7/23/77: Second week at #100 is a singer from Scotland named Frankie Miller with "The Doodle Song." It peaked at #71. Briguy will appreciate this next bit of info because Clint Black's 1992 #4 country hit "Burn One Down" was co-written by Frankie. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TeBu4187QW8The song is only 2:45, not 4:15. Frankie Miller also wrote a song titled "Ain't Got No Money", which was covered by Bob Seger on his 1978 "Stranger In Town" LP. What's interesting, as i mentioned on another thread recently, is that the Miller song is EXTREMELY similar melodically to Seger's own song "The Fire Down Below", which was on his 1976 "Night Moves" LP. I guess Bob didn't mind the similarity! |

8/3/74: Debuting at #100 was Cat Stevens version of "Another Saturday Night" which would make the top 10. #99 was a then 15-year-old Tanya Tucker with "The Man That Turned My Mama On." The song would peak at #86 pop and #4 country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqDMnwbh_es8/2/80: Falling from its peak of #66 is Teri DeSario duetting with K.C. w/o The Sunshine Band and their version of "Dancin' In The Streets." 8/6/88: At the bottom was Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers' "Tomorrow People." Since we heard that in the last '88 show, let's move on to The System. That's the group that had the top ten "Don't Disturb This Groove." This song fell from #93 after peaking at #91 and is called "Coming To America." It's the title song from the Eddie Murphy film of the same name. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwq4FRFbcns |

8/8/70: #100 was the Poppy Family's second, and final, top 40 hit "That's Where I Went Wrong." It made the top 30, so at #99, and staying at its peak, was Mama Cass Elliott with "A Song That Never Comes". www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwwYBuzFc7s8/4/79: Both the "B" Show of the 70's and this week's 80's show feature a country song at the bottom. First, falling from #71 is Dolly Parton's "You're The Only One." The song peaked at #59 pop and spent two weeks at #1 country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9HiYu7Ygvk8/6/83: Falling from #98 is Lee Greenwood's "I.O.U." No, it's not the same song that Jimmy Dean had in '76. Anyway, the song peaked at #53 pop, #6 country and #4 AC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag2RCBQoox0 |

The next song up was a pair of Scottish brothers With the last name of Sutherland who teamed up with a trio named Quiver. Their song debuted at #99 and would peak at #48.

I remember KOMA/Oklahoma City (and all over the western and central states at night) playing this back in the fall of '73. Definitely not a 'hip' enough band, but the perfect title for Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla's long-running radio advice show. I guess it's still on, but I stopped listening after Adam left. He made the show. |

Let's start with 8/26/72. Debuting at the bottom was a song that got to #77 pop and #13 country. It's Sammi Smith with "I've Got To Have You." www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfMZVsduaIQNow, let's go to 8/26/78. At #100 was "Wonderful Tonight". Falling from #75 to #99 after peaking at #70 are the brother and sister acting team of Kristy & Jimmy McNichol with a cover version of "He's So Fine." www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp0vs3ZWbyINow, to the 80's. More specifically, 8/29/81. At the bottom for a second week was the #1 medley by Stars on 45. So, falling from #93 after peaking at #54, is Styx with "Nothing Ever Goes As Planned." www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMKgYhUOVQsFinally, it's time for 8/30/86. Falling from #86 after peaking at #79 was Icehouse. That's the same band who would later hit with "Crazy" and "Electric Blue." Their song is called "No Promises." www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHRW-H_wGK0 |

I'm convinced that a major reason it wasn't a bigger hit was the awkwardly long title. The only other Sutherland Brothers & Quiver record to make the Hot 100, "Arms of Mary," hit #5 in Britain. Rod Stewart's remake of the Brothers' "Sailing" was a huge British #1. |

That Go West tune sounded like it should have added to the total of "Call Me" titles that hit the top 40, which at the time anyway was more than any other song title.

9/3/77: Falling to the bottom after peaking at #86 is Jesse Winchester (the same guy who would hit the 40 five years later with "Say What") with "Nothing But A Breeze." www.youtube.com/watch?v=clnuGqdcFko7/2/83 (the top acts of the 80's so far special): At the bottom was "Der Kommissar". That was followed by "I Won't Hold You Back", "Billie Jean", "No Time For Talk" and "All My Life." (the latter two going to #'s 33 and 37, respectively). So, I have to go all the way to #95 and debuting there was a song called "Night Pulse" by an English duo named Double Image. The song would peak at #92. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxPqANyU8MI9/7/85: Falling from #75 after peaking at #67 is a British musician named Belouis Some with a song called "Some People." www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpFEzkg5sUo9/13/80: The bottom was occupied by Robbie Dupree's "Steal Away". Debuting at #99, and going to #87, is a five-member group named Dynasty and "I've Just Begun To Love You." www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNiglG4bHOk |
