This Sunday morning at 8 join Casey Kasem for another classic American Top 40 show! This weekend he’s counting down the top tunes from March 22nd, 1980 and today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 is song you’ll hear on the show, from Donna Summer it’s “On the Radio”.

The song appears on her albums “On the Radio: Volumes I and II” and the song was released in November of 1979 becoming Donna’s 10th top 10 hit and the 8th consecutive top 5 song. The song was actually written for the movie “Foxes” starring Jodie Foster and Scott Baio. Remember that one? Me neither!

I found a performance of the song from VH1 Diva’s Live ’99. It’s the Queen of Disco Donna Summer with “On the Radio”. The Forgotten 45 is sponsored by Honey Creek Furniture in Manchester, Eastern Iowa’s fastest growing La-Z-Boy store. You’ll find them at honeycreekfurniture.com.
