I remember being in high school in 1976 and being horribly disappointed that Gordon Lightfoot didn't make it to #1 on AT40--so I made up my own chart in November of 1976 placing the song at #1. Many years later I learned that Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald did make it to #1 in Cash Box.

I remember being in high school in 1976 and being horribly disappointed that Gordon Lightfoot didn't make it to #1 on AT40--so I made up my own chart in November of 1976 placing the song at #1. Many years later I learned that Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald did make it to #1 in Cash Box. Yup, it hit the top on this date, for just the one week. It was huge in the Great Lakes region, of course, which, despite the tragic event that inspired it, always gave me a feeling of pride. In the lyrics, Gordon mentions Whitefish Bay. Though he's referring to an inlet off the shore of Upper Michigan and not the suburb of Milwaukee where I grew up, it was always cool to hear that on the radio. The same week that "Ed Fitz" rang the bell in Cash Box, it peaked at only #5 in Record World, probably due to having weaker sales than airplay. Also on Nov. 13, "Muskrat Love" became the first song in the brief history of Radio & Records to be #1 on that chart only, without topping any of the other major charts. |
