Janis Ian is among the Top 40 for August 2, 1975 with "At Seventeen." Two years earlier, she was, according to AT40's "Disappearing Acts" special, a one-hit wonder.

And from what I have heard (in fact it might have been at40petebattastini who said this) she was going to be on the 1975 "Disappearing Acts" special until the AT40 staff found out that "Between The Lines" was about to be released.

Anyone here from Iowa? I am back after riding the 51st edition of RAGBRAI last week, a bicycle ride across Iowa that nearly 20,000 participated in and that's a normal amount of riders. Heard last week's 80s show before I left. Hearing the 70s show now and Casey started it off with a mistake when he said that after hitting #1 with the Beatles 20 times, his other 3 were as Paul McCartney & Wings. Not true, one of those 3 was as Paul & Linda McCartney. Made another mistake a bit later when he said that Johnny Bristol was from Morgantown, NC. It's Morganton. Did not go through that town this time though I do frequently. Did go through Bristol though which is in both Virginia and Tennessee, like Kansas City being in Missouri and Kansas. Surprised by this show's selection. There is only one Casey hosted regular show between this and the last A show from that year.

I just got back from Morganton yesterday. My parents were both from there, lots of family still live there, I visit several times a year… lastly, we just had our 87th family reunion there this past weekend. Johnny Bristol had a single called “Morganton, North Carolina”
Johnny is the male voice you hear on "Someday We’ll be Together”

I'll go with 8/14/76 over 8/7/71 & 8/14/71 for next weekend. 8/14/76 & 8/7/71 last aired as an "A" show in 2017. 8/14/71 only appearance was 2018. 8/14/76 was a "B" show in 2019. 1976 was last the "A" show in May. Every other year except 1970 has been featured since.

Every other year except 1970 has been featured since. So we may have to wait until the third or fourth weekend of August 2024 for the first AT40: The 70's 1970 show (as an A mostly) of 2024? My guess is 8/22/1970.
