Saturday Night Fever and Bee Gees help bring disco to popularity. Disco was also popular with Sat- urday Night Fever giving us a danc- ing movie and the Bee Gees provid- ing almost all the disco music on the charts. With the opening of the Super Drum, Austin was entertained by such talent as the Beach Boys and John Denver. Austin also hosted other talented as Harry Chapin and Jackson Browne. But as with every year ending an era of time, this year was no excep- tion. Music lost possibly one of the greatest Bock and Floll singers of all .k k b 3 .fr times, Elvis Presley. Several mem- bers from the Lynard Skynard band died in a plane crash and a Chicago member died from a gun shot wound. Ending an era of time many actors and actresses also died this year. Some of these performers had been acting from even the silent movies. Lost this year were, Bing Crosby, Charlie Chaplin, Joan Crawford, Groucho Marx and Will Geer. Entertainment in 77-78 brought surprises and disappointments but this year will never be repeated in quality. 1. The death of Elvis Presley was unexpected and to many the end of an era of Flock and Roll. 2. Barry Manilow who had a number of songs on the charts and hosted numerous T.V. specials is becoming a household name. 3. The Shining by Stephen King was a classic horror story which many Crockett students were reading for enjoyment. 4. Princess Leia CCarrie Fisherl and R2-D2 starred in the science-fiction hit of the year Star Wars which won six Oscars. 5. Styx featuring Dennis Young brought Sail Away to the charts and themselves to fame and rec nition og . 6. James Broderick and Sada Thompson star in the new hit drama Family which is a present- day Waltons. QCourtesy KVUEJ 0 media 131 by Cheryl Bostick
