ReviewsExpertly rendered, wide-ranging history of one of pop's most exciting social and musical movements., [An] entertaining and convincing reclamation of what was once Western culture's most reviled music...It's a scholarly read powered by the thump-thump of Giorgio Moroder's synths; you'll find yourself humming Ring My Bell and searching YouTube for evidence of Sylvester's fabulosity., Hot Stuff is a thoroughly researched, scholarly credible and fiercely entertaining dissection of disco's origins and influence...An endearing platform--with matching shoes--to the music we can't and shouldn't forget., Exhilarating, perceptive...an important work of cultural and musical resuscitation, written with a scholar's acumen but a fan's ardor., A quietly dazzling history...Hot Stuff is the result of a lifetime of thinking deeply about the music and its influence.
