Again this week, Raliegh's WKIX did not post Premiere cue sheets. Yeah they seem to be slacking on that the last couple weeks. If you use the original show cue sheets (posted on the Charis Music Group site), the commercial breaks for the current Premiere airings are always every other segment break on the old cue sheets (with the exception of the 1970 and 71 shows...those are a little tougher to figure out). The exception is the final hour--there is a little more guess work as to where the commercials on the current airings will fall since they insert an additional break...

Thank god they edited that creepy intro out of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". Hearing Michael Jackson coo "I just want to hold you" gives me the heeby jeebies. What was meant to be sensual I think just came off creepy. I think Prince could've pulled it off, not Michael Jackson but that's just me. IIRC, when this song was first released, the commercially released single and album both had the intro, but promotional singles existed that had the song both with and without the intro. AT40 probably got the version they played off one of those promotional singles. At some point after the song was released, Jackson decided that he liked the "no intro" version better than the "creepy intro" version (or it at least became apparent that radio programmers and fans felt that way). Sometime in 1988, the "no intro" version was quietly slipped into albums in place of the "creepy intro" version. I don't think the "creepy intro" version has been widely available since then, at least in the U.S.

What was meant to be sensual I think just came off creepy. I think Prince could've pulled it off, not Michael Jackson but that's just me. Amen to that...that song IMHO is one of the worst #1 songs ever (as evidenced by the complete and total lack of any recurrent airplay that it has ever received). Michael's cringe-worthy speaking parts have a lot to do with that. It's especially creepy in light of all the child sex allegations over the last 15+ years of his life. The only reason it made #1 was because it was the song that brought about the long awaited return of Jacko after 3-1/2 years--I'm thinking that whatever song MJ released as the lead off single from the Bad album would have gone to #1.

Before these little nuggets from five days ago fade into memory, please allow me to comment (also known as adding my two cents )... Some people predicted it would be this week's show, but a question Casey answered in the 10/15/83 show was way off the mark. Someone asked about male artists having hit the top 40 as solo artists, in a duo and in a trio. Answer was Paul Anka. While that is correct, off the top of my head I can think of 4 artists who also did that. Simon and Garfunkel obviously hit together as a duo and as solo artists. They also were part of a trio with James Taylor in 1978 with "What a Wonderful World". Graham Nash hit as a solo artist, in a duo with David Crosby and as part of Crosby, Stills and Nash. A less obvious one is Paul McCartney who hit as a solo artist, in a few different duos and at one point Wings was just 3 people. What surprises me is that apparently no one ever sent in a correction because I don't see one in Pete's book. Errrm, make that 5 artists (as of 10/15/83)! The third artist on "(What A) Wonderful World", James Taylor, himself hit the Top 40 with several solo songs, as well as with three different duets (two with wife Carly Simon and one with J. D. Souther)!... Here are some examples of guys who accomplished the solo, duet, trio "hat trick" after that 1983 question letter was answered... Phil Collins has hit the Top 40 several times solo and as part of the three-member version of Genesis, as well as with two different duets ("Easy Lover" with Philip Bailey in 1985 -- though we've discussed here in the past whether Phil Collins has official label credit on that single! -- and "Separate Lives" with Marilyn Martin, also in 1985). Incidentally, having had six #1 solo hits as well as one #1 hit with Genesis ("Invisible Touch", 1986), Phil Collins has hit #1 solo, in a duet, and in a trio!... In 1984, another relatively-rare collaboration between three established solo artists, "What About Me?", would reach #15, credited to "Kenny Rogers with Kim Carnes and James Ingram" -- Kenny Rogers has also hit the Top 40 several times solo, and with four different duets (including one with Kim Carnes!); James Ingram has also hit the Top 40 with three different duets (though some pressings of "Baby Come To Me" are credited solely to Patti Austin), and finally scored a true solo Top 40 hit with "I Don't Have The Heart" in 1990 (he'd been the only vocalist on two Top 40 singles in 1981 officially credited to producer Quincy Jones)... (Incidentally, Kim Carnes also hit the Top 40 solo and in a duet, in addition to being part of the "What About Me?" trio, but being female, she's not a valid answer to the question letter in the 10/15/83 show...) Finally, because it's cropped up on this forum from time to time, I may as well point out that Graham Nash has also made the Top 40 as part of a quartet (Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young) and as part of a quintet (The Hollies)... Correct. And since Wings on several albums was a quintet, Paul charted solo, duo, trio, quartet (two different ones, obviously), and quintet! Forgive my nitpicking, but it looks like no song by four-member Wings made the Top 40 -- unless I'm missing something, the "Wild Life" album had no singles released in the U.S., and their first three ("non-album") Top 40 hits were apparently recorded after Henry McCullough joined Paul, Linda, and the two Dennys... However, it looks like Sir Paul hit the Top 40 three different ways as part of a quintet -- in addition to five-member Wings, "Get Back" was credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston", and the very early "My Bonnie" (recorded in 1961, before Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best; released in the U.S. in 1964, peaking at #26) was credited (in the U.S.) as "The Beatles with Tony Sheridan"!... One final note -- Paul McCartney made not only the Top 40, but the Top Five solo and in a duo, trio, quartet, and quintet (and could have claimed #1 in all five configurations had the solo version of "Coming Up" been credited as the chart-topper!)...
