At 2:14, she came in real handy backtiming to the top of the hour network news....more than a few times....
 
Other great tunes that I am looking forward to hearing on this show that you NEVER hear anymore....

1. Way Down - Elvis Presley
2. The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot
3. Couldn't Get It Right - Climax Blues band
4. The Killing Of Georgie - Rod Stewart
 
q105 plays couldn't get it right.....the others, it's been a while.

how about rocky, austin roberts........run, joey, run david geddes..........i'm easy - keith carradine........let her in - john travolta......
 
The Maureen McGovern song sounded wonderful to me. I also got a kick of hearing the Carpenters "Yesterday Once More" followed by Deep Purple "Smoke On The Water". Talk about variety! I also liked the jingles of the 1973 AT40, they were really brassy, lot's of horns. I believe that jingle package was only used that year.

I heard it. What a blast from the past. "I'm In You", one of the most sappiest tunes EVER, kept out of the top spot by a then 19-year old Andy Gibb....

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
 
Amazing how Frampton went from "Alive" to "Career Killer Tune" in the space of one year....

What a run for RSO Records who just weeks later would unleash "Saturday Night Fever" and four more years
of The Brothers Gibb at or near the top of the charts.
 
This was the first time I heard "You and Me" since it was a current 31 years ago. Listening to it was like a metaphysical experience to me. It brought me right back to where I was and what I was doing when I first enjoyed the song. A song from the same year that has been played ever since, "Hotel California" for example, could never trigger such specific memories.

I found "You and Me" on youtube. There is even a clip of Alice Cooper serenading the song to a muppet on the Muppet Show.

While "I'm In You" certainly destroyed Frampton's carrer (appearing in the Sgt Peppers movie a year latter didn't help either) I loved hearing it, once again because it's so well rested. Yes it's a wimpy song, but it's very well produced. There is sort of a guitar solo towards the end of the song which gave a high to my brain, partly because I haven't heard it in so long and partly because it's such a high level of musicianship.

Now I crave hearing an obscure Peter Frampton song. "I Can't Stand It No More" from 1979. I might never hear it. AT40-the 70s only covers 1970-1978 because the show was expanded to 4 hours in 1979.
 
How about alice's 'only women bleed'? don't hear that one on the radio on anymore.

i saw frampton a few years back in Tampa and he played 'I can't stand it no more,' as one of his encores. Great song. I also liked "I'm in you."

even when i am at work i make it a point to catch the AT 40 broadcasts on sunday morning. I also have xm on my digital cable pkg. They play the only AT 40s with casey on Wednesdays.

ah, the good old days of radio......
 
Another interesting thing about "I'm In You".....

During the summer of 1977, the late, great Frank Zappa was writing tunes that would later emerge on his 1979 masterpiece "Sheik Yerbouti". Zappa thought that "I'm In You" was one of the most crappiest things that he had ever heard, so in reply , Zappa wrote the song "I HAVE BEEN In You"....


HAHAHAHAHA!!!
 
This week AT 40 The Seventies is playing the countdown from 1978. An interesting thing about this weeks show from 30 years ago is that it was the LAST original 3-hour format that was aired before AT 40 began their now familiar 4 Hour show...
 
does that mean this will be the last 1978 countdown that will be played? Cheers 8) ???
 
I hope that they play more. AT 40 The Eighties is only 3 hours long, and they basically play the old 4-hour shows MINUS the commercials...They should do that for the 1979 AT-40's...but until next time, "Keep Your Feet in The Ground, and keep reaching for the stars"... ;

;D
