2. Bee Gees - How Deep is Your Love

3. Bee Gees - Night Fever

4. Bee Gees - More Than a Woman

5. Yvonne Elliman - If I Can't Have You
6. Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven
7. Tavares - More Than a Woman
8. David Shire - Manhattan Skyline
9. Ralph MacDonald - Calypso Breakdown
10. David Shire - Night on Disco Mountain
11. Kool & the Gang - Open Sesame
12. Bee Gees - Jive Talkin'
13. Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing
14. KC and the Sunshine Band - Boogie Shoes
15. David Shire - Salsation
16. MFSB - K-Jee
17. The Trammps - Disco Inferno

Basically, this album was #1 for the first half of 1978 (1/21/78-7/7/78) so it's no surprise that this is the featured album this week. I know some people have huge negative feelings about disco or whatever, but just listen to the first four songs. It's amazing. If the soundtrack had just been a 5 track EP of just the first side of the album, it would have been a best-seller.

Throwback Thursday: 1978

10. Kansas - Dust in the Wind
9. Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island
8. Andy Gibb - (Love is) Thicker Than Water
7. Paul Davis - I Go Crazy
6. Yvonne Elliman - If I Can't Have You
5. Samantha Sang - Emotion
4. Barry Manilow - Can't Smile Without You
3. Eric Clapton - Lay Down Sally
2. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive

Well, with three songs from Saturday Night Fever and three songs featuring Gibbs, I would remiss if I didn't pick one that had both features. This is a classic. And wouldn't it have been sad if I went through all of the 70's without ANY disco? I sense some of you are saying "No" but to you I say, stay tuned. Maybe next week will have a real rocker! Actually, this one rocks pretty hard. Just think of them as singing falsetto like Judas Priest!
