If you were to judge the Summer of ’79 exclusively by its hit singles (as we attempt to do today) you’d think that music was in a slump at that time. After some research, though, I was bowled over by the unbelievable amount of great albums that were released during this very same era.
The evidences was so convincing that we’ve decided to dedicate the rest of this summer (or at least the next 3 shows) to album tracks from the Summer of 1979. Meanwhile, here are a few representative singles from that same era;
Shake Your Body Down to the Ground – The Jacksons
In the Navy – Village People
I Want You to Want Me – Cheap Trick
Good Times – Chic
After the Thrill Is Gone – Earth, Wind & Fire
The Devil Went Down to Georgia – The Charlie Daniels Band
Is She Really Going Out with Him? – Joe Jackson
Goodbye Stranger – Supertramp
Dirty White Boy - Foreigner
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson
