Saturday May 20th, 2023 with Elorious Cain
back in the Oldsmobile

Getting back today to a certain celebrated sound that, like the Oldsmobile, is not being made now. We are featuring AMERICAN DISCO, particularly from 1978 and 1979. There are no massive hits from the genre that much of the public is tired of hearing over and over again from that period like ANITA WARD's "Ring My Bell" and "I Will Survive" by GLORIA GAYNOR. The music we feature today was popular in the more hardcore DISCOS at the time.
