7/30/77: Falling from #98 after peaking at #90 is a Buffalo-born woman named Donna McDaniel. She used to sing back-up for acts like Motley Crue and Billy Idol.

8/3/78: Falling from its peak of #80 is Bill Anderson with a song I would call "disco-country." It did peak at #4 on the country chart, and it's called "I Can't Wait Any Longer." www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRdP8_VIZNg8/1/81: Falling from #92 after peaking at #59 is Smokey Robinson with "You Are Forever." www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEIe2PJ9WAc8/1/87: Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead Or Alive" fell from #72, while Level 42's "Lessons In Love" fell from #56. So, on to #98, and debuting, as well as peaking there, is the girl group from NYC named The Cover Girls with "Spring Love." www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ccT5vpPg0A locally-produced country oldies show that I used to listen to regularly used to play another of Bill Anderson's "disco-country" songs called "Double-S". It was a sultry disco-lite production in which Bill "whispered" a tale of a sweet one-night stand told in such a way that he frequently paired up two words beginning with the letter "S", hence the song's title. (Needless to say, this was light years removed from "Mama Sang A Song") |
