Weekend of 6/22-23.... 6/20/87 www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1987-0620.pdfLast played 2017 w/extras: Hour #1: "Rock Steady" - Whispers Hour #2: "Give To Live" - Sammy Hagar Hour #3: "Seven Wonders" - Fleetwood Mac Hour #4: "Can't We Try" - Dan Hill with Vonda Shepard The Hour 4 Extra in 2012 was "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House. The WFMX airing from this last weekend had Los Lobos' "La Bamba" as the Hour 4 Optional Extra. EDIT: Looking back, Crowded House drummer Peter Jones died in May 2012, so "DDIO" was played as a tribute that same year, even though Jones wasn't in the band in 1987. "DDIO" had fallen off the top 40 by 6/20/1987, which made it an odd choice in a couple regards. This week's optional extras: June 20, 1987:Hour #1: "Rock Steady" - The Whispers (#57) Hour #2: "Give To Live" - Sammy Hagar (#69; debuted) Hour #3: "Seven Wonders" - Fleetwood Mac (#52; highest debut) Hour #4: "Can't We Try" - Dan Hill with Vonda Shepard (#72) If the 2012 broadcast had "Don't Dream It's Over" as the fourth hour optional extra, and the 2017 broadcast had "Can't We Try" in that slot (which is what we're getting again this coming weekend), where did the version with "La Bamba" come from?

Dear "Buffalo Bill," you keep on hoping, sometime it will be the Bills or Sabres year. And it's gonna be great. Meanwhile, thanks for the wings.

On this week's countdown from 6/20/87,Casey read a QL (Question Letter) from a listener who wanted to know if any song that reached the top 10 recharted & reached the top 10 for a second time-The answers were "The Twist"-Chubby Checker (1960) & (1962),"The Monster Mash"-Bobby "Boris" Pickett (1962) & (1973),& "Stand By Me"-Ben E.King (1961) & (1986)-Since this show aired,one other song has accomplished that rare feat: "Bohemian Rhapsody"-Queen (1976) & (1992).

Of course, these are due to chart rule revisions, but in total I think we need to add: Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You (#1 in 1992 and #3 in 2012) Prince & The Revolution – Purple Rain (#2 in 1984 and #4 in 2016) Prince – When Doves Cry (#1 in 1984 and #8 in 2016) Did I miss any others?

Also "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)" in 1976 and 1994. Same vocals in both but the '94 version was a remix. Billboard credited it as the same song.

On this week's countdown from 6/20/87,Casey read a QL (Question Letter) from a listener who wanted to know what singer or singers had hits with the most duet partners-The answer was Barbra Streisand & Kenny Rogers-They each had three-In the case of Kenny Rogers,wouldn't Dottie West be his fourth duet partner?-They teamed up for "What Are We Doin' In Love" in the spring of 1981.

I sure think it should count, as that song is a true duet. But for whatever reason, probably label-related, Kenny is not credited on that song.

Dear "Buffalo Bill," you keep on hoping, sometime it will be the Bills or Sabres year. And it's gonna be great. Meanwhile, thanks for the wings. This is at least the second LDD I can recall from a Buffalo resident singing the city's praises. When Gary Owens guest hosted in September 1981, there was another dedication letter from someone who urged people to stop making Buffalo the butt of jokes on everything from snow to its economy; Aretha Franklin's "Respect" was the requested song. And in the department of Casey comments that haven't aged well, I don't think Prince Andrew (and the long-since divorced Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson) taking a copy of Chris DeBurgh's "The Lady In Red" on their honeymoon is a great positive point now.

AT40: The 80's 6/20/1987 - This was the show that was the last one carried on WLS AM 890 Chicago at the June 1987 time, the next week AT40 would move to WYTZ Z-95 FM Chicago where it will remain (even with the Shadoe Stevens August 1988 AT40 takeover) until October 1991.
6/20/1987 even has the debut at #36 of the infamous "I Want Your Sex" by George Michael.

Regarding "I Want Your Sex",there were several weeks where Casey didn't mention the title-However,he did mention it on this week's presentation from 6/20/87.
