Season 3 continues treat for our listeners: an exclusive interview with one of Disco music’s most unsung heroes, D.C. LaRue, and the story behind his classic 1976 dance floor stomper, “Cathedrals”.
More than half a century ago, a cultural and societal movement took root in the streets of New York City. Driven by the post-Stonewall sexual revolution and the masterful work of DJs spinning the latest R&B cuts, people flocked to the clubs in search of their tribe and live out an almost religious experience.
D.C LaRue, by then a seasoned singer and songwriter, was a witness to this phenomenon and encapsulated all of his thoughts on a song that, since its original release, has become a perennial favorite in dance halls all over the world. The enduring legacy of “Cathedrals” is only a part of a long career that saw D.C. bouncing from record label to record label in his early years, ditching music to delve into other creative outlets, tapping into what was happening around him, being discovered by newer generations, and ultimately, enjoying his rightful place as a true Disco legend.
