Song hit Disco Inferno (Burn, Baby, Burn) by the Trammps.
Note: Was called “the greatest disco song in the history of disco.” For what that is worth.
The origin of the phrase burn baby burn————
Shouted out by the Watts rioters of 1965, the phrase “Burn, baby! Burn!” had actually gotten its start as a catchphrase used by the popular radio disc jockey known as Magnificent Montague. Then working at Los Angeles radio station KGFJ, Montague had been using the phrase to introduce records he felt were really hot.
“Disco Inferno (Burn, Baby, Burn) ...
Was called ‘the greatest disco song in the history of disco.’”
It’s one of my favorites for sure.
Heh, Montague is STILL alive. Go figure.
