1982 would be the first year since 1971 that there was no special the first week of July, as it never was completed. 1984 and 1985 wouldn't have any specials, either.

I think Queen hit rock bottom (pun intended) with "Body Language." It's Exhibit A for what killed their career in the US. “Body Language” also had a pretty racy (at least for its time) video that was banned I believe by MTV. I respectfully disagree that was what killed their career. They would have one more Top 40 hit with 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga” which would peak at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. It would be the next single “I Want To Break Free” (it wouldn’t even break the Top 40) that I believe killed Queen’s success in the US, despite putting out great music until Freddie Mercury died 7 years later. The “I Want To Break Free” music video had the band in drag, pretty harmless stuff but it was banned by MTV and I sure there was a lot of homophobia, especially since it was rumoured that Freddie was gay. The video is actually pretty funny. That’s when I believe their career died in the US. Shame too. They released some good music after “The Works” album and “I Want To Break Free”. They would release three more albums before Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. Sad that American audiences wouldn’t look past Freddie’s sexuality and radio and MTV just stopped playing their music. Any other stations airing the 1988 show? (Please).

I believe that WFRO will air the 1988 show on Sunday 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

I'm thinking the #1 album would have been between Rumours and Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack.

This is despite the fact that the 6/12/82 show announced a ranking of the 40 best albums in rock history. I'm thinking the #1 album would have been between Rumours and Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. And it's too bad Ken Martin can't work on this never made what might have been 1982 AT40 Top 40 Best Albums of the Rock Era Special using Casey bits like Ken did for the #80-41 1971 year end countdown part and #100-#51 1979 year end countdown part. But #80-#41 of the 1973 year end countdown may be waiting in the wings. Actually, a year later in 1983 and into 1984 for best albums in rock history the all time album in history at that 1983-1984 time - "Thriller" by Michael Jackson - would surpass "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac and the "Saturday Night Fever" Soundtrack.

On this week's A show presentation from 6/12/82,Casey did a profile on record producer Chips Moman-Chips passed away seven years ago this month at the age of 79. I always liked the songs Chips Moman produced, particularly the country stuff he did in the 70's. Another 70's producer whose work I like is Snuff Garrett. He did a bunch of country stuff in the 70's as well as Cher's 70's hits and Vicki Lawrence's "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia".

Cher was initially offered "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" but Sonny turned it down.

It was Snuff Garrett with help from Leon Russell that led to a number of hits for Gary Lewis & The Playboys and Brian Hyland's hit The Joker Went Wild. Garrett produced Lizzy & The Rainman for Tanya Tucker. That song was co-written by Kenny O'Dell the writer of Behind Closed Doors and a pop hit in the 60's Next Plane To London. The other co-writer was Larry Henley the lead singer of the Newbeats (Bread And Butter). Henley went on to write a song called Wind Beneath My Wings which was recorded by a number of artists including Lou Rawls,Gary Morris and Bette Midler. Hal Blaine played drums on Lizzy On The Rainman.
