1971 and 1988–until last week this would have been the furthest apart pair of A shows possible. So much, once again, for getting 1970 and 1988 at the same time—something that is only possible for maybe five or six weeks in July and early August.
This means that three of five July 1971 shows were played as A’s in the last two years. Last year we got 7/3, 7/31, and then no 1971 A’s until late November.

Next weekend: 7/10/1971 (A) last aired in 2015. 7/10/1976 (B) last aired in 2022. I am guessing the July 20-21, 2024 weekend could be July 21, 1973 as the A show with a B show TBD.

Since 1976 was played twice in two weeks, I think 1978 should be up next. It would make more sense to go with a 7-17-76 show, since 6-26-76 was played a little over two weeks ago. That would be a chart three weeks later.

Or maybe whoever posted that it was 7/10/76 made a mistake.

I'll go with 7/21/73 over 7/22/72 for next weekend. 7/21/73 last aired in 2011. Premiere featured 7/22/72 in 2016. I'll go with 7/22/78 for the "B" show.

When Casey teased after #39 that the next song was by a group from Philadelphia, I thought it would be the Stylistics with "Stop Look Listen". As I have stated previously, I don't look at the charts before listening to a show. I like to guess about the various teases. Anyway, I was wrong but was Casey also wrong? He made a ton of mistakes about Dawn in 1970 and 71. I thought Tony Orlando was based in New York City. "The Gypsy" is the oldest of all the #1 song from 5,10, 25 years ago hits that were played. I can see why they chose to play it. Good song, almost as good as the #1 song from 20 years ago that was played 2 weeks earlier. That one was Nat King Cole's "Too Young". Good story about Paul Williams being a hot songwriter with 4 top 20 hits in the last 8 months. But there is a songwriter responsible for 3 different #1 songs in the countdown itself and that's Carole King. "It's Too Late", its flipside "I Feel the Earth Move" and "You've Got a Friend".

Tony Orlando in 1970-71 insisted that his identity as Dawn's singer be kept hidden as they were recording for Bell Records when he was also working at a Columbia Records publishing subsidiary, and he was concerned about conflicts of interest. So Casey was just repeating the false stories that Bell put out for public consumption (including the lead singer's identity of "Frankie Spinnelli".) They became Tony Orlando and Dawn by 1972-73 when a group was put together for touring, and Orlando had evidently left Columbia or otherwise resolved his conflict of interest issues allowing his name to be used.

Excellent succinct explanation. Dawn's initial producers, Hank Medress and Dave Appell, also put together another studio group at the same time as Dawn, with the obvious name of Dusk. They had two mid-chart '71 singles, one of which ("I Hear Those Church Bells Ringing") was a moderate radio hit in my area that summer, right around the time of Dawn's "Summer Sand".

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin always goes for the A show - 7/10/1971 is on now with mono2stereo conversion by Ken Martin.
A song by Chicago and a song titled "Chicago" in the same AT40 countdown?
