For anyone listening to the March 20, 1971 program this week, three versions of the Love Story soundtrack theme are part of the AT40 countdown.
And the flashback to 53 years ago is enhanced for you if you catch the Turner Classic Movies presentation of the original Love Story, which will coincidentally air on March 20 (Wednesday), 8pm eastern.

So March 20, 1971 is this coming weekend's AT40: The 70's A show? I guess March 20, 1976 or March 27, 1976 could be the B show.

I'm not sure where Pete got his list for this weeks AT40 show saying it was 1971 but that's not correct. This weeks show at 3/20/76 and yes, it will be Supersized on Magic 103.1 / WTOJ. Sunday morning at 9 Eastern. Where did I say this week's show is from 1971? I only mentioned that the Love Story movie is on TV this week, for anyone listening to the 3/20/71 show. I believe a few individuals listen to AT40s outside of the realm of Premiere's weekend features.

I believe a few individuals listen to AT40s outside of the realm of Premiere's weekend features. Those would include Sirius XM, which last weekend played 3/13/71, which included all three versions of the Love Story theme—two instrumentals from Francis Lai and Henry Mancini, plus Andy Williams’ vocal version.

I think it was actually another poster that jumped the gun and interpreted Peteski's post as a show announcement. The main thing is we are getting a Supersized 76 which promises to be awesome!

LVK is right, another poster had misinterpreted Pete's post, and nowhere did Pete mention 1971 being a Premiere offering, nor did anyone else respond to said poster. Aforementioned poster has also misinterpreted many other posts in these parts, some of which has gotten a 🤦♂️ from me. There are many of us who appreciate your top-notch work on these shows! And now, on with the countdown...

And if there's a last minute OPTIONAL EXTRA tribute to Eric, the first OPTIONAL EXTRA will be replaced with Eric's "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again".

The three debuts that lead off the show are all 'underachievers'. The best chart rank any of the three achieved was JD at #29. And despite his huge '74-'75 chart success, he would never make the top 30 again.

Same for Eddie Kendricks not making the top 30 as a solo artist. By the way, that was the last time Casey referred to Elvis having 17 #1 hits. Going forward because AT40 changed the pre-Hot 100 chart they used for reference, he was only given credit for 14 #1 hits.
