It's a constant source of surprise to hear of all these records that were
big on the radio in detroit or whatever.
The only thing I care to add to this is the qualifier that 'big on the
radio' needs to be severely limited to a very few shows in particular
places and times...like in the middle of the night/end of the dial in
most cases.
When Ann C. was cranking out those tracks - trust me - outside of record
geeks, select DJs and clubbers who paid attention, very few people in my
experience ever heard them. That's not to say I had a lid on everything
happening, but I was in my mid/late 20s, going to a lot of gigs,
ordering imports for a record store and about town a bit.
