We had an abundance of great jams! I'd get my allowance and head straight to the record store,lol.That was truly one of the best years for music... A plethora of older groups and music styles as well as the emergence of new exciting music styles and artists on the brink of a new era...

Yeah, Donna Summer put out some great stuff in '79. I'm still hoping that her unreleased stuff will surface soon. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Little known fact: Dim All The Lights has the longest held note on a top 40 song in both the U.S and U.K. Not Whitney, not Patti and not one of those random R&B divas who think they're special because they had one hit | |

Ya see, that's why I like the Org--I learn new stuff all the time about some of my favorite artists from way back when, and many times from people younger than me. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

I used to go to record stores and spend hours browsing the racks, memorizing every album cover and drooling 'cause I didn't have any money to actually buy anything! Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths...(Jeremiah 6:16) www.ancientfaithradio.com
