HM to the gooey cheese of "Keep on Loving You."  This 8-track (!) was in regular rotation at the McCombs household from late '80 through the end of '81.

I believe the street and the (never-specified, iirc) city were completely fictional.

got here just in time.  Had actually thought of the girl who made this a sledgehammer for me jsut this weekend.  Was wondering if she has aged gracefully at all, which unless the apple fell far, far from the tree would be ulikely.  

She was anything but cold, cold, cold when I knew her tho.

At long last, I can give a BOS vote: "Late in the Evening," especially for that bassline, and for the fact that this was omnipresent on Pittsburgh radio when it came out.

Wiki sez:

Though filmed in Los Angeles (both on location and at CBS Studio Center in Studio City), the series is set in a generic location with a feel of a Northern urban center.

The distinctive theme tune was written by Mike Post and was popular enough to reach the top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100.

for me it's the horns and those occasional popcorn-sounding effects.

BOS in any case.

BOS #2 "Even I Up".  Given that I'd matriculated in 1980 to a college in their hometown, I heard a lot of Heart during my tenure.

Should be interesting to see what Seaver (standing in for Bob) does with 1970 tomorrow.

Early predictions:

Santana, "Black Magic Woman"
something from the Guess Who, maybe "No Sugar Tonight"
something from Janis
Free, "All Right Now"
and a solo Beatle.
