The area was nowhere near as upscale as it is today. On moving back to Chicago in 1977, Goss started dancing at Broadway Limited and Crystal Blinkers in what is now Boys Town. It was there that an aunt introduced him to clubbing. Goss grew up in Chicago, but between the ages of fifteen and seventeen he lived in Atlanta. Goss is the creator of Disco Museum, a sprawling tribute to the glory days of disco, when gay culture crossed over into mainstream America for the first time. In a basement full of memorabilia, Daniel Goss (51) catalogs his experiences, recording rare mixes and scanning personal photographs. The history of Chicago’s gay dance scene has gone mostly undocumented, despite its undeniable influence on the development of disco, house, and pop music.
