Tonight from 8pm to 10pm CT it's another edition of 70’s Gold with DJ Ernie T — and this week, we’re zeroing in on the unforgettable sounds of 1978, a year when disco, funk, pop, rock, and soul all ruled the airwaves at the same time.
DJ Ernie T is digging deep into the grooves and spinning a powerhouse lineup that captures the pulse of the year. You’ll hear the smooth harmonies and New Orleans soul of The Neville Brothers, the chart-topping pop magic of Andy Gibb, and the worldwide dominance of Bee Gees.
The funk gets turned all the way up with Parliament, while the dance floor stays packed thanks to Chic. Add in the power-pop punch of Nick Gilder, classic British rock from The Kinks, and the unmistakable voice of Linda Ronstadt.
You’ll also hear early rock attitude from Patty Smyth, the melodic West Coast sound of Little River Band, and many, many more surprises along the way.
If 1978 was the soundtrack to your life — cruising the boulevard, lighting up the dance floor, or blasting the radio with friends — this episode is made for you.

What song from 1978 instantly takes you back the moment you hear it?

December 20, 1973
At just 37 years old, Bobby Darin died during surgery to repair a heart valve that had been implanted two years earlier. It was a tragic and far-too-early end to one of the most versatile careers in popular music.
Darin burst onto the scene in 1958 with the playful, million-selling hit Splish Splash, instantly establishing himself as a major new star. Throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, he proved he was far more than a novelty artist, moving effortlessly between rock and roll, pop, jazz standards, folk, and even film and television.
Like many American artists of his generation, Darin saw his chart dominance challenged by the British Invasion in the mid-1960s. But true to form, he reinvented himself once again and staged a powerful comeback in 1966 with If I Were a Carpenter, a song that revealed a deeper, more introspective side of his artistry and reintroduced him to a new audience.
In accordance with his wishes, Bobby Darin’s body was donated to UCLA’s medical school. There was no funeral, no public ceremony—just a quiet final act of generosity from an artist who spent his life constantly evolving and giving everything he had to his craft.
From teen idol to serious interpreter of the American Songbook, Bobby Darin packed several lifetimes of music into just 37 years.

Which era of Bobby Darin’s career meant the most to you?

December 20, 1957
Just five days before Christmas, Elvis Presley received his draft notice from the United States Army—a moment that sent shockwaves through the music world and his devoted fans.
At the height of his fame, with hit records climbing the charts and Hollywood calling, Elvis faced the news head-on. When asked by reporters, he responded simply and respectfully: “It’s a duty I’ve got to fill, and I’m going to do it.” No special treatment. No deferment. Just service.
Elvis would be officially inducted at the Memphis Draft Board in March of 1958 and sent to Fort Hood, where he completed basic training before continuing his Army service overseas. For many fans, seeing the King trade his gold records for a military uniform marked the end of an era—and the beginning of a new chapter that reshaped his image and career forever.
Some believe his Army service humanized him in the eyes of America. Others feel it temporarily slowed the rocket ship that was early rock and roll. Either way, it remains one of the most defining moments in Elvis Presley’s life and legacy.

Do you remember how you felt when Elvis went into the Army—and do you think it ultimately helped or hurt his career?

🎵 “Rock My Baby, Rock” – Jerry Lewis (1958) 🎵

Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to a time when Hollywood was having a little fun with the brand-new sound called rock and roll.
In 1958, Jerry Lewis starred in the American musical comedy Rock-A-Bye Baby, directed and written by the brilliant Frank Tashlin. The movie was a loose remake of Preston Sturges’ classic comedy The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek and featured a strong supporting cast including Marilyn Maxwell, Connie Stevens, and Reginald Gardiner.
One of the film’s most memorable moments comes when Jerry spoofs the rapidly rising rock and roll craze with the song “Rock My Baby, Rock.” In classic Lewis fashion, the performance is over-the-top, fast-paced, and loaded with physical comedy.
Even better, Jerry fronts a band dressed in outfits clearly inspired by Bill Haley & His Comets, capturing the look and energy of early rock acts that were shaking up American music in the mid-1950s. The highlight for many fans is Jerry’s unexpected drum solo — pure slapstick, pure timing, and pure Jerry Lewis.
It’s a perfect snapshot of Hollywood’s playful reaction to rock and roll just as it was exploding into the mainstream — part parody, part celebration, and completely unforgettable.

Do you remember the first time you saw this scene, or what early rock-and-roll movie moment made you laugh the most?

December 19, 1944
On this day, Alvin Lee was born in Nottingham, England — the blazing guitarist, singer, and songwriter best known as the driving force behind Ten Years After. With his lightning-fast picking, blues-soaked tone, and explosive stage presence, Lee became one of the most electrifying guitar heroes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Alvin Lee etched his name into rock history with Ten Years After’s legendary performance at Woodstock in 1969, where their incendiary rendition of “I’m Going Home” stunned the crowd and showcased Lee’s jaw-dropping speed and precision. That performance helped propel the band to international fame and made Lee a symbol of the power and freedom of the era’s blues-rock movement.
Beyond Woodstock, Ten Years After delivered a string of influential albums and tracks, including “Love Like a Man,” “Good Morning Miss Brown,” and “I’d Love to Change the World,” blending blues tradition with modern rock energy.
Sadly, Alvin Lee passed away on March 6, 2013, at the age of 68, but his legacy lives on in every blistering solo and every guitarist inspired by his fearless style.
What’s your favorite Alvin Lee or Ten Years After song?
