This stunning group of artists will sing the TOP20 from Oct 26 1979. And what a collection of songs it was from a time when…… Carlton won the grand final, Malcolm Fraser was prime minister, Philip Silleny attempted to hijack a TAA aircraft near Brisbane but was disarmed by hostess Esme Qazim and other crew and the American space station Skylab crashed in Esperance, Western Australia
