HIT SINGLES FROM JANUARY 1979

PLAY THE SHOW

We’ve spent a considerable amount of time and energy on music from the winter of ’79. And I figured it would make sense to ‘wrap up’ our coverage by looking at a few pop songs that debuted around this time. All of the songs that appear in today’s show have made an appearance in my book, ‘American Hit Radio,’ meant to represent prime examples of what the pop charts had to offer during this transitional era.

Here’s a list of songs covered in today’s program;

1)    One Nation Under a Groove – Funkadelic

2)    Take Me to the River – The Talking Heads

3)    I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor

4)    Shattered – The Rolling Stones

5)    What a Fool Believes – The Doobie Brothers

6)    Sultans of Swing – The Dire Straits

7)    Heart of Glass – Blondie
