Every once in a while you should take time out and acknowledge how life’s been good. So this week we will be reminiscing about those summer nights listening to the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending August 19, 1978. In addition to some recent concert reviews and stuff like that, the music in this episode promises to be like two tickets to paradise.

This week Casey Kasem takes us on a sentimental journey as AT40 takes us through the number one songs on the 4th of July’s from the Bicentennial back to 1937. Along with Casey’s recap of the top news stories of each year, Pete and Mark provide a little personal family history detailing their family’s American journey. This particular AT40 was recorded from the WPIX FM broadcast on July 3, 1976 and includes news, weather, sports, and commercials from that day.

How do you do, it’s so nice to be with you again! In anticipation of this episode, last night I didn’t get to sleep at all. Then today, as I saw the light and realized morning has broken, I thought, oh well, it’s too late to turn back now. Day by day we have edged closer to that time when school’s out. I am warning you in advance that it’s going to take some time to get through the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending June 24, 1972. How can I be sure? Well just lean on me and find out.

Let’s face it, nobody want you when you’re down an out. During those times, you just want some sunshine on your shoulders, you’re looking for love, someone to look at you with bright eyes and say “He’s the one”. I remember walking in the green grass with my sweet tattooed lady, unlike anyone else, you really got me. I would have never guessed you’d leave me for the railroad man. The good news is we’ve got some good rocking tonight. The music from Episode 60 of The Midnight Special, will rock the nation far and wide. It will shake the grave and make the cradle rock.

Baby I’m burnin’, my head is on fire, and only heaven knows if I will survive the flu this year. It seems like love don’t live here anymore, because you don’t bring me flowers when I’m sick. I could really use a little more love in my life. Now I know what you’re saying, don’t cry out loud. You took the words right out of my mouth. At least we’re warm and dry as we listen to the music from the Billboard Top 40 from the week of January 20, 1979. You’ll hear us sharing the night together with a special voice from the past. We can’t make any promises that every 1’s a winner, but hey; there is such a thing as too much heaven.

This week we turn back time to Christmas 1975 and take a look at the “Dark Lady’s” Christmas special of  The Cher Show” that aired December 21, 1975. Cher is joined by here special guests The Hudson Brothers, The Lennon Sisters, Redd Foxx, and Chastity. I’m not sure we believe in life after love, but we sure did love this show!

In 1972 were you one of all the young dudes that acted like crazy horses? Looking around, it seems like it’s starting all over again. If the youth of today wish to use me as an example, all I can say is don’t do it. If you don’t know me now, there used to be a light of thunder and lightning behind this funny face. Alas, as we listen to the music from the Billboard Top 40 from the week of November 11, 1972, I can see clearly now that I believe in music.
