    I can say that the author does a nice job letting us "meet" the caring
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2014*

This is a tough review to write because I was and still am a HUGE disco fan and have recordings from almost everyone covered in this book.  One of the artists who is a cherished friend and I've also met and seen many of the others perform live.  Hence, I can say that the author does a nice job letting us "meet" the caring, hardworking, gifted, wonderful artists behind the music.The book was originally going to be a biography of Andrea True but that project was sidetracked by her untimely death.  Nonetheless, there is far greater coverage of her than of any of the others and the author's "valentine" to Andrea is clear.  The author did disclose that there were a number of artists who were uninterested in participating in the project but, as a result, he really had to scrape the bottom of the proverbial barrel to include artists who had only one or two hits and recorded one or two albums.  I mean, really......putting Audrey Landers alongside Gloria Gaynor, Linda Clifford and Martha Wash?!  As much as I enjoyed Andrea True's three hits, she was a very weak, at best, singer whose vocals had to be "doubled" to be audible.  Not quite in the same league as Evelyn King or Jeanie Tracy.While the stories of these ladies were interesting to read, the themes were generic......getting cheated out of royalties, not being promoted by their records companies, avoiding the drugs and insanity of Studio 54 when they were performing there and how they've survived post-disco.  After a while it was just the same story with a different name.  The book is also VERY poorly written and horribly organized/edited.  While the author used quotes from his interviewees, his own writing style was totally unengaging and repetitive.Great concept and plan.  Horrible execution.Sorry.  :-(

    Some great info for those who love disco
  

*by B***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2013*

James Arena has written a book that will make a lot of disco lovers happy.  He shines a light on 32 of the ladies who sang some of the biggest disco hits.  He lets the ladies tell their own stories---their family backgrounds, how they got started, how they felt about disco at the time and the hit(s) they recorded, and what they've been up to in the intervening years.  The book contains exactly the kind of information I have been dying to know for a long time.  You come away from the book seeing how strong and resilient these ladies are, as well as what nice people they are.  There is also a strong theme of faith and love for all people running through their lives.  Reading this book helped me realize that the good feelings and happiness that come through when I listen to their music is genuine, and was present during the creative process as they recorded their songs.

    The First Ladies of Disco - The Book
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2013*

I just love The First Ladies of Disco - The Book. It is absolutely phenomenal, and a wealth of wonderful stories from such a fun and exciting part of the music industry genre. I wasn't of age when these women were at the height of their careers, however I do have a great admiration and adoration to each and every one of them for their work and contributions they made to the music industry. The interviews are very well articulated by James Arena. The stories of their lives, before and during and after their successes, hard work and determination are all exciting and inspiring. This book will leave you looking up and researching material of each and everyone of these talented ladies, collecting on vinyl is always fun. Thank you James for taking the time to give dues and admiration to these underrated vocalists who have left their voices on pop culture and a very fun exciting and entertaining soundtrack of our lives.
