American Top 40- The 1970’s- Week of July 14, 1979. This was back in the day when I was a devoted radio listener- and each of these songs are very familiar to my ears. My favorites from this week- 1- Hot Stuff 2- Bad Girls 3-Chuck E’s In Love 4- Is she Really Going Out With Him 5- The Logical Song. Nothing really awful in this 40- but that Rex Smith song is pretty lame.
