The seventies are winding down, it’s 1978. Which of these hits to reach #1 in Canada would you vote for?

**Feel free to pick more than one song.**

Dan Hill, Nick Gilder, Anne Murray(Canadian queen of the seventies) and Gino Vannelli are the Canadian artists to score a #1 in their native land in 1978.

Damn the Gibb brothers ruled 1978, the Bee Gees had few number 1 hits themselves, as well as their younger, solo brother Andy. In addition they also wrote songs for Samantha Sang, Frankie Valli, Andy Gibb, Yvonne Elliman and who knows who else.

I voted for:

Night Fever  
Emotion  
Grease  
Baker Street  
Shadow Dancing(partly because I fear no one will vote for the poor guy, but I also kind of like it)  
With A Little Luck
