Listening to Hall & Oates’ It’s A Laugh now, you can really hear it as the moment their 70s sound begins to morph into their soon to be 80s sound. #at40

This was the last of Gene Cotton‘s four top 40 heads and it peaked right here at number 40. He falls firmly in the Michael Johnson/Paul Davis school of 70s MOR singer-songwriters. And I have no idea what this song is about. #at40

When Casey Kasem first aired this medley of number 1 songs back in 1974, I was a kid and taped it off the radio. I must’ve listened to it a lot of times, because I can still sing the entire medley by heart. #at40

There would be one more number one country song that went number one pop that year, which was I’m Sorry by John Denver. So that makes five for the year— the most ever. #at40

Casey notes that James Taylor wrote most of his hits, and of course he is a legendarily great songwriter. But actually all of his top 10 singles except for Fire and Rain are covers, which is surprising. #at40

John Denver’s I’m sorry made it all the way to number one for a week, but then DJs flipped the record and the b-side Calypso spent four weeks at number two. #at40

Cacee says you can’t stop the Carpenters, but actually, the Carpenters’ top 10 string had already been permanently stopped by this point. Solitaire stalled at number 17. #at40 Good Neil Sedaka song, though. The second Sedaka cover on this countdown along with love will keep us together.

Anyone ever notice that the verses to Black Superman Muhammad Ali and to Steve Martin’s King Tut (which we heard on #at40 a couple of weeks ago) are completely interchangeable?

Rocky by Austin Roberts is a pop remake of a country hit from earlier in ‘75 by “death song” specialist Dickie Lee (Patches, Laurie, etc) This is one of two death records on this week’s #at40 The other one is a cheese-pop classic….

Casey lauds Olivia Newton John’s five consecutive top 10 singles, but Please Mr. Please would be her last visit to the Top 10 for three years, until she came back strong with you’re the one that I want and the other songs from Grease in ‘ 78. #at40.

The BT Express record that is playing at number 40 on this week’s #at40 would soon be flipped over by DJs and the b-side, Peace Pipe, would become the bigger hit.
