Earth, Wind & Fire - I Am (1979)

MEMORY

This was another Roller Skating song that was played at least once a night. The songs has such a nice flow to it and the vocals are amazing. There was a ballad on here that got over played but if you want to Boogie, you need to get to the Wonderland.

Roberta Flack - Blue Lights in the Basement (1977)

MEMORY

Skaters....Couples only, ladies choice, Music from Wisconsin Skate University, I remember this song extensively. If there was a slow song that always got played, it was this one. This song reminds me the spot hitting the disco ball, and me sitting down and making sure my laces were tight on my skates. I couldn't skate backwards, so even if it was guys choice, for me it was no choice.

MEMORY

Again, I would hear their songs on the radio, and didn't think they were all that.
another band that I didn't appreciate until I got older. Lot's of great song writing and musicianship. 
I can remember the ending falsetto. A-Mazing! There was a lot of EW&F at WSU.
