Listen "And The Year Is: 1979 - Part 3"
Episode Synopsis
Vietnam is over and 1979 was a transitional year, trying to leave the anger behind. Love was in the air … and on the airwaves.In this episode we cover the musical hits we enjoyed during the last third of 1979. Most of all we delve into the stories behind those hits.Think back to what you were doing in late 1979. Were you heading back to school? Starting a new job? Preparing to pop the question to someone you loved? Or hoping you’d find love. Whatever you were doing, the soundtrack to your life was a melting pot of different artists and creative styles. Disco. Village People. Chic Sister Sledge, The Pointer Sisters, Anne Murray. Dionne Warwick. Olivia Newton-John, The Eagles. Styx. Toto. Rupert Holmes and more.With the divisiveness of Vietnam finally behind us, the music scene became a hodgepodge with no seeming sense or symmetry. But, everything felt a lot lighter, and the music of the day filled the airwaves with love.Pull up a chair and join us as we relive a special time in your life and ours, on The Music Time Machine podcast.
