K.C. and the Sunshine Band offer a pair of their number-one smashes from 1975 — the night club anthems “That’s the Way (I Like It)” and “Get Down Tonight.” The group Heatwave reunites to sing their era-defining classic “Boo- gie Nights,” and the dynamic duo of Peaches and Herb again encourages the audience to “Shake Your Groove Thing” with their 1978 gold record.

The vital contribution of the 1977 motion picture Saturday Night Fever to the popularity of disco music is honored with a selection of hit songs from the movie sung by the original artists, plus a tribute to the Bee Gees (“Stayin’ Alive”/“How Deep Is Your Love”).
