 | | His work on Summer's Love to Love You Baby (Casablanca, 1975), Once Upon a Time (Casablanca, 1977) and Bad Girls (Casablanca, 1979), and his soundtrack work for Midnight Express (for which he won his first Academy Award), American Gigolo and Cat People are quintessential cultural icons. |
 | | They also constitute a key musical bridge between the '60s and the '80s — the transition from loose, syncopated funk to tight, precise protohouse beats — and their influence persists mightily. |
 | | After alchemizing the essential disco sound and gestures on “Love to Love You Baby” — the four-on-the-floor pulse rhythm, octave bump bass, squeegee guitars and strident strings, not to mention the extended supermix — he carried disco further into the future. |
