Description

In the midwest and east, 1979 started off as the coldest year on record since 1880. But things really heated up when a Texas disc-jockey decided to make a gift for the wife he was divorcing. His mix of two great artists singing the same song ended up becoming the sensation of the year. Tune in to hear the stories behind Barbara Streisand's collaborations with Neil Diamond, Donna Sommer, disco hits by Gloria Gaynor and the height of the Doobie Brothers fame.
