A 12-3 move for "Wildfire" a week after a 12-2 move for "Love Will Keep Us Together". But while the latter spent 4 weeks at #1, the former stalled right there. Ah the unpredictability of the charts!
The 1977 show marks the end of a feature that started nearly a year earlier. That is Casey including the chart date in the outro of the #1 song. This started on the 8/14/76 show. Since it is hard to hear what is going on with the theme music underneath Larry Morgan's talking, it may hard to decipher what is going on there. The reason Casey did it that way was it allowed him just enough time to do the show closing before the Shuckatoom theme kicked in. I liken it to most instrumentals where he talks over the beginning but stops at the point it kicks into the main part of the song. Starting on the 6/25/77 show, he goes back to mentioning the show date as part of the closing, letting the Shuckatoom theme kick in before he finishes.
And what does this show have in common with the 7/31/71, 3/18/72, 9/14/74, 10/26/74, 2/15/75, 5/24/75, 10/16/76, 7/19/86 and 8/1/87 shows? These would be the 10 shows which feature a legendary artist/personality at #1 for the only week in their careers(Spinners not Dionne Warwick on 10/26/74). This is for the classic era of AT40.

One of those 10 doesn't belong in that group, IMHO. |

I know which one you are referring to, the only 'personality' of the 10. Let's open this up and see what everyone's opinion is of what those 10 shows should be.

Regarding the second hour optional extra from this week's presentation from 6/14/75:Premiere should've played "Ballad Of The Green Berets" in its entirety.

In case anyone's wondering "Whatever happened to SSgt. Sadler" segment, was located between the last two segments of Hour #2 in the original 6/14/75 at the end of #17 (Teaser) and just before #15.

WXXM Rewind 92.1 is now airing this Saturday morning the June 18, 1977 AT40: The 70's B show.
Later today I can catch the A show of AT40: The 70's for June 14, 1975 - where I can find out how Casey's and Larry Morgan's talk about Sgt. Sadler ("Ballad of the Green Berets") mix in for an OPTIONAL EXTRA.
June 18, 1977 has something Casey talks about Alice Cooper and his horror side (and mentions Cooper won't switch to a softer side even to tie in with the #37 Alice Cooper rock ballad "You and Me").

1975 is now airing on WPNC fm
snippet played The Ballad of Green Berets which was #1 in 1966 (interesting enough 2 weeks ago if I recall when AT40 aired 1981, they aired the whole song as archive), Larry Morgan at end give update on Barry Sadler, after 1975.., he passed away in 1989
note: comedy team musical never made #1, but highest was peaked #9 in 1974 and that was Earache My Heartache, by Cheech and Chong

One thing about this weeks A and B shows: 6/14/1975 features Jessi Colter with "I'm Not Lisa" and 6/18/1977 features Jessi's husband Waylon Jennings with "Luckenbach, Texas".

One thing about this weeks A and B shows: 7/14/1975 features Jessi Colter with "I'm Not Lisa" and 7/18/1977 features Jessi's husband Waylon Jennings with "Luckenbach, Texas". Wow, is it July already? Where'd Independence Day go? 🤔 |

(A Letter From Camp". |

That's cool - perhaps the message I sent them on their FB page paid off. Then again, it could be strictly coincidence. Either way, I can once again listen to their show at my leisure during the week rather than to cram three into one somewhat busy weekend. |
