Listening now on the replay for those of us in the west that don't suffer from insomnia. "Ariel's" religion isn't mentioned, but her name is!

Interesting to hear the Elvis story from a show that aired a week and a half before he permanently 'left the building'. I think those two shows that the British fan club flew over to see in June '77, in Cincy and Indy, were the last two live shows Elvis did.

I think those two shows that the British fan club flew over to see in June '77, in Cincy and Indy, were the last two live shows Elvis did. I was just thinking that. Also, "Way Down" had actually fallen out of the Top 40 for the week of his death, then got a bounce back to 18 a few weeks after he passed. In the alternate universe where Elvis dies on August 16, 2022 at age 87, and the chart criteria and an entire environment around music listening exists that was unheard of 45 years ago, the Top 40 would likely be full of Elvis songs by the end of August.

If anyone is wondering whether Casey and the staff were in error saying that "Best Of My Love" was The Emotions' second top 40 single, they were not. In July 1969 the group, then on Volt Records, spent a single week at #39 with a record titled "So I Can Love You".

I found it so interesting that "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and "Best of My Love" battled out #1 from late July to late September 1977. IJWTBYE was 7-30, 8-6, and 8-13. Then BOML took the reins from 8-20 thru 9-10-77, then IJWTBYE returned to #1 on 9-17-77, then BOML returns to #1 9-24-77.

It's a very notable piece of Elvis trivia that Elvis's last concert was, indeed, here in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the old Market Square Arena (where the Indiana Pacers used to play). After the Pacers got a new venue built, Market Square Arena was inploded. (I believe in 2001.)

And in some local markets, like mine, both songs were long gone from local stations' playlists by late September.

Great point, and the next week "Star Wars" jumps from #8 to #1 after the 9 weeks of the Emotions and Andy Gibb trading #1 weeks.
