The 10/28/72 show originally aired 10 days prior to the U.S. Presidential Election of 1972 which, for the first time, afforded the right to vote to citizens aged 18-20. And radio station WCFL, AT40’s Chicago affiliate at the time, used voter registration messages during the countdown – from Moog musician Bernie Krause and Arlo Guthrie (singing the “Voter Registration Rag”) – that encouraged voting age listeners to register. Too bad Arlo's "Voter Registration Rag" never got to be released as a single - even following up Arlo's "City of New Orleans".

The biggest acapella song to reach the top forty was "Don't Worry,Be Happy" by Bobby Mc Ferrin which went to # 1 in 1988. This is a fact, but for me this song belongs in a thread "Songs I Never Want to Ever Hear Again."

This is a fact, but for me this song belongs in a thread "Songs I Never Want to Ever Hear Again." Lucky for you this song just misses being played on Premiere's AT40s (unless as an optional extra), having debuted on 8/13/88. Close behind it, and mentioned in Larry's intro to "After the Goldrush", was Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" from 1991, which hit #5 on AT40--and #1 on CT40.

11/4/78 not played since 2016 has to be the lock of all locks next week, right? Some reasons why I agree with that: The only year between 1971 and 1979 that has not been featured as the "A" show at least 4 times is 1978. The last time 1978 was featured as the A show was in the springtime. It will be 21 weeks on 11/4/23. 11/17/73 is a better option than 11/3/73 since it has not aired since 2008.

Optional extras for the week:
A: October 28, 1972:
Hour #1: "Ventura Highway" - America (#42) Hour #2: "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)" - Jim Croce (#46) Hour #3: "Clair" - Gilbert O'Sullivan (#86; debuted)
B: October 27, 1979:
Hour #1: "All My Love" - Led Zeppelin (NR) Hour #2: "Saturday Night" - The Bay City Rollers (original archive extra) Hour #3: "Do That To Me One More Time" - Captain & Tennille (#66) Hour #4: "Cruisin'" - Smokey Robinson (#58)
The two other Archives extras ("Let's Do It Again" and "Convoy") stay in place. As mentioned, "All My Love" didn't make the Hot 100 as it wasn't commercially issued as a 45 ("Fool In the Rain", also from that week's #1 album "In Through the Out Door", was and reached #21), but it got a lot of play at top 40 as well as AOR, hitting #10 on Radio & Records' pop chart, and remains popular at classic rock.

I have to say hearing Casey sing during the October 26, 1974 was pretty funny to me.

With a running time of 7:24, it appears that Cashman & West’s “American City Suite” may be 1972’s single with the longest play. Derek & The Dominos’ “Layla”, re-released as a 45 in 1972, clocked in at just over seven minutes, while Harry Chapin’s “Taxi” ran for 6:40. And note that the total running time of Don McLean’s single release of “American Pie” ran more than eight minutes, that recording required both sides of the disc.

And what Premiere played of it this week calls out for the "supersizing" treatment, if WTOJ is doing that.

Another long '72 single was one of this show's two debuts, and went to #1: My Gordy 45 of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" clocks in at 6:58. I own all of the abovementioned lengthy 45s. I was buying a lot of singles that year.
