4/3/75's BOTC may have been already mentioned on page 7 ("Spirit Of The Night" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band), but I decided to go to the #99 song on the list. There, we find a soul group from L.A. named Mighty Clouds Of Joy with their song called "Mighty High." It fell from its #69 peak. 3/30/85: Falling from #94 after peaking at #57 is a singer named Nolan Thomas and "Yo Little Brother." You mean 4/3/1976 for the #99 Mighty Clouds of Joy song "Mighty High" and "Spirit in the Night".

My local Top 40 station played Yo Little Brother a lot at the time, so I remember it much better than most people. A fun song.

I'm very familiar with it too. It was played heavily in Miami. I never saw the video though, until now.

I never understood how in 1981, "Can You Feel It" by the Jackson 5 only peaked at #77. I really love this song, and so did ABC, because for awhile, it was used by that network.

Regarding the Melissa Manchester song of "Through the Eyes of Love" though it never made the top 40 reaches: Has this ever attempted to be a Long Distance Dedication song on AT40?
