No! That's awesome! I might be one of the few Kevin Paige fans in the world in 2018 outside of Memphis. He has been a fixture on the Beale Street scene for decades, and is currently the director of music at the Catholic Church of the Incarnation in Memphis. His self titled debut album will always be one of my favorites. The other month, I was listening to the last track from it and decided to Shazam it thinking I might have finally found a song that no other person in the world would have "shazamed". I was close: I was number 2! Nowadays Kevin Paige is a born again Christian of religious/gospel music? I don't know if he is born again...he seems to have always been into secular as well as religious music. He was/is prominent in the Memphis secular music scene, but has also been connected to religious music as well. He was the music leader for a big non denominational church in Memphis for years before going to Incarnation. I think he even released an album some time back that contained religious as well as secular songs. On another note, he played some keyboards and organ on Sister Hazel's breakthrough album, "...Somewhere More Familiar".

I was close: I was number 2! What do you mean by Shazam? Shazam is an app for your mobile device that will hear a song and tell you who sings it. It's great for when you're out, in restaurants, or those years that Ryan never told you who was singing the song on AT 40 For example: Avicii's "Wake Me Up" has been shazamed over 23 million times. That means 23 million people have heard the song, liked it enough to want to know who sang it, and used the app to find out. In contrast, "Black and White" by Kevin Paige was shazamed twice when I did it, with me being the second. Update: I just shazamed "Black and White" again, and it is up to 22 shazams!

A factual update on Aerosmith..."What It Takes" was not their final Hot 100 top ten. "Jaded" peaked at number 7 in 2001.
Other than that nitpick I love reading this! I started closely following the charts in January of 1990 and every one of these songs, even the ones I was never that crazy about back then, is like an old friend now.

To Hervard: 1) Rod Stewart's original 1976 "This Old Heart of Mine" was a solo effort, not a duet with Ron Isley; 2) When you get to September-October 1990: Will the 2 versions of the Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody - the original reissue that entered AT40 in September 1990 and the new recorded version that entered AT40 in October 1990 - be seperate entries and critiques?

Just amended that mistake as well. Also, I'll probably refer to each of version of "Unchained Melody" as separate entries and comments. My critique is now half done, as I'm now up to the halfway point of 1990!

Hervard: 1) Regarding "I Thought It Was Me" by Bell Biv Devoe for November 1990: The group would have one more AT40 song in late 1992. 2) When you get to 1991-1995 for Shadoe AT40 debut critiques, will you include the "Sneak Peak" songs that never made the Shadoe AT40 chart or could they be a seperate thread?

Wups - I had forgotten that "Gangsta" had made the AT40 chart (that was probably because I no longer had access to that show at that point) 2) When you get to 1991-1995 for Shadoe AT40 debut critiques, will you include the "Sneak Peak" songs that never made the Shadoe AT40 chart or could they be a seperate thread? Probably not, as I'm not familiar with most of the ones that did not chart. I'll let you take care of that one!

For your #2 answer, maybe not for Shadoe AT40 Sneek Peek songs not making the AT40 chart. Though at times I did BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS for AT40 guest hosts and selected shows (mostly special shows) from the Shadoe AT40 Billboard Hot 100 and Radio Monitor eras.

The list is now finished and, as we speak (well, as you read this, anyway), my critique for 1991 is underway!

Hervard: Bell Biv Devoe had one more AT40 hit in late 1992 - "Gangsta". Hope you learn this even when you do your AT40 Shadoe Stevens era 1992 post later this month or next month at least.
