This week, the Strictly Soundtracks team returns to the mirror ball to explore how three movies released in the late 1990s brought the grooves and glamour of the ’70s back to the big screen. We dive into Boogie Nights, The Last Days of Disco and 54, three movies that gave the disco era a glittery reboot for a new generation. With a playlist spanning everything from Grace Jones and Diana Ross to Chic and Bonnie Pointer, join us as we revisit the 1970s… through the lens of the 1990s.
