Thank God for the albums that came along in 1979, holding disco at bay during the summer. I have seven of those albums you mentioned, plus I have a special 45 version of Journey doing “Loving’ Touchin’ Squeezin,” (with “Do You Recall”) and I have all 7:08 of “Dreams I’ll Never See” by Molly Hatchet on a CD called “Southern Fried Rock..” Some other songs from those albums that I still love to hear: “Half a Mile Away” by Billy Joel, and “Rockmaker” by Toto. The summer of ‘79 also brought us “Cruel To Be Kind” by Nick Lowe and “The Girl of My Dreams” by Brahm Tchaichovsky. 1979 became one of the greatest “album” years with the eventual release of “The Long Run” by the Eagles, “In Through the Out Door” by Led Zeppelin, “Tusk” by Fleetwood Mac, “Head Games” by Foreigner, and “The Wall” by Pink Floyd.

As to Rickie Lee Jones, I too was a bit puzzled when I first heard it. I was around it quite often as the woman I was seeing had a brother at Berklee School of Music who had it on constant rotation. Danny’s All Star Joint quickly became a favorite of mine with its pseudo scat call of ‘doit-doit’.

“I’m In Touch With Your World” remains my top track off of the Cars’ debut album.

Side not – could it be only me, or have the Cars dated a bit since their heyday?

“All Mixed Up” or “Bye Bye Love” — my favorite Cars song, partly for the perfect drum fills in the chorus — would also qualify as great songs from the debut album you rarely hear any more. The side of the album that goes “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight” – “Bye Bye Love” (with a perfectly times silence between the tracks) – “Moving in Stereo” – “All Mixed Up” is one of the best sides of pop-rock vinyl ever.
