2. Other...
Exceptional pop-music writers and artists who sadly became better known for their contribution to the disco era than for the great music they made in their youth.

6. Yes.
But I would add that their disco era stuff is really good as well. I am no great fan of disco, but there really was some good pop music that came out of that era.

8. They showed some versatility

a skillful blend of corniness, pathos, hallucination, commonplace, victorian ...

interesting pop, with the curious overlay of a very highpitched male voice bragging sexually
