Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Soundtrack
"Saturday Night Fever is a 1977 American dance film directed by John Badham and starring John Travolta as Tony Manero, an immature young man whose weekends are spent visiting a local Brooklyn discothèque; Karen Lynn Gorney as his dance partner and eventual friend; and Donna Pescow
as Tony's former dance partner and would-be girlfriend. While in the
disco, Tony is the king. His care-free youth and weekend dancing help
him to temporarily forget the reality of his life: a dead-end job,
clashes with his unsupportive and squabbling parents, racial tensions
in the local community, and his associations with a gang of macho
friends. A huge commercial success, the film significantly helped to popularize disco music around the world and made Travolta, already well known from his role on TV's Welcome Back, Kotter, a household name. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, featuring disco songs by the Bee Gees, is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time. The film is the first example of cross-media marketing, with the tie-in
soundtrack's single being used to help promote the film before its
release and the film popularizing the entire soundtrack after its
release" (Wikipedia).
