Wreck reached #1 in Cash Box and I recorded a countdown for that very reason , one of my favorite songs and music time periods. Maybe if Gordon had been 'dating' a semi-famous Euro-blonde (Britt Eklund) and put her on his record... Hearing her drown in Swedish wouldn't add anything to the record, unfortunately.

Too bad they didn't do 6/19/76. Spectacular set of songs that were in their last week on the chart. All six of them peaked in the Top 11, although at least one of them (Fool To Cry) likely only got that high due to the identity of the artist.

From one of my favorite Stones albums, "Black and Blue". That LP's masterpiece is the track "Memory Motel".

It was also one of Casey's favourite songs. 10 years ago this week a memorial service was held for him, with Kerri, Mike, and Julie Kasem present, which included a violin rendition of it. www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-27977092

The 6/28/75 show is on now on WSQL. Can't imagine that too many affiliates will opt for the '76 'B', but hopefully I'll catch one of them.
This '75 show is the chart in which "Old Days" took a 1982-esque dive from 17 to 41. The other three 'droppers', Carly's 'Attitude Dancing', EW&F's #1 'Shining Star', and Elvis' 'T-R-O-U-B-L-E', follow Chicago out the door, from 42 through 44. Not often that happens.

Bee Gees back on the 40 for the first time in exactly two and a half years, since "Alive" fell out of the 40 in the last week of 1972.

The # 1 album on 6/28/75 was "Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy" by Elton John-Three weeks earlier,it became the first album to debut in the pole position on the Billboard "Top LP's & Tape" chart-Five months later,Elton repeated that rare feat when "Rock Of The Westies" followed suit.

This weekends 1975 show will be supersized on WTOJ. It will be one of the last supersized shows for awhile. I just don't have the time to do these right now so I'm going to have to step away from them.
There is one last trick up my sleeve before the July 4th holiday. There is an upcoming show which you've heard before, but not the way you're going to hear it on WTOJ. That's going to be the last weekend on June. Stand by for details. Perhaps, one of you sleuths might be able to deduce that might be in store.

And that's airing an ‘adjustment’ to June 29, 1974, using the Top 40 from Billboard’s official Hot 100.
