On the countdown from 5/27/72,"Too Late To Turn Back Now" was played as an optional extra-Larry Morgan said it peaked at # 5-That's incorrect-It peaked at # 2-It was kept from # 1 by "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers.

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is now airing this Saturday morning in the AT40: The 70's time slot the May 21, 1977 B show!
Later today I can catch the A show of AT40: The 70's A show of May 5/27/1972 (where Larry Morgan makes an error for the peak position of the OPTIONAL EXTRA of "Too Late To Turn Back Now" for proof...)

Which certainly justified the golden toilet Bill was awarded, as per Casey's story in this week's show.

In his Moody Blues story, Casey said that 3400 British pounds equaled roughly $10,000 US. Which means a pound was worth just under 3 bucks back then. When I visited London 10 years later, a pound was worth $1.50.

I certainly would have preferred if "Too Late To Turn Back Now" had hit #1 instead of that cure for insomnia that is "Lean On Me", but then again, that is merely my opinion and nothing more.

Premiere moved Aretha's "Daydreaming" from first song in hour three to last song in hour two. That doesn't happen very often.

Sounds like that 'Big Fat Woman' knocked ol' Joe off of the dance floor after only about two minutes. This show faded it pretty early.

Because prior to being a singer, Bill Withers had a job cleaning toilets. No! He installed them in commercial aircraft lavatories in the late '60s/early '70s. I assume it was at McDonnell-Douglas' commercial airliner assembly plant adjacent to the Long Beach CA airport, as he was living in SoCal at the time. From time to time I see references to him doing that work for Boeing, but he never lived in the Seattle area so those reference cannot be correct. FYI, that plant no longer exists. It was closed in 2015, nearly two decades after McD-D merged into Boeing in 1997. The last aircraft produced there was the C-17 'Globemaster 3' military transport. The last commercial aircraft produced at that plant was the Boeing 717, originally the MD-95.

Aside from Harry Chapin's "Taxi" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, I can't think of any other 6-minute single that was played in its entirety every week it appeared on Billboard's Top 40.

1972 was certainly a great year for Sammy Davis Jr-Not only did he have the biggest hit of his career with "Candy Man" but he also appeared in a memorable episode of "All In The Family":"Sammy's Visit".

I think around the time of "Bohemian Rhapsody", when AT40 was regularly incorporating some extras of interest, someone may have started to think "maybe we should consider expanding to four hours sometime?" so other countdown songs wouldn't have to be edited as much. Which of course was done two and a half years later.
