Episode 14: The Week Ending July 31, 1976 Moonlight Feels Right, but the Afternoon is a Delight

Someone’s knocking at the door. It could be a sophisticated lady, are you going to let her in? Or it could be that the boys are back in town and they are ready to give up the funk and tear the roof off the sucker, are you going to let ‘em in? Of course it’s summer, you should be steppin’ out to soak up some of that sunshine, what an afternoon delight. You should be dancing, shake your booty, if you know what I mean. My love is alive, the moonlight feels right, so don’t go breaking my heart, kiss and say goodbye. This week we get closer and expose this masquerade that is the Billboard chart of July 31, 1976.
