Songs Written By Barry Blue
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical compo ...

Italian Americans have played a significant role in America's dance music culture ..

Richie Kaczor
Richie Kaczor (9 December 1952 – April 1993) was an early DJ during disco's infancy in the 1970s. His DJ career began in New Jersey, Kaczor played at clubs in New York City and surrounding states before being asked by nightclub owners Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager to begin a residency at Studio 54. Kaczor, along with Nicky Siano, were the two original DJs to play at the New York venue. At Studio 54, Kaczor most notably championed Gloria Gaynor's track "I Will Survive", a song which became widely accepted as a disco anthem. Siano asserts that it was Kaczor who first noticed the track, originally a B-side to " Substitute", and turned it into a success. It became so well associated with Studio 54 that fellow DJs from Kaczor's time were amazed when the song was not included in the sound track to '' 54'', a movie based on Studio 54.
