Going For The Gold: Kansas
A Peak at the Single Sleeve of a Potentially Gold Record from Kansas (Kirschner, 1978)
Kansas has moved plenty of albums in their long (and still happening) career. But did any of their seven singles between 1977 and 1986 sell more than a million copies?
Yes, indeedy, it was “Dust in the Wind,’ their classic stab at Brit-inspired agrarian folk rock that harvested the lone gold record for the band from Kansas.
Written by their guitarist Kerry Livgren, “Dust” settled into the Top 10 in February 1978, a few weeks after its release. Though it was a bona fide smash on the charts, it took awhile to find its audience, exceeding a million copies sold more than eleven months later in November.
