The heatwave of 1976, the biggest singles of the year and the decade’s disco hits… Channel 5 tonight

The third programme, which took us into the early hours was more in tune (no pun intended) with my own interest.

Even then, not everything, as the disco era was the tail end of where my own musical heart lies.

I remember them all when they were released but the likes of Boney M, Leo Sayer and Sylvester don’t really do it for me.

I enjoyed Chic, Earth, Wind And Fire, The Jacksons etc though.

In particular, the one that always hits the spot is Candi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Free.

Forty-six years later, it still tingles the emotions.
