I noticed that "Uneasy Rider" by the Charlie Daniels Band was on the countdown from 7/28/73-I'm sure Premiere will make a couple of deletions.

*Don Covay’s “I Was Checkin’ Out, She Was Checkin’ In” Huh. That's the most left field extra I've noticed in a while. Why would it be left field if it would go on to hit the Top 40? |

8/1/70 last aired as an 'A' show the weekend of August 6-7,2011, and as a 'B' show the weekend of August 2-3, 2014. All three op extras were also original extras for both those airings: "I'm Walkin'" - Fats Domino "Can't Buy Me Love" - The Beatles "Gentle On My Mind" - Glen Campbell (Note that "Alley Oop" by The Hollywood Argyles remained in the original show) Not sure if they'll do the same this time or mix in a song that wasn't originally part of the show. |

Huh. That's the most left field extra I've noticed in a while. Why would it be left field if it would go on to hit the Top 40? Just that usually they pick songs that placed higher on the chart and get more frequent oldies airplay. Cool song though. |

He announced his resignation on the 8th and actually stepped down the next day. Thus granting the wish of the song at #36 in next week's B show, which I somehow can especially relate to nowadays... |

Here's a chart oddity that I don't recall being mentioned here before.
There have been many examples over the years where a Top 40 solo artist made a name for himself or herself initially as a member of a group. John Fogerty and Linda Ronstadt are a couple of examples.
But along comes Foster Sylvers (with “Misdemeanor” on the July 28, 1973 chart) who turned that around. He was first established as a Top 40 solo act, and then continued his fame as a member of The Sylvers -- and never reached the Top 40 again as a solo artist.
Are there any other similar examples?

On the country chart Peteski Gail Davies had lots of solo top 40s through 1985 before reaching the top 40 as a member of Wild Choir in 1986. She would never get there again solo.

The 2014 airing had a change in the optional extras: Next weeks 70s shows: "A" show: 7/28/1979 "B" show: 8/1/1970 (aired back in 2011) Optional extras for the 1970 show are as follows Hour #1: "I'm Walkin'" - Fats Domino Hour #2: "Big Girls Don't Cry" - The Four Seasons Hour #3: "Alley-Oop" - The Hollywood Argyles The other two extras - The Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" and Glen Campbell's "Gentle On My Mind" - remain in the broadcast. It did have a song (Big Girls Don't Cry) that wasn't originally part of the show mixed into it. |

Tough one. I can only think of a couple of vaguely similar cases, Joe Walsh (solo hit "Rocky Mountain Way" in 1973, then joined the Eagles, but also had a few more solo hits) or Bill Champlin (had success on his own as a co-writer of Earth Wind & Fire's "After the Love Has Gone" and singer on Lee Ritenour's "Is It You?," then joined Chicago). |
