10/10/87: Reverse jinx on a certain former Miss America (who had yet to start her music career at the time) when Casey answered a question on the last name shared by the most #1 song solo acts. The answer was Williams with 5: Tex, Andy, Roger, Maurice and Deniece. Vanessa would join them four and a half years later.

10/28/78: "Barry Manilow moves from 25 to 15 on his way to the top 10 with 'Ready To Take a Chance Again'". It peaked at #11.

10/20/84: No jinx for Daryl Hall and John Oates when Casey says "Out Of Touch" could put them in 1st place for most #1 songs of the 1980's. Seven weeks later it achieved pole position.
....Or maybe it was a jinx after all since they would never have another #1 song.

Also for AT40: The 80's 10/20/1984: Casey mentioned there has never been a quartet of 4 different singers and played a piece of the only quartet to make Billboard's Hot 100: "Pops, We Love You" by Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye which reached #59 in 1979; however - a year later in 1985 we finally got a quartet of 4 singers with "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Gladys Knight (credited as Dionne and Friends) and that made the top 40 going all the way to #1.
And 2 jinxes I didn't mention for 10/10/1987: 1) For Alexander 'O Neal, Casey mentioned Alexander's "Fake" was his first solo hit, but he didn't have a follow up solo and had one more top 40 entry with Cherrelle in 1988 with "Never Knew Love Like This" (although Alexander's 'O Neal 1991 solo hit "All True Man" didn't reach Shadoe Stevens AT40 territory but made top 40 reaches on R&R CHR used for Casey's Top 40 and Rick Dees) 2) Casey mentioned that another last name Williams singer named Lenny Williams (performing on Kenny G's "Don't Make Me Wait For Love") would make #1 to join the 5 other singers with the last name of Williams who made #1, but that song didn't.

Reverse jinx also on 10/20/84 Casey mentioned Lionel Richie would like to write songs with some big name superstars. The following Spring "We Are The World" written by Richie and Michael Jackson went to #1.

On 10/20/84, Casey talks about the possibility of Stevie Wonder someday surpassing Elvis with the most #1's for a solo male. Stevie would never come close to doing this.

10/30/76: The Captain & Tennille "may have another #1" in "Muskrat Love", which moved up form #18 to #9. Instead it got stuck at a peak of #4 for five weeks. (It did hit #1 in Radio & Records, though.)
Of the Bee Gees' "Love So Right", "This is acting so much like a #1 song you can almost predict it". Well, almost, as it stalled at #3 for four weeks. Of course the Brothers Gibb would have plenty more songs over the next three years that would bear out that prediction...
And a third strike: Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" moved from #15 to #4, and Casey said "That'll be vying for #1 honors next week". Instead Steve Miller and then Rod Stewart took that honour, and Gordon peaked at #2 in November behind Rod. (Casey correctly predicted Miller's "Rock'n Me" as another contender for #1 the following week, as it jumped from #10 to #3.)

On the 10/30/82 show Casey said Santana was taking their own advise Holding On to #15. The next week Carlos and the guys would make a spectacular fall, all the way down to #73.

On the 11-5-77 show,Casey said that Chicago was pretty much a faceless band, no pictures on any of their album covers or special effects in live shows. That would change with their next album Hot Streets minus Terry Kath, who would die of a gun shot accident just under a few months later. It found it a bit eerie when Casey was talking about Ronnie Van Zandt of Lynyrd Skynyrd on the tribute segment. Each of those men had young daughters that they never had a chance to see grow up. Very sad.

I just can't picture Peter Cetera as Gene Simmons or Danny Seraphine as Peter Criss. I think fire shooting out of a trombone would have been cool😁😁😁

Chicago did TV specials in the 70's when Kath was with them.
