Studio 54: The Rise and Fall of the Star-Studded New York Club

It Wasn’t a Party without MJ

Another reminder: these were the days of Jackson 5 and Michael’s early career (and I’ll say no more). This is a shot of Steve Rubell (one of the owners of the club), Michael Jackson, Steven Tyler, and Cherrie Currie. As you can see, a regular moment in this night club was what we would consider a celebrity sandwich.

Little did Jackson know at this point that he would later become the King of Pop, introduce a whole new genre and style to the music, and wow the world with his moonwalk. But forget about all that; Studio 54 wasn’t about career moves. It was about wild parties and unforgettable nights (that were probably forgotten the next day due to too much drinking).
