Yes, it doesn't even have the time right, as WQSR plays AT40 at 7 PM Sundays (not 8 AM as this says) and as far as I can recall has only ever played the A shows. And I don't know who this Jeff Stevens is, but WQSR has no live DJ's or shows hosted by anyone other than Casey.

Sir Elton's poignant "Empty Garden" has to be one of (if not the) saddest songs of the 80s.

Sir Elton's poignant "Empty Garden" has to be one of (if not the) saddest songs of the 80s. But it was dedicated to Beatle John Lennon nearly a year and a 1/2 after Lennon's tragic death.

I just noticed that they played the version of "One Hundred Ways" without the skip right after the bridge. Was this in the original broadcast? (As I seem to remember it was almost always with the skip).

On this weekend's A show presentation from 4/12/80,Casey mentioned that Cliff Richard reached the top forty in the 50's,60's,70's & 80's-Three other singers managed to pull that off:Neil Sedaka,Elvis Presley,& Paul Anka-Granted,Elvis' appearance was posthumous but it still counts. I can name three other artists who achieved that feat: Johnny Mathis (He barely snuck into the Top 40 in 1982 with "Friends In Love", a duet with Dionne Warwick) 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.) and finally, Ben E. King (This was probably the most notable of these seven examples in that Ben E. King was the only one to hit the Top Ten in all four decades. Casey made a big deal about this feat in late 1986 when "Stand By Me" made the Top Ten in its re-release. Of course, Ben's lead vocals on Drifters songs are counted, not just his solo hits.) The first solo artist to hit the top 40 in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s is Cher, according to Shadoe Stevens. She added the 2000s to that feat.
