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 Casey mentioned that Barry Sadler post "Ballad of the Green Berets" took up show business, then a life insurance broker, then a security chief, and then a book writer. In 1975 Barry Sadler released a single called "Bless Them All" that flopped. |

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". And Casey mentions in the 1977 show that Jessi had a hit 2 years earlier. This is one of those rare occasions where a Casey comment ties in the A and B shows of the week. |

The second presentation being offered this weekend is from 6/18/77-I had just graduated from high school & those songs certainly bring back a boatload of memories.

Not on the station I heard yesterday. Maybe in the supersized WTOJ version? |

That was JUST on WTOJ part of the Supersizing of the show.. All others just played a piece of the song like Casey did in the original show from 1975. Of course, the Larry part talking about what happened to Sadler at the end was new. The "What Ever Happened To..." segments are kinda outdated and in need of updates. |

Too bad you couldn't have squeezed in the 1977 show, too, Ken. THAT show, if any, would have been a good candidate for supersizing. The Addrisi Brothers song was under 2 minutes, for example.

Listening to the 1975 show and I wondered: is the phrase "Sex-O-Lettes" any more or less offensive than "I Want Your Sex" 12 years later? Casey had no problem saying the name of Disc-O-Texx's group multiple times.

I'd forgotten this was one of those weeks in '75 when Elton was moving back *UP* the chart after having fallen as low as #15. As I recall, it was because word got out that his new LP, which had just come out, did not include "Phila. Freedom", so folks rushed out to buy the 45.

"Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy" has the distinction of being the first album to debut at # 1 on the Billboard 200.

I listened to WVWP fm for Jun 18 1977 opt xtras only. And last opt xtra finally played The Emotions - Best of My Love, and mentions The Emotions would be second longest #1 of 1977, behind Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life. I hope im right on it....

Andy Gibb spent four weeks at #1 with "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." It was #1 on 7-30, 8-6, 8-13, and returned on 9-17 (all 77). At that time it was the longest song in the same chart run to return to #1, that being 4 weeks.
