Speak Easy (Speaks)

Island Park, NY

Owners:
???

DJs:
Steve Thompson

Speak Easy a.k.a. Speaks was on Long Island and was my first Disco in 1976. I remember walking in and being blown away seeing everyone line dancing to More, More, More by the Andrea True Connection with the big Disco ball throwing out light in every direction.
I saw Archie Bell and the Drells do Disco Inferno there and some others.

Oh do I remember speak easy, or speaks as we used to call it. The dancing, the girls, the clothes, the lights, and of course most of all, the MUSIC.
There was live music, and a D.J. .There was upstairs seating as well. It also boasted one of the largest dance floors around.

My first night at a disco was unforgettable. I was 16 with a beautiful Brazilian girl doing the hustle as The Trammps were live at Speakeasy, and when they weren't on stage the DJ was endlessly pumping and mixing "Disco Party" and "Turn The Beat Around" with crazy strobe lights (remember those?) and that disco ball, it was incredible...32 years and a bunch of other ladies from Brasil and other parts later, I'm still diggin those tunes and ocassionally doing the hustle in Manhattan!!!
