You're not by any chance getting this one mixed up with the song of the same name by Earth, Wind & Fire...are you? That one was a hit in 1975. :)

1. It's Still Rock And Roll To Me - Billy Joel 4, good chugging effort...
2. Yes, I'm Ready - Teri DeSario with KC 3, listenable enough - but nowhere near as good as Barbara Mason's original...
3. Cruisin' - Smokey Robinson 5, about the best he ever achieved solo-wise...a beautiful song...
4. On The Radio - Donna Summer 2, somewhat typical (by now) affair from Donna...not that good...
5. Stomp! - Brothers Johnson 3, immensely talented duo, but they did better...
6. Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benetar 3, okay but not essential Pat...
7. Three Times In Love - Tommy James ?
8. Into The Night - Benny Mardones ?
and judging by some of the high marks it's accrued, I'd better go 'get' myself a copy...!
9. The Second Time Around - Shalamar 4, happy song still much-loved by soul boys (and girls)...
10. Look What You've Done To Me - Boz Scaggs ?
11. Pilot Of The Airwaves - Charlie Dore 2, rather insipid...okay in very small doses...
12. Lost In Love - Air Supply 4, another attractive ballad...still heard quite a bit to this day on certain stations...
13. He's So Shy - Pointer Sisters 3, rather hamfisted affair and a bit on the 'cutesy' side...did better stuff...
14. Biggest Part Of Me - Ambrosia 4, not quite as essential as 'How Much I Feel', but a fine number...
15. Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt 2, good ol' truckin' music...didn't appeal to me at all...
16. Rock With You - Michael Jackson 3, okay piece of Jacko fluff...
17. Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd 4, despite blanket overplay...
18. Sailing - Christopher Cross 4, slightly better stuff from the man...probably his best...
19. Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me, Girl - The Spinners 4, well-remembered and clever update of the old Four Seasons number with another one attached...not their best by any means, but still good...
20. Sexy Eyes - Dr. Hook 3, inoffensive shuffler, but a bit ho-hum...
21. Shining Star - Manhattans 4, hugely played (soul crowd again!), but undeservedly stiffed...good number...
22. Fame - Irene Cara 4, largely ignored here until the TV series came along...not as bad as some people would have you believe...
23. Against The Wind - Bob Seger 4, marvellous effort which ranks alongside his best...
24. With You I'm Born Again - Billy Preston & Syreeta 3, great syrupy dollop, okay for what it is...but gets somewhat tedious...
25. The Long Run - Eagles 4, cool strutter...still turning out good stuff even when their time was (almost) up...

Earth, Wind & Fire did do a song by this title...it was a #1 hit in 1975. This one (by The Manhattans) is a completely different song and well worth listening to! :D
