Continuing with he songs in your radio in Chicago back on Jan. 11, 1977.
PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC-- WILD CHERRY-- Out of Ohio, one-hit wonders. (One of the all-time great dancing songs. If this doesn't get the folks out on the dance floor, nothing will.)
NIGHT MOVES-- BOB SEGER-- title track of Seger's new album
YOU ARE THE WOMAN-- FIREFALL-- first top 40 hit for this new band
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT-- ROD STEWART-- (Talk about your dirty songs!)
MADEMOISELLE-- STYX-- Tommy Shaw had just joined the band, from their "Crystal Ball" album
WALK THIS WAY-- AEROSMITH-- most recent release
NEW KID IN TOWN-- EAGLES--
SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD-- ELTON JOHN--
LIVIN' THING-- ELO--
MORE THAN A FEELING-- BOSTON-- from their debut album from late in 1976. Tom Scholz and Brad Dolp. (My students couldn't understand why an old guy like me could know this was going to be a great album.)
STAND TALL-- BURTON CUMMINGS-- the voice of the Guess Who, this launched his solo career.
BLINDED BY THE LIGHT-- MANFRED MANN-- The Number 1 song in Chicago.
Introducing the segments, Stroud played parts of "Rubberband Man" by the Spinners, and "Disco Duck" by Rick Dees which he said if this is not a case for DJs not to make records, he's not sure what is.
Sure Brought Back Some Memories. Could That Have Been 32 Years Ago?-- RoadDog
Cop Comment: "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkee doodoo."
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
