Speaking of the Jack in the Box fast food chain, there used to be Jack in the Box locations in the Chicago area but they all closed down in 1981. Have always had Jack here in so AZ, going back to my childhood in the '60s. So I saw all of the ads. They're still here, but are a much smaller 'player' in the burger market than they were say, 50 years ago. In '71, besides McD's and Jack, the only other 'players' here were the long-defunct Burger Chef, Whataburger (still around, but not many) and Sandy's, who were acquired by Hardees later in the '70s. Hardees hung on here into the '90s, but pulled out before they were taken over by Carl's Jr. Carl's had entered the AZ market in the early '80s. We did not get either Burger King or Wendy's until later in the '70s. Long before In-N-Out and the other 'premium' fast food burger chains (5 Guys, Freddy's, Culver's) blessed out market with their presence. Ah, gotta love 'thread creep'...

Here’s a lost classic that coincides with Premiere’s show for this weekend from January 25, 1975. German recording artist Michael Holm reached the Hot 100 with one single, which peaked this week at #53. “When A Child Is Born” is a soft melody that connected, due to its theme, with some radio stations as a Christmas song in December 1974. However, the lyric is generic enough that the song continued to gain attention. A few online comments about this recording: “Many people sing it, but no one as beautifully as Michael Holm.” “This is so angelic.” “Not well-known but an inspiring song.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aUeQ7zitUsEnjoy!

I predict '75 will be the B show for this weekend. Will the A show be early 70's or '79? That's the question.

Did the NFL dropkick this one in 1979? To coincide with the January 27, 1979 show, here’s a lost ‘country’ classic. Glenn Sutton’s “The Football Card” is a humorous look at NFL gambling, 1979 style. The song spent all of 5 weeks on the Hot 100. It debuted on 1/6/79 at #70 (the highest New Entry of the week), and then it climbed to #52, then #46, and AT40 bound. Then, “time out on the 46” for a second week. It then dropped to #91 for a final week. What caused this one to lose its chart momentum? Enjoy this novelty, complete with some “c’mon man” NFL bloopers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvU7cJqY3tE

Steelers beat the Cowboys 35-31.

Steelers beat the Cowboys 35-31. Super Bowl XIII: Dallas' 38-year-old backup tight end Jackie Smith, wide open in the middle of the end zone, drops a certain TD pass during the third quarter of the Cowboys' 35-31 loss to the Steelers. Dallas settles for a field goal in a game it loses by four points. The very first Super Bowl in February was in 2002 because of 9/11/2001, the following year saw the 2003 Super Bowl game return to January, but the 2004 game was in February again.

And since 2004, the Super Bowl is, as Wikipedia puts it, exactly five months after Labor Day...which puts it anywhere from 2/1 to 2/7. So like those of us who know the calendar as well as we do, can tell what date the SB will fall on every year (so long as the NFL keeps with that schedule).

And in 2021, we will still have a Super Bowl on Feb. 7, 2021 with the COVID protocols and there will be healthcare workers in the stadium bleachers with social distance seating and face masks on!

Here in the UK the version of that song was a massive hit for johnny Mathis reaching #1 over Christmas 1976 and every year since we have it played in stores, on radio stations and tv shows

For February 4, 1978, here’s a lost classic that Neil Young recorded in concert at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Michigan nearly 10 years earlier. Initially released and listed in 1970 as the B-side to his “Cinnamon Girl”, the original live recording of “Sugar Mountain” was re-released in 1978 and reviewed in the 2/4/78 issue of Billboard as a “recommended” single. (As you may know, “Cinnamon Girl” was listed on the Hot 100 at #59 on July 11, 1970.) Exactly 50 years ago, in February 1971, “Sugar Mountain” was receiving a fair amount of radio airplay and, in fact, peaked at #34 on an AM Top 40 station in Chicago. Perhaps the song never received enough airplay momentum to reach the Hot 100 in 1978 because Reprise Records released it – once again – complete with its 5:36 running time. It’s vintage Neil Young, vocals and guitar, with a mellow, autobiographical reflection of lost youth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-macfL0MdM

I hadn't known until looking it up in 45cat that "Sugar Mountain" was the b-side to five different Neil Young singles (including "Heart Of Gold") before that a-side release.

For the chart of February 13, 1971, here’s a lost classic from a Hot 100 one-hit-wonder group. One year after Led Zeppelin debuted in the Top 40 with “Whole Lotta Love”, another British act released their cover version. Although Whitburn lists “Whole Lotta Love” by C.C.S. as an Instrumental, echo chamber vocals using some of the original lyrics are present toward the song’s conclusion. This long forgotten, jazz-infused single – still worthy of classic rock status – spent all of four weeks on the Hot 100, peaking at #58. Best youtube comment: “Led Zeppelin meets Hawaii Five-O.” Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9GS3SofhdU

Also remember it was on Rak Records--the only time I've ever seen that particular 45 label. The label had a sailboat on it, amazing the things one remembers! Looked it up: Rak 4501. Guessing it was the first thing that label released ('45-01', get it?).
