On today’s edition of Soundwaves 10@10, we look back at July 12, 1979:
The Night Disco Died, an infamous radio promotional event arranged by DJ
Steve Dahl, and held in Comiskey Park in Chicago. The record-burning event
was meant to signal the end of disco as we knew it. So of course, we’ll play

1. Donna Summer – Dim All The Lights
2. Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
3. Sister Sledge – We Are Family
