American Top 40 1979 March 31st (Size: 506.18 MB)
Description "The disco gospel continues to spread. This week the number of disco records in the countdown hits a new high. We have 15 out of the 40 and this is one of them. At number 5, three weeks in a row, Peaches & Herb and 'Shake Your Groove Thing'." 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 countdown: Premiere Radio Networks did a hatchet job on the first verse of "Big Shot" (by Billy Joel at number 14). As a RocketMan extra (because they hurt my feelings), I've included some video from Billy Joel's January, 1983 HBO special to make up for it. It is called "Live From Long Island." Also, I didn't see this video torrented anywhere so if you want a copy, I just uploaded it as an AVI and an ISO. Peaches & Herb have the highest debut song of the week with "Reunited" (at number 26) but the band Wings debuts their song "Good Night Tonight" on the hot 100 all the way up at number 38. Casey tells whatever became of "Mr. Personality" Lloyd Price. This is the 48th of 52 weeks in the top 40 for one female superstar. Casey tells about the songs that did it for her. There is a song in the countdown by a band whose lead singer is the first and only former Playboy Bunny ever to make the top 40 (so says Casey). In a previous show Casey said Anne Murray didn't hit number 1 until eight years after she first charted. A listener wants to know if that is a record for women and Casey says no. The record is held by a woman who first charted in 1951 but didn't hit number 1 until 1963 and then gives the details. Casey tells about an amateur band that left their demo tape on the doorstep of a famous disc jockey hoping to get his advice. Instead he played their song on the BBC the next day and that song is in the top 10.
