American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This recording is a rebroadcast from internet radio.

In this broadcast:

Casey replays the very first words ever recorded by the very first man ever to make a recording.

We hear the story of one artist who had 2 albums recalled by the US government, one because he released 400,000 copies, each of which contained a pair of women's panties.

Casey gives the recipe for a margarita.

In the history of the pop singles chart, only 4 live recordings have ever made #1. One of them is in this countdown.

One singer is alive to be in the countdown only because he gave up his seat on the plane that crashed and killed Buddy Holly. Casey tells the story.

"Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac seemed like it would stay at #1 on the album chart forever, "Welcome Back Kotter" was still on the air, and Pop Rocks had just been invented. This is a really good countdown from a great moment in time.
