Darubini this was the record of the year 1977 (Kenya) if I am not wrong. I was still in primary school but I followed " top 10" on Daily Nation very keenly. Only place to hear this music was on the radio . Or if you had older siblings who played it in the proverbial red Phillips record player. Golden 70's! A marked contrast to what we listen to today.
