     Not many artists could pull off such a variety of styles (funk, post-disco, rock, easy listening, ballads) back then.

   • 2009 May 29, Simon Reynolds, “Grunge's Long Shadow”, in Slate‎^[1]:

     Bridging the so-called death of disco and the birth of house, all this early-to-mid-'80s music lacks a name beyond drably functional and neutral terms like "dance" or "club music." Post-disco is better because this was music created by and for people […] who refused to accept the official decree of disco’s demise.
