I'm sure your audience already knows, but Chic tried to get into Studio 54 one night but were turned away. So they ended up back at Nile Rodgers's place, got drunk, and wrote a song that went. "Awww, fuck you!" Soon after, they changed "fuck you" to..."freak out," and thus a hit was born!

I worked with this guy, and we were talking on our breaks. I happened to bring up Studio 54. He said to me, you don't want to know about that place. I said, what do you mean? The guy said I went to Studio 54 when I was very young with a friend of mine. He said look, I'm not religious, and I was gay then and I'm gay now, but that place was totally what I would have imagined Sodom and Gomorrah would be like. He was completely horrified. He said there were people having sex everywhere. He said, you had to step over people who were on the floor all over the place having sex. He said downstairs there were orgies of every type going on. He said, there was drug taking everywhere, and people were walking around stoned. He said both me and my friend didn't walk out of there, we both ran out. He said you had to be there to grasp at the intense slimy, sleazy, grossness of it all. He said it was not glamours in the least!

The picture of John Lennon and Andy Warhol probably wasn't taken at studio 54. In his last interview Lennon specifically said he avoided going there. Had no interest in going.

a lot of hype, myth and spin is attached to the Studio 54 "story". I think we can safely say that celebrity culture started way before Studio 54- it all started in 1920s Hollywood. Studio 54 also "borrowed" many ideas from other Manhattan Clubs that predated it. There is no doubt Studio 54 captured the public imagination and has prevailed over the decades. It has become a convenient shorthand for the mythical excesses of the disco era.

Years before the studio54, the LIME LIGHT already existed in Montreal and it’s a well know fact that they came to Montreal and were inspired by that club, way more than by any other New York club!

“The space and attendants valued inclusion and acceptance. It was not a place of discrimination.”……stated literally two minutes after talking about how Studio 54 turned people away at the door for not being glamorous, rich, or hot enough. 😂 Studio 54 died because it was hollow. It didn’t actually stand for anything other than the mega-rich and glamorous of Manhattan getting f**ked up and decadent. That’s all it stood for. They try to turn it into a myth about “freedom” and all that, but it stood for the things that Manhattan has always stood for: power, wealth, exclusivity, influence, and scamming the system.The word “freedom” has nothing to do with those qualities.

My mom used to get in that club back in the 70's after she divorced my dad and moved to Manhattan. She was a model so of course they let her in. She has a lot of pictures hanging out with all kinds of rock stars and celebrates but she will never tell me what really went on lol. Only that the place and the times were pretty wild. I imagine sex and cocaine and ludes galore but its my mom so I need to pretend she didn't partake and just went there to dance.

Funny, to say that Studio 54 "wasn't a place of discrimination" when there was a whole thing just before that was mentioned where it's discussed how people were rejected based on looks, or not being the right "type". Yeah, they may have included people of all races and sexual orientation, but not all people in a race or a specific group was included... unless they looked right, or was "hip" or whatever. I mean... Geez! It's even mentioned how the club split apart couples because one-half didn't meet their criteria. The place was ALL about discrimination. LOL!

Hi, HollyHobs - Thanks for making this fabulous video! Studio 54 did not permanently close. It was reopened by Mark Fleishman in 1981 and continued as Studio 54 until 1986. I was hired as its first in-house Design Director in 1982, as suggested by the former owners, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, with the directive "to keep the club looking good." My office was under the dance floor. The majority of celebrities from the late '70s continued to come to the club in the early '80s while I worked there. Notably, Madonna delivered one of her first performances in May 1983, marking the first time she had ever performed in front of an audience of over 1500 people. This memorable moment happened as she emerged from an inflatable cake designed for Fiorucci's 15th birthday party. Additionally, for accuracy, Steve Rubell's last name is pronounced "rue bell," and Roy Cohn's last name is pronounced "cone."

I was teenager during that time, and wanted to go to New York and Studio 54 so bad. My parents would just shake their heads and laugh. I don't think they knew all the nitty gritty of that place. But I did, lol.

Studio 54 was the beginning of another world of snobbery for people who were rejected from normal society but wanted to be snobs more than anything else in the world. Did it not occur to anyone that them wanting to being snobby means that they suck too? They were more exclusive than antisemetic and/or homophobic beach clubs before them, and being gay didn't impress the bouncers if the guests weren't young and beautiful.

I always knew I wanted to experience more of the 1970s. Being born in spring 1975, I still can remember the bright, simple, natural, free spirit of the 1970s. Then I watched it all fade away as the 1980s began. The 1970s and early 1980s were the best time to be alive.
