Five of my 100 stars just for guy wearing a Paramount pictures shirt. Even the 1970's knows how to outclass today's hipster irony.
Oh, you mean David?

For the dude at :55 doing splits better than the girl.

To be fair, EW&F weren't properly a disco act.
Hipster.
Ack! My thick black plastic glasses!

Ghost stars.
Soul Train fought back by introducing a lot of suburbia to hip-hop and rap. Point to Soul Train.
