Just got done listening to the Top 100 of 1979, all of em. Some highlights....
100..."Soul Man" Blues Brothers....very well done and the all-star band is unbeatable
95....."Ain't No Stoppin Us Now" McFadden and Whitehead....R & B songs like this were casualties (at that time) of the otherwise pleasing Disco era
89...."Broken Hearted Me" Anne Murray....I always thought she skillfully straddled Pop and Country
84...."Good Girls Don't" the Knack....wow they sure fell off the face of the earth, but I love the harmonica
70...."What You Won't Do For Love" Bobby Caldwell....I remember when this record first came out, it was featured on a heart-shaped disc. Having gone from boy to man, my voice can no longer hit the high notes on this one
61...."I Want Your Love" Chic....I always loved the guitar work of Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards wherever it turned up, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, etc
60...."You're Only Lonely" J.D. Souther....he is a great singer seemingly patterned after the great Roy Orbison, especially this tune
53...."Lonesome Loser" the Little River Band....talk about underrated bands
52...."When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" Dr. Hook....maybe it's just an ego problem..problem is I've been burned before....hehe
39...."Sail On" Commodores....'nuff said
35...."Stumbin In" Suzi Quatro/Chris Norman....a song I love and I don't know why
7......"Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" Rupert Holmes
2......"Bad Girls" Donna Summer....everytime the 70's station promises Donna in the next hour, I always straighten up
Anyone living at this time?
