It's a totally bogus version.
Is this the worst example of a wrong version on a Premiere show? I know about Hill Street Blues, but this one is worse, IMO. I really can't believe this one slipped through.

I really can't believe this one slipped through. This was the version that was played on the show originally. And I don't know that Premiere has made any effort in the past to edit in the correct song. They have edited false statements Casey has made but I don't think they have messed with wrong songs and such. BTW, Casey may have also put some pressure on Billboard and/or the label to massage the chart on the 11/30/74 show when he mentioned that George Harrison was at #53 and that if and when he made the top 40, it would create the scenario that happened this week. It should be noted that in a few weeks, John's "#9 Dream" entered the top 40 and legitimately secured all 4 Beatles being in the top 40 since the other 3 Beatle hits were still there. |

It's amazing to me that Casey announced Odia Coates going in and coming out and she isn't even heard on this version of the song. And this would have been the third week in a row on the show, so no one noticed it for three weeks? Wow. |

It was only on the one show that they played this odd version.

Actually you can hear Odia Coates singing backup in this odd version,you really have to listen but she's there.

I wonder if that was an alternate take of "One Man Woman,One Woman Man".

Album cut vs. single, perhaps?

Found this post from today on top40musiconcd.com from AndrewChouffi:
"The version you heard was the original 'Anka' vinyl LP version produced by Rick Hall. Rick apparently thought the composition was strong enough to be a follow-up hit to "(You're) Having My Baby" if Odia Coates were to be featured in it more prominently. Rather than remix it, he as executive producer commissioned Denny Diante & Spencer Proffer (yes, the Quiet Riot producer) to produce the single version.
AT-40 sometimes dubbed from albums for better sound quality, not realizing this wasn't the hit take. "

Just one month prior to this show -- during the November 9, 1974 program -- Casey played a different version of "Stop & Smell The Roses" by Mac Davis. Both songs were in their last week in the Top 40 when this happened and, like the Paul Anka song, no mention was made of the different sound.

I feel like I must be dreaming to contradict you of all people concerning American Top 40, but One Man Woman/One Woman Man was only in it's 3rd week in the Top 40 and was headed for the Top 10. I woke up to that song being played on WTRY on more than one frigid upstate New York January morning! |

Didn't we have this conversation in the 70s-this-week thread when this show aired in a prior year?
Edit: Yes, we did... on page 438 of said thread. |

Edit: Yes, we did... on page 438 of said thread. You know I was almost afraid to click on that link because I thought it would be another example of my ever-growing list of times I have been forgetting I already had the same conversation. Now where's my hearing aid and get off my lawn! |
