Today, KBIM in Roswell, New Mexico, simulcasts KBIM-FM (93.7 FM), with a Regional Mexican format ("93.7 La Ley"), but when they started in 1953, they were a Top 40 station. Since the last several weeks were from broadcasters in the 1950’s, I chose the survey from January 24, 1976, and yes, there’s some disco…
- Donna Summer, “Love To Love You Baby”
- The O’Jays, “I Love Music”
- Barry Manilow, “I Write The Songs”
- The Sweet, “Fox On The Run”
- The Ohio Players, “Love Rollercoaster”
- Electric Light Orchestra, “Evil Woman”
- George Baker Selection, “Una Paloma Blanca”
- Paul Simon, “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover”
- C.W. McCall, “Convoy”
- Diana Ross, “Do You Know Where You’re Going To (Theme from Mahogany)”
And that’s Top Ten Tuesday for January 31, 2023.
I got to Convoy and then it prevented me from playing but I went to YouTube and listened even thoug1h I know the songs well. I appreciate Barry Manilow more now than when he was a big hit back in the 70s.
I have not heard the Fox song in decades and always loved that song so thanks for bringing that back. After listening to Donna , I need a xold shower! I also loved Una Paloma which was played at numerous weddings. ELO is another huge fav of mine and I own most of their albums. I think they were the first to really bring out the special effects etc qith their performances. Now I must play catch up.

Glad you enjoyed it! When I finish the US(I’m taking each state in reverse alphabetical order), maybe I’ll do Canada…

Mid-level manager when these were popular. Never went to a disco but did tear it up at the Whisky a go go in Chicago in the late 60s

I just looked up Whisky A Go Go (I was a little too young to remember it)in Chicago. If it was at Rush and Chestnut, it was about two blocks north of Loyola University downtown, where Mary and I went to school.
