Whenever the next 1975 show is, maybe they will play "I'm On Fire" as an extra in memory of Dwight Twilley, who died this week. Interesting that song and the song I know him for (1984's 'Girls') both went to #16! Maybe they can honor him in AT40 80s, if not 70s.

One of those huge drops from peak position is in this week's '74 show: Blue Swede's remake of "Never My Love" tumbles 26 'notches', to use Casey's preferred term, from 7 to 33. Quite a few of those big 'swoons' in late '74.

Oddly, Casey doesn't mention Skynyrd's rebound to their previous #8 peak with "Sweet Home Alabama". They had been out of the top 10 the previous two weeks.

I'll go with 10/28/72 over 11/3/73 & 10/28/78 for next weekend. 10/28/72 last aired in 2016. For the B show, I'll go with 10/30/76.

One of the featured songs on this week's A show presentation from 10/26/74 is "Second Avenue" by Art Garfunkel-It's definitely one of his best solo recordings-It should've been a bigger hit.

I like it a lot, but I like the original by Tim Moore a little bit more. Garfunkel 'covered' Moore's song, and both charted the same week in '74--the week ending 9/21. Artie won the 'original vs cover battle', as Moore's original peaked at #58 during the five weeks it charted. Art's cover peaked at #34 and lasted three more weeks than Moore's. Here's the original. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3dvDkfGUwY

Note that Moore's recording repeats a verse and is about a minute longer than Garfunkel's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3dvDkfGUwY Found the full-length 4-minute version of Artie's cover! AFAIK this was not played on any of the three weeks that the song appeared on AT40. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcO8z6OmIMk

Until your post I had no idea that Art's was a "re-do." It was great hearing the writer's version.

Until your post I had no idea that Art's was a "re-do." It was great hearing the writer's version. You are quite welcome. Mr. Moore was a fairly prolific singer-songwriter in the '70s, with four chart singles (the first on Dunhill in 1973, the next three on Asylum between 1974 and '77) and two chart Asylum LPs. He released three more non-charting LPs in 1977, '79, and '86, the first two on Asylum and the final one on Elektra. "Second Avenue" was his second chart single (and highest-charting), and was from his first chart LP, "Tim Moore". That album reached #119 on the top 200 LP chart at the same time that both 'Second Avenues' were on the Hot 100. I found that album some years back at a used music store, and it is quite good. What may surprise you is that Moore wrote "Rock and Roll Love Letter", which was a #28 single in the summer of 1976 for the Bay City Rollers, and a much bigger hit in the UK. The song is on his second LP, his last one to chart, 1975's "Behind the Eyes". Here's Moore's Wiki entry. Interesting connections with Steely Dan and The Rolling Stones, among others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Moore_(singer-songwriter)

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM is now playing this Saturday morning for AT40: The 70's the A show of October 26, 1974.
More on 10/26/1974: * Casey mentioned that the Hudson Brothers had a TV show without a hit song, but with the Hudson Brothers' "So You Are A Star" on the AT40 chart, Casey didn't know the Hudson Brothers now have a Saturday morning kids TV show called "The Hudson Brothers Razzle-Dazzle Show" which aired on CBS (The same TV network at the Fall 1974 time you would see on the Saturday lineup reruns of a cartoon Casey voiced Shaggy in - "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?"). * Did you like Casey singing a line from Tony Martin's "I Get Ideas"? That's something someday we may hear Homer Simpson ("The Simpsons") or Peter Griffin ("Family Guy") sing in a cartoon. This sure brings back memories of Casey working for an NBC owned radio station in Detroit that replaced a Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis radio show with an Amos 'n Andy radio episode!
