11/9/74: Falling from its #62 peak is O.C. Smith's version of Al Green's "La La Peace Song." Not recorded by Al Green as far as I know. Al Wilson ("Show and Tell") entered AT40 with the song the same week (a few weeks after co-writer Johnny Bristol's hit "Hang On In There Baby" left the countdown).

Let's start with 11/16/74. At the bottom was ONJ's #1 "I Honestly Love You." Then, the Ohio Players' "Skin Tight" falling from 78. The non-top 40 hit at the bottom is next at #98. It's George McCrae's follow-up to "Rock Your Baby" called "I Can't Leave You Alone." The song peaked right in the middle at #50 and fell from 54. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-6ypXJU7UU11/16/85: Falling from 96 is former Go-Go Jane Wiedlin (from my home state of Wisconsin) with "Blue Kiss." The song peaked at #77. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwfzWVPBvpc3 years later Jane Wiedlin would make the AT40 reaches with "Rush Hour".
