GOOD MORNING FRIENDS - REMEMBER TIFFINY'S? >>>> The Sault's first discotheque that was located in the Windsor Park Hotel and featured a large dance floor with lights underneath. Fads come and go, but some trends are so ubiquitous they can almost define a generation. When we think of the 1950s, images of CLASSIC CARS, jukeboxes, and ROCK and ROLL come to mind. The 1960s brought us the Beatles, then Hippies and Woodstock. The 1970s brought us DISCO. The Sault did not escape it's allure. Tiffany’s in the Windsor Park Hotel was the first discotheque in the city. It opened in November 1976 and featured a large dance floor, high-end sound equipment, light shows, and professional DJs brought in from Europe playing the latest music from ‘sophisticated’ big cities like New York. Windsor Park Hotel owner Gene Nori apprised the Sault Star, “It really took Saturday Night Fever to get the disco scene going in Sault Ste. Marie. Now our business is steady all week.” Click the Link and listen to YVONNE ELLIMAN sing one of her songs that was featured in the movie SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and OFTEN HEARD AT TIFFANY'S.
