With disco still at its commercial zenith, dance hits like the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.," Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell," and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" dominated airwaves, but there was also room for everything from power pop classics (the Knack's "My Sharona") to kitschy country epics (the Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia") as well -- toss in perennials from Blondie's "Heart of Glass" to Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Pi¤a Colada Song)" and you've got a real winner. ~ Chuck Donkers   Technical Info Release Date : 04/23/1991 Original Release Date : 1979 Catalog ID : 70674 Label : Rhino Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00081227067427    Product Image
