And that brings up another question: Did any artists that hit number one in the 60's (or first part of 1970) have their debut on AT 40 AFTER their number one archived song was played? If Bonds makes the cut, I can only think of three: Bonds, Louis Armstrong, and Chubby Checker. Lulu was close, but I'm pretty sure "To Sir With Love" was played on a week in which "I Could Never Miss You" was already on AT 40. Roy Orbison did too. He had #1's in the 60's that were played as archive songs, then hit AT40 in 1989 with "You Got It". EDIT: So did Del Shannon - "Runaway" had been featured as an archive by the time "Sea Of Love" hit AT40 in 1982. |

Totally forgot about Del in 1982. It's kind of neat that there were at least five artists who had number one hits and other hits in the 60's skipping a decade before hitting again. And in the case of Orbison, almost skipping two calendar decades! |

A little off topic, but in May 1989, Rick Dees told a story on Kelly Osbourne setting her dad's sheets on fire. This was 13 years before she'd chart with "Papa Don't Preach."

Another artist who made their AT40 debut after being featured as a 60's archive was The Monkees - their comeback single "That Was Then, This Is Now" hit the top 40 in 1986, several years after their #1's were played as archives.

In the 70's, Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" was played as an extra several times. He would make AT40 in 1991 duetting with his daughter Natalie on "Unforgettable".

I think we've gotten most of them. Love the song Tomorrow but the Brothers Johnson original is the one I like. Instrumental and smooth as all hell!

This may not really count, but it's notable: Premiere recently reran the 11/18/72 show which included Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes", written and produced by David Bowie. Casey told a full story about Bowie and his popularity overseas, but he had never had a US top 40 hit to that time. That changed a few months later, when "Space Oddity" charted.

How about Gary U.S. Bonds and Chubby Checker?
Oops - mentioned in earlier post - of course.

Another stretch: on Rick Dees' Top 40 hits of 1985, Rick interviewed Grace Slick who mentioned Martin Page, who contributed to "We Built This City." Martin wouldn't have a hit as a solo performer for another 10 years ("In The House of Stone And Light").

In 2008, Ryan Seacrest interviewed Madonna on AT40 and she mentioned Katy Perry before she had her first chart hit with "I Kissed a Girl".

I think Casey and/or Shadoe mentioned that Lenny Kravitz had co-written and co-produced "Justify My Love," which charted in late 1990-early 1991. He'd have his first hit "It Ain't Over Till It's Over" in the summer of 1991.

Borderline case: Boz Scaggs's 1976 hits "Lowdown" and "Lido Shuffle" had half of the original lineup of Toto playing, and were co-written by the band's keyboardist David Paich, before they hit with "Hold The Line" a few years later.

It was interesting on this weekend’s Rick Dees show from 1989 when he mentioned that Eagle Eye Cherry was the brother of Neneh Cherry. And this was nearly 10 years before Eagle Eye would have his first and only #1 hit.

Jim Kerr of Simple Minds was mentioned almost a year before they had their first hit in the 6/9/84 show. Casey mentioned how Chrissie Hynde had just married him. Simple Minds was also mentioned.
