Cerrone is up there with Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, MFSB, and SalSoul Orchestra for creating disco music which would change to house and EDM music.
Europe made disco become chilly and 'star warrish', since we Europeans had been so much into prog rock and we basically wouldn't conceive music without keyboards. After progressive, electronic 'new prog' music was rising high with people like Alan Parsons, Jean Michel Jarre, etc., hence the connection with disco came almost natural. How strange but intense is the way such a sensuous and sexy stylistic music like funky-disco could live side by side to those cold keyboard sounds. A perfect blend.

MERCI ENORMEMENT pour ce docu. Cerrone a tellement marqué ma jeunesse. Sa musique est dans mes favoris et je l'écoute presque tous les jours. Un jour, je suis persuadé qu'on travaillera ensemble sur de super projets....
Great to discover this short documentary. I remember buying Love In C Minor back in 77 it was a new exciting futuristic euro electro sound but with soulful vocals. It was more orchestral than Giorgio Moroeder's work with Donna Summer. It had touches of Kraftwerk & Barry White's lush orchestration. Of course typically for the time it got zero airplay on BBC Radio 1, the blandest radio station in the world at the time. Very few real disco/dance tracks or soul/funk records made it onto the Radio 1 playlist back then- even established African American superstars like Diana Ross struggled to get their records played on Radio 1. Supernature was his breakthrough hit in the UK but only thanks to Kenny Everett featuring it on his TV show with dance group Hot Gossip performing their "raunchy" (for 78) routine to the track. Corona was a pioneer leading the way for David Guetta, Daft Punk Bob Sinclair, Mirwas, Spiller to dominate dance music since 2000. He still sounds fresh today
Que de souvenirs 👍. J'ai connu sa boutique de vinyles à belle épine, import music. Je l'ai vu derrière sa caisse quand j'achèterai ses disques. On portait les chemisettes avec dans le dos les pochettes imprimées des vinyles. Le bon temps, pas ce monde de fou que l'on vit maintenant 😬
Well, it seems that if it wasn't for the takeover of the disco genre music, most current music venues would not have existed. Disco did not only took over the world(s), but revolutionized accessible tangents of music discoveries. Although the "disco-unification" of the people no longer exist, there may be some hope for the humans that perhaps one day, they'll return to unify without racial separation, social status, religion and political coagulant.
I noticed that he did not give credit to Alec R Costandinos for 'Love in C Minor' and 'Midnite Lady' plus Kongas "Anikana-O" - What happened between this two?
Great documentary but it's a shame neither Lene Lovich (who wrote the lyrics to Supernature) nor session singer extraordinare Kay Garner (who reputedly sang on it) get a mention.
Cerrone is great! And this is a big news.. he speaks French. Not English. Sant Tropez, i do not know where it is... it is somewhere in France, as i gues... it is a big news for me... i like a lot SuperNature.
Je regrette qu'il ne parle jamais vraiment de comment se faisaient les compositions concrètement... Il est batteur, je veux dire à quel point a-t-il écrit et arrangé les musiques ? C'est quand même le plus important ! Quel était le rôle de Costandinos, Raymond donnez ou Alain wisniak ?
Discovios He wouldn't ever mention Alec Costandinos who was the nucleus for Cerrone's disco career in writing every existing not of 'Love in C Minor' and 'Midnite Lady' . Cerrone tried to discredit him and the rest is history
This is racist and sexist. Listen to "In Time" by Sly & the Family Stone and the Parliament releases 1974-1976 if you don't believe me. Also try explaining how not giving the female vocalists and models credit isn't exploiting the shit out of them. House music wasn't inspired by this kind of trash, it was a rebellion against it.
itsthatsebguy93 In a debate, attacking the character of the person you are debating while ignoring the content of their argument is considered a concession.
notrningwheels Concession to what? People get fucked over on album credits all the time, its a real stretch to say its become of some racist/sexist conspiracy . Disco was one of the most inclusive scenes in the history of music but you think its racist? (lol) I Really don't understand this modern obsession with labeling everything as sexist, racist and or homophobic. Its a nonsensical and reminds me of mccarthyism.
itsthatsebguy93 "People get fucked over on album credits all the time, its a real stretch to say its become of some racist/sexist conspiracy" That is a crude generalization. It's actually called 'Dick Fear' and if you are picking music to have sex to it's extremely relevant. I think George Carlin explained it best. "Disco was one of the most inclusive scenes in the history of music but you think it's racist? (lol). Really don't understand this modern obsession with labeling everything as sexist, racist and or homophobic. Its a nonsensical and reminds me of mccarthyism." Studio 54 is generally regarded as the most exclusive club in dance music history. It was inclusive like the Super Bowl. Women, Black, and gay people were being used to promote the clubs and disco albums in order to make rich old white men richer. It's not a conspiracy, it's economic history. The club owners of Studio 54 were very open about this. In a disco documentary they were quoted as comically arguing about how much more the bar would make if they let different people into the club. It's like Facebook. It's free because you are the product that is being sold. Sexism, racism, and homophobia are complicated issues, but I can assure you that McCarthyism is not related.
notrningwheels Dude you're looking for sexism and racism so you find it. Its basic confirmation bias. Just like in 1948 people were looking for communists so they found them. I'm sure i could find homoeroticsm in the works of Beethoven if i went looking for it You are just another brand of moral crusader looking for threats in inconnus things. Like the social conservatives in the 90's that blamed marilyn manson for school shootings. But i'm starting to think i'm being trolled here, because this is just silly. I've been baited by clever trolls before and i'm half sure you are one of them.
Incroyable personnage Merci pour votre musique ❤

This is awesome
Que de souvenirs 👍. J'ai connu sa boutique de vinyles à belle épine, import music. Je l'ai vu derrière sa caisse quand j'achèterai ses disques. On portait les chemisettes avec dans le dos les pochettes imprimées des vinyles. Le bon temps, pas ce monde de fou que l'on vit maintenant 😬
Just love this guy!
i have managed to keep all of this in plastic - on vinyl. highly important material.
Very collectible for sure
Salut Cerrone! Vous avez bien vu!
C'est ce qui va se passer, à moins que l'on prenne conscience de ce qui se passe!!!
yeah! very sweet documentary, très sympa!! and cerrone is totally awesome anyway. definitely up to moroder and kraftwerk!
Just got the vinyl in the mail gonna blast supernature asap
excellent Doc, thanks much guys.
the record company should remaster all the back catalog in 180 audiophile vinyl !!!!
clubklass45 they already did. In 2014. Very over compressed and sounds like SHIT.
Yep, the originals still sound the best. It's a shame they messed it up so much.
the real best

To this day he is still single!!

Je regrette qu'il ne parle jamais vraiment de comment se faisaient les compositions concrètement... Il est batteur, je veux dire à quel point a-t-il écrit et arrangé les musiques ? C'est quand même le plus important ! Quel était le rôle de Costandinos, Raymond donnez ou Alain wisniak ?

Discovios He wouldn't ever mention Alec Costandinos who was the nucleus for Cerrone's disco career in writing every existing not of 'Love in C Minor' and 'Midnite Lady' . Cerrone tried to discredit him and the rest is history
by the way he look like one of daft punk members)
He great but you can't put him in the same category as Kraftwerk.. not in a million years..
Parla ITALIANO
lol his life like barely believable movie script
