy, syncopated bass line.
