Episode 12: The Week Ending July 14, 1979, Good Times, Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, Nuff’ Said

With 12 episodes in the till, there ain’t no stopping us now, and you can’t change that!  We started out with big dreams of making it, but not in terms of gold, only in terms of good times.  As we explored the boogie wonderland, we found songs that made us want to dance the night away. Songs that reached out to the heart, as if they were pleading, I want you to want me.  We heard music that made us feel like being in love with a beautiful woman. There were times we wanted to just go up on the roof and stare at the shadows in the moonlight, pondering the existence of a truly logical song. In this episode we will do a minute by minute examination of the songs from the Billboard Chart of July 14, 1979. Now let’s get on with the main event!
