11/6/76: Falling from #61. after peaking at #49, are The O'Jays with "Message In Our Music." This is the single edit version of the song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXCDSceuefU11/6/82: At the bottom was Kim Carnes' "Voyeur", which was a top 30 hit. Following that, we have Aretha Franklin's #24 "Jump To It", then Melissa Manchester's top 5 "You Should Hear..." at #98. Soft Cell was spending its last week on the Hot 100 with "Tainted Love" (Casey played that as an extra). So, the "bottom song" this week (at #96) was held by an English synth-pop duo named Yaz. Their song "Situation" was falling from #85 after peaking at #73. www.youtube.com/watch?v=us_QActqlKA

Let's start with 11/16/74. At the bottom was ONJ's #1 "I Honestly Love You." Then, the Ohio Players' "Skin Tight" falling from 78. The non-top 40 hit at the bottom is next at #98. It's George McCrae's follow-up to "Rock Your Baby" called "I Can't Leave You Alone." The song peaked right in the middle at #50 and fell from 54. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-6ypXJU7UU11/16/85: Falling from 96 is former Go-Go Jane Wiedlin (from my home state of Wisconsin) with "Blue Kiss." The song peaked at #77. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwfzWVPBvpc

11/25/72: Debuting at the bottom was X-rated actress Joey Heatherton. She already had a top 40 hit with her version of Ferlin Husky's "Gone." Here is her take of Brenda Lee's classic "I'm Sorry". Joey's version peaked at a lowly #87. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4jY2JmQYg11/29/86: Speaking of celebs singing, at #100 (after falling from #71) is Don Johnson's top 5 "Heartbeat." So, I have to go to #99, and there we find the Steve Miller Band. They fell from their peak of #97 with "I Want To Make The World Turn Around." www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjt0pk3gyYw

jmack, I have a different song at the bottom of this week's 1970 chart. It debuted at #100 and would only peak at #80. It's Redbone, the "Come And Get Your Love" group with "Maggie." www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4uz4Ca9w9UFor 12/8/84: Falling 9 notches to the bottom is Sheila E.'s "The Glamorous Life." So, once again, I have to go to #99, and there we find Barbra Streisand's "Left In The Dark." It peaked right in the middle at #50.

The public liked it better the second time around when it charted in the summer of 1971. Just missed the top 40, peaking at #45. The album version is my preference. Ends in a jam session that fades shortly after the 5 minute mark.

Had not ever heard that version of "Left in the Dark" before with the spoken intro. It is a Jim Steinman production.

Both of our bottom of the chart artists this week are Canadian singers.
First, it's 12/15/73:
Debuting at the bottom, and only going as high as #92, is the Canadian duo of Gary Weeks & Dave Beckett. Billed as Gary & Dave on the record, here's "Could You Ever Love Me Again."
12/20/80:
#100 was Carly Simon's #11 "Jessie", followed by The Doobie Brothers' top 5 "Real Love." Then, it's Supertramp with their top 15 record "Dreamer". So, I have to go to #97. and debuting there is a Canadian female singer named Jackie (now Jacqueline) English. Her song is called "Once A Night" and it peaked at #94. It was used for the Walter Matthau film Hopscotch.

12/21/74 (part one of the top 100 of 1974 special): Falling from #56 to the bottom are The Hudson Brothers with their #21 song "So You Are A Star." The song after that is Percy "When A Man Loves A Woman" Sledge with "I'll Be Your Everything." The song fell from #76 after peaking at #62. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-rKmDyI_3I12/28/74 (part two of 1974's top 100): Debuting at the bottom is Chilliwack. They're the same guys who would later hit the 40 with "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)". This song is called "Crazy Talk" and it would peak at #98. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON7ZB0Im-lQ12/29/84 (date of 1984's top 100): A frozen chart that week, so remaining at #100 is Melissa Manchester with "Thief Of Hearts." The song only got as high as #86. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyE4dPGFyZI

1/11/75: I already talked about Chilliwack last week (they spent a second week at the bottom with "Crazy Talk"), so on to #99. Debuting there was an Al Wilson medley that only got to #70. It's called "I Won't Last A Day Without You"/"Let Me Be The One." www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFJKUF0Z_BU1/22/83: Falling from #89 is ONJ's "Heart Attack", which was followed by "Everybody Wants You", a #32 hit for Billy Squier. So, at #98 after falling from #85 is the group Scandal. They peaked as high as #65 with "Goodbye To You."
