This is not the answer but Ray Parker Jr. mentioned previous top 40 song titles in 2 songs.....In A Woman Needs Love, he mentions Jack & Jill and in Bad Boy, he mentions The Other Woman. BB is a sequel of sorts to TOW.

His first solo hit, "Missing You" started off with the line "Every time I think of you", which was the title of one of his songs with the Babys, which charted in 1979. |

BB is a sequel of sorts to TOW. Good catches! And here is a hint that might help someone with this question. The title of the first hit is also the last line the singer sings in that hit. So - on two Top 20 hits in a row, the same singer sings the same words at the end of the first hit, and the beginning of the next hit. And - these hits were five years apart. |

You were typing your answer while I was typing my response to the previous post. |

Ok...along that same lines, here's an "easy" one (I think so anyway).
What early 70s #1 smash by this group mentions SEVERAL of this group's other charted songs THROUGHOUT the song?

That song should be on the XM countdown. Saying that because an earlier #1 song, I Want You Back was in it. Got my interested piqued so I want hear it to see what you referring to.

Casey just mentioned in the show that there were 13 #1 songs in the 70s that were remakes. Only one made the top 50 of the 70s. Which one was it?

I could have sworn that made the Top 50. Anyway, I believe the correct answer is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross (1970), which was a hit a few years earlier for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. |

Ding!.....Love Will keep Us Together would have also been accepted. Although Casey officially stated in the top 50 of the 70s show that there was only 1 remake, LWKUT was a non'-released song by Neil Sedaka before the Captain & Tennille did it. But apparently he was referring to remakes of singles. |
