Would 3/11/1978 also be possible for the second weekend in March? 3/11/1978 aired the second weekend in March last year.

I wonder if rgmike was referring to "I Get Lifted" as one of the forgotten gems. Indeed I was. It certainly doesn't get any Oldies/Classic Hits airplay. But it is much beloved by '70s Soul/early disco aficionados. Also on my list of forgotten gems in this chart: Part of the Plan Emotion (which has a great backstory) Doctor's Orders Look in My eyes Pretty Woman Snookeroo Never Let her Go Sweet Surrender I Am Love Sad Sweet Dreamer Door of the Sun Up in a Puff But sure, radio, let's play Killer Queen and Dancing Queen 27 times a week

Any idea which stations will carry 1977 this weekend? Other stations include: WQMV airs both shows Sat 2-8 pm. WQCY (Sun 11 am) - announced. WIHG (Sun 1 pm) tends to air B shows. WVWP, which airs 2 shows each weekend, airs B shows Sun 3 pm. Times are Eastern.

I'll go with 3/4/78 over 3/10/73 & 3/9/79 for next weekend. 3/4/78 & 3/10/73 were last featured as A shows in 2014. 3/10/79 last aired in 2018. I think the next 1973 show won't be until the last weekend of March 2024 for the 3/31/1973 show to be played as an A option. Has this 3/31/1973 AT40 show not been aired for a long time more or less?

Has this 3/31/1973 AT40 show not been aired for a long time more or less? 3/31/73 was played by itself in 2012 and 2015, and not at all since. So yes, it's a good candidate for replay now.

Thanks! I was so busy I wasn't home to listen. I'm now listening WVWP.. actually started with 4:30pmish, now airing 1975.
Harry Fambrough, one of The Spinners died around Feb 2024. Sad to see him pass away with natural cause.
10 foreign acts, 8 British
snippet of Betty Everett played of You're No Good, before playing full Linda Ronstadt version.
This doesn't end with "And the legend begins.. Casey Kasem", since 1975 last aired in 2013, before Casey passed away in 2014, and later didn't update it.

There was even a great quote said by Casey to tie in with David Gates's first top 40 solo hit: "In the record business, picking the horses is a piece of cake."

"No No Song"/"Snookeroo" by Ringo Starr was one of the featured selections from this week's A show presentation from 3/1/75-Casey played "Snookeroo" which was written by Elton John & Bernie Taupin.

The “big station in Chicago” that Casey referenced when introducing “Lady” by Styx was WLS. He was unable to specifically provide the call letters because AT40 was heard at the time on WDHF-FM, a Top 40 competitor to WLS.
Credit for breaking “Lady” was also due to at least one of Chicago’s rock stations, WBBM-FM, which originally added “Lady” to their playlist in May 1973 and, after its original run, continued to play it as a ‘non-current.’
