The optional extras from the last airing of 10/15/77 (October 12-13, 2013): Hour #1: "Slip Slidin' Away" - Paul Simon (#81; debuted) Hour #2: "Mandy" - Barry Manilow (original AT40 extra) Hour #3: "Falling" - LeBlanc & Carr (#87; debuted) I'll go with: "Take Five" "Falling" "Slip Slidin' Away" I think "Mandy" will be put back in show. "Take Five" was left out of 2013 airing. |

Crazy--didn't break into the top 40 until 2/4/78! Similar to "I Go Crazy" (no pun intended  )... 1975's "Black Superman-Muhammad Ali" is another member of the 'entered the Hot 100 long before reaching the top 40' club, March to August, with a several-week gap in May/June. And 1982's "Tainted Love", January to May of that year. Good examples. Here's one more. “Superstar” by Murray Head & the Trinidad Singers initially spent 7 weeks on the Hot 100 in Jan/Feb 1970. The song returned to the chart in January 1971 and spent 12 weeks, climbing as high as #60. It then fell off for a couple of weeks and returned to the Hot 100 – for an eventual climb into the Top 40 – on April 10, 1971. In all, “Superstar” spent a total of 31 weeks on the Hot 100, 23 weeks *below* the Top 40 and 8 weeks on AT40. |

Did not know about it's first 7-week run in early '70. Well before the "Jesus Christ Superstar" album came out later that year. |

Four years before they hit the top 40 with "Elvira",The Oak Ridge Boys provided the harmony vocals on "Slip Slidin' Away".

Another song that took a long time to reach the top 40--in the mid-1980s, when faster chart runs became regular--was Diana Ross' "Missing You". It debuted in the Hot 100 on 12/1/84, reached #49 in January and dropped down but not off the chart, and then turned around and finally reached AT40 in its 15th chart week (3/9/85). It peaked at #10 in April, and ultimately spent 27 weeks on the Hot 100 (but only nine in the top 40).

...and another slow rising song from 1971: Free Movement's "I've Found Someone Of My Own" first charted in May of '71 for 5 weeks, reaching #91, fell out for two weeks, re-entered the 'Hot 100' in early July at it's previous peak position of 91, and stated climbing the chart slowly, finally reaching the '40' in it's 16th week overall on the 100, in September. Would peak at #5 in November and spend 26 total weeks in the 100.

Kinda glad that they did, as it was a quarter after six by the time I remembered. Otherwise, I would have missed the yet-to-be-played first hour of the 1979 show. I wonder what stations are going to play that full 1979 show? Hopefully, WPAC will, so we can listen to that one at our leisure. Do you mean this week's 10/13/1979 show? When it aired in 2016 it was 4 hours. I just checked my recording of it. |

And to repeat, KOKZ at least will play the four hour 1979 show tomorrow, starting at 9 AM Eastern.

In addition, for those with access to Sirius XM, they too give us a four hour 1979 show this week, albeit from the previous week (October 6, 1979).

I guess I was just thinking of the 10/20/1979 show, which someone predicted to be the next show from that year earlier. Anyway, your reply was helpful in another way - seeing that the last airing of the show was in 2016, I can just post a recycled commentary for it |

Listening to it now and the recording captured almost all of the last pre-countdown song ("Simply Irresistible") so considering their normal large commercial load don't expect to hear the #1 song, and #2 might even be iffy. |
