"Lean On Me" by Bill Withers was the # 1 song 50 years ago this week-I prefer Bill's version over that lousy remake by Club Nouveau which also topped the chart fifteen years later.

1978 was the B show last week. 1977 should be next week's show since it hasn't been the A show in 3 months. July 14, 1979 could be the B show. You could see July 23, 1977, July 27, 1974 & July 28, 1979 as the A shows to finish up the month of July. You're right. "B" show is 7/14/79.

It is one of those rare songs where the original version and the remake both made it to #1. Others are Venus, Go Away Little Girl, You Keep Me Hanging On, Please Mr. Postman and the Loco Motion. Did I miss any?

That sets up nicely for the final mono2stereo conversion of a regular AT40 show (hosted by Casey) from 1972 - Sept. 16 which has aired only once back in 2007. That should happen in September, pencil it in.

mike1985 and I both noticed/heard on the radio on Saturday that KKLZ in Las Vegas is moving AT 40 80's to Sunday mornings. It's been a Saturday institution for a long time. With that station changing its slogan to eliminate 70s - it appears Sunday that AT40 70s may be going away on KKLZ on Sundays.

FOR THE 3RD WEEK IN A ROW, WVLI KANKAKEE IS PLAYING IN THE AT40: THE 70'S SATURDAY AFTERNOON TIME SLOT THE 6/14/1975 SHOW! I SENT AN EMAIL AND FACEBOOK MESSAGE TO WVLI ABOUT THIS SITUATION THAT EITHER THEY FIX IT ASAP OR BY NEXT WEEK OR ELSE DROP BOTH AT40: THE 70's/80's SHOWS FOR GOOD!!! Yeah. That'll show 'em. Fingers crossed for AT40 70's/80's results later today via WVLI Kankakee...

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is now airing the AT40: The 70's B show of July 14, 1979 starting with hour #2 with the #33 song of a rare Summertime 1979 song - "Weekend" by Wet Willie. Let's hope later today WVLI Kankakee plays the AT40: The 70's A show of 7/8/1972 if it doesn't repeat for the 4th. week in a row 6/14/1975!

Rick in Omaha Usually the A's as far as I know, but I haven't listened to them enough to be sure they always do. (They chose 1972.)
