Hot 100 Debuts April 28, 1979


Raydio : You Can't Change That


On April 28, 1979, the week Blondie's "Heart of Glass" hit #1 in the US, a surprising number of the Summer's most memorable tunes debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including Raydio's "You Can't Change That", which would enter the Top 10 in August. A live version of the song appears on the No Nukes album. Raydio's leader Ray Parker Jr. would write and record the #1 smash "Ghostbusters" a few years later.
