Reigning Disco Queen Donna Summer has never lost her title and that’s thanks to songs like Hot Stuff. Written by Harold Faltermeyer (Axel F) and produced by Giorgio Moroder, the song became a worldwide hit in 1979

Warm Ride was written by the Bee Gees and recorded by a number of acts, including Andy Gibb, but UKs Graham Bonnett pipped them all to the post, when his version peaked at No. 2 on the Australian Singles Chart in 1978. The song spent 21 weeks in Australian singles chart that year.
