Sorry, I'm actually trying not to like 'You Light Up My Life,' but although there are other hits on this 1977-12-10 that are more in sync with my music tastes, I still think Debby's hit is quite likable. On that note, I'll wish everyone in #AT40 hashtag land a merry and happy new week!

Goes to show you never know which artists are going to score multiple TD's, career-wise, & which ones are 3-&-out. I recall the hype (and owned the lp) back then by High Inergy, e.g., Motown's resurgence. I like 'You Can't Turn Me Off,' but have no memory of any followups beyond the debut lp. #AT40

Following an earlier #AT40 tweet, some more "Artists on this chart who I own on CD, 2025 version." Several Diana Ross lps (incl. a Supremes anthology), a nice hunka Elvis (missing most of the soundtrack lps, on purpose), everything by Earth Wind & Fire throughout the '70s, & Santana from '69 to '75.

'Don't Be Cruel' > 'My Way' on the Elvis Presley spectrum imho. I do think Elvis did a good job with the latter, which was written and sung first by Frank Sinatra (yes, I'm joking about the 'written' part, but still hard to forgive the actual writer for 'Having My Baby'). #AT40

I can separate the hits I like from the artists I love by what's in my CD collection even today. Of this 1977-12-10 chart thus far, I own about a dozen Stevie Wonder albums & iirc every Chic lp, even the Nile Rodgers reboot CD from a few years ago! There will be a few more own's from today's #AT40

Checking in to check out today's #AT40 from 1977-12-10. Without any pre-reveals, I expect I'll be into a higher percentage of this week's hits than the WOC from several days ago. In the meantime, a 100th birthday shoutout to one of my all-time faves in tv/movies, etc.: DICK VAN DYKE!

As a fan of both Miles Davis & outstanding percussionists, I'm saddened to hear of the passing of the great Marilyn Mazur, who played in Miles' band in '85 & '88, offering a distinctive approach to the art of percussion. She was featured on this tune at MD's '88 concerts::

Just tuning in to this WO #AT40 Looked at the 1978-06-17 chart. With a few exceptions not my fave music of '78 but I hope other hashtaggers are enjoying it. This Chuck Mangione tune is smooth, & I love that George Benson & Chuck annoyed jazz purists. Miles Davis was/is my trumpet obsession though!

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

On a countdown with a ton of gems and just a few (arguably) meh cuts, this may be the best week at 1-2 ever imho: Isaac Hayes with 'Theme From Shaft' and Sly & The Family Stone with 'Family Affair.' Great in every way, including being 2 of the most musically-progressive cuts on #AT40 ever.

I mentioned a week or so ago of having too many internet windows causing an unintentional remix or two. Today I find Aretha's 'Rock Steady' mashing up w/ Yoko Ono's 'The Sun Is Down!' I love both cuts & this is a weirdly intriguing car crash. Next time I'll play them one after the other, tho! #AT40
