Bob & Pauline Wilson: "Somebody Loves You"


Released in 1981,
this LP is the only album released by this duo
under their own name.

Bob & Pauline Wilson were the driving force behind Seawind,
an excellent jazz-fusion band from Hawaii.




Chicago: "13"


Released in 1979,
this was Chicago's thirteenth (13th) LP 
(duh!)

Being as it was 1979,
the band's producers insisted on
bending their style distinctly
disco-ward.

The results were not as barfy as they could have been,
but still....  really?  
Chicago? Disco?

Kudos to Da Boyz for surviving!
