Forgotten #1 Hits of 1978: Andy Gibb, Rolling Stones & the Dark Stories Behind Them

Coming up on Professor of Rock, we’re diving back to 70s to rediscover 10 hits that were brilliantly crafted for their era—so of course they never quite faded away. But they are stuck in that wonderful decade. We’ll spotlight a duet that rewired the wholesome image of Olivia Newton-John, who dared to take bold risks on screen and on vinyl. There’s the track Miss You from one of the Rolling Stones, whose devoted fans flipped out and accused them of selling out when they jumped on the disco bandwagon to get a #1 hit. Plus, we’ll revisit the record-setting song You Light Up My Life that also tops my list as the worst song I’ve ever heard, written by the biggest creep in the music business, who refused to pay out millions in royalties and even cooked up a scheme that drew aspiring actors into danger. And we also have the colossal smash Shadow Dancing from a Haley’s Comet of the era Andy Gibb, who sadly burned out as one of the most tragic—stars in music history. His famous brothers gave him a song that was bigger than any of their hits, even though they were one of the most successful groups ever, but decades later its all but forgotten.
