4/20/74 included the Guess Who's one week only entry "Star Baby," their first AT40 hit since 1971, after which they had a bigger hit later in the year with "Clap For the Wolfman" from the same album.
OE guesses:
"Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" "I Won't Last A Day Without You" "Billy, Don't Be A Hero"

"...kissin' in your Cadillac..." I remember in the spring and summer of '74, WLS out of Chicago played "Star Baby" a LOT. If it had been as popular nationally as it was in Chicago, it surely would have gone Top 10. And I agree, it is a great lost hit.

It did get to #18 in Radio & Records (launched less than a year earlier), so it must have gotten quite a bit of airplay in many places, but evidently wasn't a great seller. "Clap For the Wolfman", by contrast, did better in Billboard (#6) than R&R (#13), of course aided by the presence of veteran DJ Wolfman Jack who by that point was a celebrity due to the Midnight Special and "American Graffiti", among other things.

Ten years ago, the 4/20/74 optional extras were:
“DON”T YOU WORRY ABOUT A THING” – Stevie Wonder “SUNDOWN” – Gordon Lightfoot “BAND ON THE RUN” – Paul McCartney and Wings
I'll go with:
“Sundown” "For The Love Of Money" "The Streak"

The first hour of the '77 show was quite a treasure trove. Thought sure they'd cut "Uptown Festival" down to nothing, but they didn't. I much prefer it to the similar "Best Disco in Town". And Facts of Life's "Sometimes" is a nice slice of country soul -- in fact it was a #1 country hit in early '76 for Bill Anderson and Mary Lou Turner.

I always liked Star Baby - it should have been a much bigger hit. Its small dent in the Top 40 sure looks like a case of peaking regionally at different times. While only hitting the Top 40 for 1 week - it was in the Hot 100 for 19 weeks. That's more weeks in the Hot 100 than Clap for the Wolfman (16), American Woman (15), These Eyes (14), No Time (14) - or any other Guess Who song.

"Star Baby" made it to #30 on Cashbox. In Chicago, it peaked at #3 on both WLS and WCFL. Like the song a lot. Big Guess Who fan and "Star Baby" is one of their best. Hits the ground running and keeps revved up from start to finish. Another song released later in 1974 is of a similar style, Bob Seger's "Get Out Of Denver". The story about the song is equally interesting. Story Behind Guess Who's Star Baby

I was fifteen around the time of the streaking craze & I remember Ray Stevens performing "The Streak" on "The Merv Griffin Show".
