Volume three of this playlist pick is a great example of how these worked. Hits from the Commodores were played everywhere on the radio and in clubs. Earth, Wind & Fire had hits, but his track was certainly not one of them. Several others in this list are exactly the same. Not hits. But they were played on the dancefloor and when they did, it was full. Numbering continues as we go. We're only at the halfway point here. If you were around during this time, you will recognize a lot of these tracks. And Johnny Rivers says it all with his song the inspiration of this compilation.
