Disco had just about totally taken over the islands' radio airwaves by late '78-'79.

KKUA was a station that maintained a "TOP 30" format, yet you can see what dominated it:

Ha ha! That's funny! As I read the list each disco song listed I could hear in my head. I'd be groovin' along with the beat to something like "Don't Hold Back", slow dancin' in my memory with my jr. high sweetheart to "Reunited", tapping my foot and mentally forming the letters to "Y.M.C.A" and then I'd run into something like "We've Got Tonight" by Seger and my internal soundtrack would hear a needle skid across an LP and I'd think, "Huh? Never heard that one..." :icon_lol:
