Description

Ryan O’Neal co-starred with Barbra in the 1979 sports romantic comedy film “The Main Event,” which introduced this first of her two 1979 disco hits (the #1 Donna Summer duet “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” would follow four months later). This commercial single track was one of several different versions of “The Main Event” song included in the movie’s soundtrack LP and was labeled as the “Short Version,” though there was also a yet shorter promo 45 edit which was sent to radio stations: https://youtu.be/MWNqWX0xDtY
