Another song with "Call Me" as its title reached the top forty in early 1982-The group that recorded it was called Skyy-It joined those similarly titled songs by Chris Montez,Johnny Mathis,Aretha Franklin,Al Green & Blondie.

And at the time of this chart, there had only been two top 40 "Hold On"s: Triumph and Ian Gomm, both the previous year ('79). The third, by Kansas, would 'scrape the 40' at #40 later in '80. Then the fourth (Santana) in '82, and finally the two biggies ten years later in 1990--Wilson Phillips and En Vogue.

Ray Charles (He snuck in just in the nick of time for the '80's with "I'll Be Good To You", from December 1989. It was a collaboration with Chaka Khan and Quincy Jones.) If we are counting collaborations (and why shouldn't we?), Ray Charles also hit in the 80's as a member of USA for Africa (c'mon, let me hear ya now!).

Most recently Justin Bieber had “Hold On” in 2021. And Good Charlotte in 2003.

"Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste Of Honey was one of the featured "AT40 Archive" songs from this weekend's A show presentation from 4/12/80-It looks like the 12" version of the song was played-Did anyone else notice that?

Casey sounds like he has the cold in this weeks 1980 show. He didn't really sound himself on the 3/22/1980 show, and all of the April 1980 shows.

Charlie Van Dyke did guest host for Casey on 3/29/1980 but no mention from CVD about Casey with a cold as well. Casey was recovering from a smog infection on 9/29/1979 and Robert W. Morgan guest hosted for Casey with that illness mentioned by RWM.

Interesting LDD on the '80 show, and a non-overdone LDD song: "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". Looked up Niue both on Wiki and in my World Atlas. Definitely an isolated island--only 2,000 people live there now, vs 3,400 in '80. Has an airport, but only a twice-weekly Air New Zealand flight to/from Auckland. The island is a Kiwi possession. Between the multiple islands of the kingdom of Tonga to the west and the more populous New Zealand-controlled Cook islands to the east. Photos look very inviting. Speaking of LDD's and this week's 1980 show, Charlie Dore's "Pilot of the Airwaves" sounds like it's written from the perspective of someone requesting that or a similar dedication, and Donna Summer's "On the Radio" from someone who such a dedication was aimed at. And Casey referred to himself as one of those "pilots of the airwaves" when introducing Charlie Dore's song.
