    Default A tough one from 1979

    This was a disco song on the radio in the U.S. around August 1979. The lead singer was a female. The lyrics I recall went something like this: "There was a time when I wanted you... Was there a time when you wanted me too?". Followed by something repetitive like "Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't get in my way...".

    Not the song I was looking for, but by a strange coincidence this is another song I always liked, but never knew who it was. So thank you very much!

    I had no idea this was by KC and the Sunshine Band! I only knew them for Get Down Tonight and That's the Way (I Like It), earlier in the seventies. For those interested, here is some information on "Please Don't Go":

    "Please Don't Go" is a song recorded and released in 1979 on the KC and the Sunshine Band album Do You Wanna Go Party. Originally written in the key of D flat, the song was the band's first love ballad. In the song, the subject pleads for a second chance. Shortly after the song's one-week run at number one, the group broke up and Harry Wayne Casey went solo. The song was a number-one hit on the Australian ARIA Charts, their sixth and final number-one hit in Canada on the RPM national chart as well as their fifth and final number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts, and the first number-one hit of the 1980s.
