WWIS is playing "Jeopardy" now in the hour #3 extra spot complete with a memorial tribute intro. The outro also makes mention of "I Lost on Jeopardy" as a parody by "Weird Al" Yankovic along with Greg Kihn's cameo in its music video, both from 1984.

Just a quick continuation of the QL (Question Letter) that Casey read on this past weekend's countdown from 8/20/83 in which a listener wanted to know if any male singers that had reached the top forty had children that followed in their footsteps-Thanks for remembering to include Tal Bachman & Enrique Iglesias-I happened to think of three other singers whose children also made the top forty-First is Dean Paul Martin who was the son of Dean Martin-The younger Martin was a member of the rock trio Dino Desi & Billy-Next is Jerry Lewis-Although he was primarily remembered as a comedian,Lewis took a shot at a recording career & did fairly well-His lone top forty hit "Rock A Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody" reached the top ten in 1956. Nine years later,Jerry's son Gary launched a recording career,as well with his band The Playboys-They had a string of hits during the mid to late 60's-Finally,there's Harvey Kaplan,who was a member of the group The Spiral Starecase-Their lone top forty hit was the # 12 smash "More Today Than Yesterday" from 1969-In 1988,Kaplan's daughter Brenda K.Starr had a sizeable hit called "I Still Believe".

Great additions, especially 'Jerry's kid'. ...and here's an 'almost': Kim Wilde, who of course scored two top 40 hits in the '80s, including her 1987 #1 remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On", is the daughter of Marty Wilde. 'Who the heck is Marty Wilde?' you may ask. Kim's dad was the vocalist on a 1969 #47-peaking single that hit #1 in the UK: "Abergavenny", by a studio group called Shannon. On last weekend's ''60s Satellite Survey' countdown on Sirius-XM's ''60s Gold' channel, from this week in August 1969, show host Dave Hoeffel played the earworm-catchy "Abergavenny" as an extra. Which triggered a dim memory of hearing it a time or two back in that long-ago late summer of '69.

What about the Hawkes family ? In 1967 Leonard "Chip" Hawkes reached #11 with the Tremeloes with "Silence Is Golden" and in 1991 Chesney Lee Hawkes reached #10 with "The One And Only".

Speaking of "Silence is Golden", we can all never forget a 1991 Shadoe AT40 when Shadoe Stevens accidentally played a re-recorded piece of "Silence is Golden" from some K-Tel oldies album featuring re-recordings of songs by original artists to tie in with "The One and Only" by Chesney Hawkes.

When I heard the answer I immediately said "Did he forget Kim Wilde or was 'Kids In America' later than this?" I didn't realize that her dad never reached the Top 40 in the U.S. as either Marty Wilde or Shannon (neither one of which was his real name). He had been a big star in England pre-Beatles.

Per Whitburn, his only US chart single as Marty Wilde was in 1960. "Bad Boy" reached #45. His birth name was Reginald Smith. 'Kim Wilde' does sound better than 'Kim Smith'.

"The One & Only" by Chesney Hawkes was played over the opening credits of the 1991 Michael J.Fox movie "Doc Hollywood"-Saw the movie on You Tube a few days ago-It's terrific!

A couple of bizarre facts about the question Casey answered in the first hour. First the Beatles who Casey said took over the record for longest time between first chart and most recent chart appearance 3 weeks earlier, only kept that for 4 more weeks until Ben E. King charted with "Stand by Me". It was 25 years between first and most recent for that one. But in 2018 guess what happened?! "White Christmas" entered the chart to take back the record it held from 1962 to 1986. That's 76 years between first and most recent chart appearance. Another wrong age given for Madonna. Casey had been saying her age was 2 years younger that it was in 1984 and 85. With it being only one year off this time, I think the mistake can be attributed to her having just had a birthday. This was the first show recorded after her birthday on August 16th. By the way, she hit #1 on that date. Must be able to count on one hand the number of times in the first run of AT40 that an artist hit #1 precisely on his or her birthday.

He did the same with Belinda Carlisle; her birthday is the 17th.

Seems like there's something in common with the age bit, and the conclusion I've come to is this: Madonna, Belinda Carlisle, Prince, and Michael Jackson all have something in common besides Casey stating their age as two years younger than they are. And that is, all of them were born in 1958. He gave their ages at multiple times as if they all were born in 1960.
