(Wow, when a single stalls at one position for a few weeks, usually the only direction after that is DOWN. The Ohio Players break that pattern with "Love Rollercoaster" Jan. '76 on #AT40)

THANK YOU, CHUCK! The "forgotten" first half of 1970 (pre-Casey.) Switching over right when we're done here! #AT40
Attention 1970 #AT40 fans:
Today’s 60’s Survey is from January 1970. It’s on the app too.

Somewhere in 1976, the producers of 1977's "Smokey & The Bandit" were thinking "Hmmm, maybe there something we could do here." "Convoy" Jan. '76 on #AT40

Though mostly a studio re-creation of their live shows, I played THE HELL out of "Kiss Alive," which had come out the previous fall. Naysayers begone! #AT40 ("Rock and Roll All Nite" Jan. '76)

So funny. More than once, Casey reached into his thesaurus and used "bizarre" to describe Kiss. (He likes that word, as he used it to set up Alice Cooper's hits years before.) Now, both bands are considered so safe and part of Americana. Time... #AT40

Confession: at the time, I made no connection to The Miracles formerly being Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. "Love Machine Pt. 1" Jan. '76 on #AT40 (Not that I really care, but is there really a "Pt. 2" and, if so, is it just a continuation - to fill out the B-side? 😆)

This is one of those albums where, if I met someone who knew & loved it, I knew we had a connection! (To all the rockers here: SIDE TWO, RIGHT???) Sweet with "Fox On The Run" Jan. '76 on #AT40

Agree 100% about The Monkees. People got too hung up on the TV show aspect, not realizing the talent that went into those recordings (and the SONGWRITERS! Neil Diamond, Carole King, Boyce & Hart, Harry Nilsson, David Gates... 😀) #AT40
I loved The Monkees. They were poopooed a lot but I thought they made great pop tunes. #AT40

The Bay City Rollers DID revert to being just "The Rollers" in 1979, as they tried to reintroduce themselves as a harder rocking band. (The original 4, but troublesome singer Les replaced.) IT'S GOOD! Of course, it sank without a trace 😔. #AT40

The story of The Bay City Rollers picking Bay City randomly has been told many times. To the best of my knowledge, it's true! It sounds like something their PR team would make up, but no. Here's "Saturday Night" still riding the charts Jan. '76 on #AT40

"They had a hit back in 1970 with "Little Green Bag." Remember?" Um, no, Casey. The George Baker Selection back to inflict more pain with "Paloma Blanca" Jan. '76 on #AT40

Aw, Casey. You missed an opportunity to harken back to the Monkees story. When you called out Buffalo Springfield, you might have mentioned that Stephen Stills auditioned for The Monkees. He didn't get the gig, of course, and the legend is that he recommended his friend, Peter Thorkelson (sp.) #AT40

The Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart album was better than you might expect. "I Remember The Feeling" was a highlight. But... we wanted The Monkees, and this wasn't it. (Close, though!) #AT40

Though Motley Crue did a fun cover in the 80's, I'll take the original "Smokin' In The Boys Room" any day. All hail the great Brownsville Station! Jan. '74 on #AT40

(Ahem. Clears throat.) CAPITOL RECORDS - WHERE IS THE DELUXE BOX SET FOR RINGO'S 1973 "RINGO" ALBUM??? (vs. a scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel "Anthology 4?") #AT40
Ringo still drumming at 85!
You’re Sixteen from the great self-titled Ringo lp. (take it away, Rod!) #AT40

Not in the slightest!! If Casey set up the Wings song telling us "Helen Wheels" was a name Paul & Linda gave to a car of theirs (which is true,) I missed it. But, musically? No connection whatsoever! #AT40

Y'know those scenes in "Casino" of the backrooms counting up thousands & thousands of dollars? That's how I imagine the Osmond compound back in the 70's, as Donny just kept banging out covers and little girls - somewhere - were buying them. "When I Fall In Love" by Donny Jan.'74 on #AT40

Grand Funk had released their "We're An American Band" album and single the previous summer of '73. That single was such a monster, they waited months before releasing a follow-up. Here's "Walk Like A Man" in Jan. '74 (They'd have a new album & single out in just a couple months... ) #AT40
