Wasn't that the lamest LDD on the 4-28-79 show? Casey did offer a little humor on asking Cheryl Ladd's husband for permission for that prom date. I'll admit I do have that 45 with the picture sleeve. The picture sleeve is more enjoyable than the record itself😊. Paul McCartney's record contract with Columbia did not disappoint, however he would drop his Wings, and the singles had to be on those crappy polystyrene Columbia 45's. He would put out 5 albums from Back To The Egg up until Giving My Regards To Broadstreet under the Columbia Label. He went back to Capitol with 1986's Press To Play.

Was it 2 years later AT40 had a LDD regarding Cheryl Ladd husband's response?

I don't know about that, but that third album by Paul McCartney which was part of that Columbia contract yielded an eventual #1 song on the 82 show-Ebony And Ivory from Tug Of War.

And BTW, Cheryl Ladd was my #1 celebrity crush at that time. So, I did not think it was a lame LDD at all! I was mad I didn't think of it!

Stan Freberg,like Steve Allen,expressed disdain towards rock & roll-He did an amusing parody of Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" in 1956. Freberg also did "Pop hates the Beatles" (to to tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel").

Listening now. Note that Casey said Dawn was "from Philadelphia". Of course none of the members were actually from there.

"The Battle Hymn Of Lt.Calley" was quite a period piece-It didn't recieve any airplay in the NY metropolitan area which is where I live.

WPIX-FM in New York City started airing "AT40" 50 years ago this week-It ran on PIX until April or May 1978-It was then picked up by WXLO aka 99X.

A few weeks ago SXM played a 1970 show with "Candida" in which the group's lead singer was referred to as "Frankie Spinelli"; due to conflict of interest concerns Tony Orlando wouldn't let himself be identified by name. Not until "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" in 1973 did Casey correctly identify the trio.

Not sure whether Casey ever IDed it as such, since it was only on AT40 for one week in November 1971 (at #39), but "What Are You Doing Sunday?" was the first Dawn single to say 'Dawn featuring Tony Orlando' on the Bell Records 45 label. One of my favorite '70s music trivia questions is 'Name an act that had three #1 singles in the '70s, each of them with the artist name listed differently on the label'. Almost no one gets it right. "Knock Three Times"--Dawn "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree"--Dawn featuring Tony Orlando "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)--Tony Orlando & Dawn

It received virtually no pop airplay, and only on some country stations. It's high Hot 100 debut (at #41) and short chart life (41-37-37-40-off) were solely due to sales.
