Studio 54,the Legendary Club
Studio 54, one of the most well known clubs, opened its doors to the public on April 26, 1977. Its enormous size and glamour attracted thousands of people, and just being able to get in meant you were very fashionable. A variety of people entered the club and had the opportunity to listen and dance to the "greatest beats" of the time. The club was originally an old theatre, and many people had been interested in turning the old theatre into a nightclub. However, it wasn't until Steve Rubbel and Ian Schager signed the lease for the building that something really happened. Both Steve and Ian had been working in the night club business so prior experience was a main factor in the success of the club. One of the reasons why studio 54 stood out, was because of its size and decoration. To begin with, it measured 100 meters long by 80 meters wide. Since it was an old theatre, the balcony and the stage was left on purpose to give a theatrical feel. In the balcony there were sitting areas with tables where guests overlooked the huge parquet floor. An enormous strobe light decorated the cl
ub and brightly lit columns came down from the ceiling. Around the dance floor there was a diamond shaped bar with mirrors everywhere. In the basement of the club, VIP's had the opportunity to feel distinguished in a room where only a privileged few could enter and have fun among the elite and fashionable people of the time. Undoubtedly Studio 54 was a spectacular club both in appearance and style. The owners of the club wanted their guests to be unique. That is why even celebrities were stopped at the door. It didn't matter if you were rich or famous, you just had to fit in at the time in order to get in. The person at the door had the difficult role to chose the crowd. He decided who could enter or not. Even Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of the well known group "Chic" could not enter on New Years Eve in 1997. After a heated argument with the doorman and having explained they had been invited by Grace Jones, they left the club in anger. They went home and wrote the hit song " Aaaah Freak Out". The song topped the U.S. charts and later became the 3rd biggest single in the music history.
