I saw this advertisement yesterday over at Jim Bartlett's entertaining and historical Tumblr site (go check it out) and thought I'd share it with you:
This special originally aired on the ABC Network, Friday, November 23, 1979. And thanks to the wonders of the Interwebs, here ya go:
Part 1 is above, here are Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 (complete with original ads). Musical guests for this shindig are disparate acts Chuck Mangione and The Village People, but if my ears don't deceive me, this hedonistic special has a sweet soundtrack (yes, I watched the whole thing because of course I did):
- "Sunset People" by Donna Summer
- "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione
- "Have a Cigar" by Rosebud
- "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer
- "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward
- "Pump It Up" by Fever
- "Move On Up" by Destination
- "Come to Me" by France Joli
- "Heaven Must Have Sent You" by Bonnie Pointer
- "Rock & Roll is Back Again" by The Village People
- "We are Family" by Sister Sledge

HERC, of course, must still honor his mother's original edict from 1979: "You don't need to watch that trash" or something like that.
ReplyDeleteBut that's a helluva playlist, right there. Many of those songs were heard at HERC's local roller rink back then.
