On this day in 1979, “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” hit #1 in the United States. Young women across the nation, in an obvious attempt to become sexy just for Rod Stewart, searched for every weight loss product they could find. Little did they know that sexy isn’t always small.

Stewart scored another UK number one and US number one single with “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” which was a crossover hit reaching number five on the Billboard black charts due to its disco sound. This was the lead single from 1978’s Blondes Have More Fun…or do they? which went to number one on the Billboard album charts and sold 4 million albums. It was to be Stewart’s last number one album for 25 years

The 1970’s were really messed up, weren’t they? I have a hard time every time I liten to an oldies channel and something from the 1970’s comes on. Last night it was “Play That Funky Music” and they were!!! Everyone dogs the Sixties, but I think the 1970’s were much worse, at least from a musical perspective.
