  • John Luongo interview podcast hosted by Lenny Fontana # 146 - True House Stories®
    TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ JOHN LUONGO # 146 INTERVIEWED BY LENNY FONTANAJohn Luongo is one of the true legendary DJ's andRemixers of the Disco eras. John has remixed tracks for just about everybody, from many of the gems of classic Disco acts like; The Jacksons, Dan Hartman, K.C. & the Sunshine Band, Melba Moore and Jackie Moore to the real Synth POP bands like Visage, Ultravox, Peter Goodwin, The The, and Men Without Hats. He has also worked with some great POP/Rock stuff for Queen, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Huey Lewis & the News, Hall & Oates, Greg Kihn, and Cheap Trick…Hailing from Boston, John ‘TC’ Luongo is widely seen as one of the most influential DJs and mixers of the Disco era. For over a decade, until he stepped away from mixing, almost everything he touched was a bonified hit. John started with music career back during his time at university. He studied Civil Engineering and graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, Ma. In 1973 with a degree of BS in Civil Engineering he knew he had a greater calling and this was music... While studying at university, John took on a part-time job as a DJ at a club in Boston called The Townhouse, which was, at that time, located above a bar called The Bull and Finch, upon which the TV show 'Cheers' is based. Sometime, while still at university he got his nickname - "TC", which some of his old-time friends still use to call him. The name refers to a cartoon character in the US who was very hip and cool. this cat was named "Top Cat". John's friends would tease him as "Top Cat” who was the leader of the gang, and John was the leader of the Disco scene in the New England area. Thus, the nickname, John "TC" Luongo! John later went on to be the DJ of a club called Rhinoceros, the largest business club in Boston, which eventually became the largest black disco in all of New England nd the East Coast and help him start his career in Radio, and as well help to start the record pools up in the Boston Area. The list goes on and on from this mastermind.Here is a mantra that John said at the 1978 National Disco Awards:The day Disco dies is the day people stop dancing.And people aren't about to do that.There will always be Disco in one form or another.” How right he was then and as he is now. He is active even today, running a publishing collection company, but let’s step back in time and have a chance to share a moment of him working on some of these amazing songs that are still in rotation today.
