The Godfather of Disco is a feature length documentary based on Mel Cheren's powerful autobiography, My Life and the Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin'.
Through a series of interviews with the who's who of the dance music community, it uses the arc of Mel's life to examine the early 70's musical and cultural currents that gave birth to disco, West End Records' contribution to that scene, the rise of the Paradise Garage, and the onslaught of HIV and its impact on New York City. We look at Mel's activist years as he harnesses the power of music to fight Aids via his charity work for GMHC and 24hrs for Life/LifeBEAT. Through it all, Mel has been there, done that, lived to tell the tale and continues to do it all today.
"The Godfather of Disco is about one man's love of music and how that love has gone on to touch millions of people around the world. As both a gay man and a music industry veteran with a career spanning nearly 5 decades, Mel Cheren has stood at the center of musical and cultural currents that have shaped modern, American culture – none more profound then the disco era of the mid-to-late 70s and early 80s""Mel has seen gay life (and the broader mainstream) move from the silent, repressive society of the 50’s, through the joyful discovery of sexual freedom in the 70's, to the plague years of the 80's and 90's, giving way to the gradual understanding and maturity we enjoy today. I believe his musical vision and AIDS activism pushed gay sensibilities into the greater culture. And our world is better for it."
"I hope you enjoy The Godfather of Disco."
