According to AT40FanToo's site, back in 1989 Roy Orbison was credited with being the 4th artist to hit the Top 40 posthumously. The others were Elvis, John Lennon and Louis Armstrong.
What about Otis Redding and Jim Croce? Was this ever corrected?

Hmmm... maybe they were speaking specifically about posthumous artists charting during the '80s (I didn't hear that particular show, so I can't confirm either way).

The story was just about artists in the 1980s. Thanks for pointing out the error, and sorry about not being clear enough!  In an unrelated matter, I've updated my regular AT40 site with scans of the AT40 20th Anniversary music cd sent out: calbean.users3.50megs.com/at40/atpics.html(page will load slow for those like me still on modems!) |

Not to worry. I just wondered if maybe the show had messed up. It's not totally unheard of. Right around that same time, Shadoe gave some chart trivia that was clearly wrong. I wrote in, and got a personal reply from Rob Durkee which I still have somewhere, thanking me for point out the mistake. (This was never mentioned on the show, though.)

I found the reply letter a few weeks ago when I was looking for my car title. Who'da thought that I'd still "know" Rob Durkee some 15 years later...  |

Which show contained the error? If you can let me know, I'll add the info to the page.
Also, if anybody has a scan or digital picture of an AT40 letter from Rob or anyone else, please let me know. If you'd like, you can send it to me for posting on my AT40 site.
