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". A couple of notes. I didn't know until today but Nolan is NOT the singer on this song. Elan Lanier was the artist. Nolan sang on the rest of the album. This video was HUGE in the early MTV days. Mighty Clouds is best known as a gospel group, their lead singer died just a couple years ago.

4/3/76'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." I especially like the imitations of videos by Prince, the Cars, Bruce Springsteen, and Cyndi Lauper.

Actually, "Roll Over Beethoven" by ELO would drop to #100 from #65, then rebound back up to #42. Also: Alex Brown's "Come On (Shout)" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1985 movie "Girls Just Want To Have Fun".

"Billboard" stated that the #100 position for this record was a mistake, based on an error in their survey data. The record should have been at #65 or higher. The #42 peak would not happen until early August. Hard to believe that it did not reach the top 40 that summer. In my area, at least, it was all over the radio.

While ELO's "Roll Over Beethoven" missed Billboard's Top 40, I recall a sampling of the song was played (along with other 1973 hits) as part of a promo for Opus '73. I don't have access to its Top 100 list ... I'm curious if it was tabulated and included within the Opus '73 program. Does anyone know?

I seem to remember Casey played a bit of "Roll Over Beethoven" sometime later when ELO started having top 40 hits, or at least mentioned it.

Just for fun: If "Roll Over Beethoven" wasn't the #100 song that 6/9/1973 week, the #100 song would have been the song that entered at #99 that 6/9/1973 week called "I Don't Want To Make You Wait" by the Delfonics which peaked at #91: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MEoR7vebdA
