This is how communities are different even when you'd think everyone is connected in a modern age.

That song was all over urban radio back in the day. And we been knew who The Whispers were way before that jam.

We were all album rock progressive rock guys. Disco sucked unless you were roller skating or at a dance. Rush, Floyd, Genesis, Kiss, Zeppelin, Sabbath. Local college radio station went pirate and played album rock even though their licence stipulated middle of the road stuff. Eventually all the commercial stations realized how much market share they had lost and complained to the CRTC and forced CIXX 103.9 to conform to their licence.
