That photo montage she posted was misleading -- "Boogie Nights" is from '77. But here's hoping we get a couple rarities along with the obvious "classics".

Strange connections:  Tuesday's and Wednesday's shows had clips from The Outsiders and
The Fisher King, respectively.  Tom Waits had parts in both those movies.  So for 1976, I'd
suggest his Small Change (Got Rained on with His Own .38).

that would be swell, tho' if we get Waits it'll be more likely "Step Right Up" or "The Piano Has been Drinking".   '76 was also the year he made his famous appearance on Fernwood 2-Nite. "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."

I remember seeing the film for this (they weren't 'videos' yet) on SNL with George and Eric Idle in the fall of '76. It's twoo, it's twoo!

One of the lesser-heard tracks from the superlative Silk Degrees. Boz at the height of his talents.

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman --> Lou Rawls with the Cap'n's request.  A bit close to being LN, but a beloved classic certainly.  Bonus: the long version.

Blondie, "X-Offender" -- not rare either, at this point (quite an AL fave) but BOS2. Shouldabeen a hit.

I'll have to check this out on SoundCloud later -- looks interesting from what was played so far.

This set is going all over the place, except to the top of the charts. Lots of great songs, none of which could be called huge hits, the Lou Rawls probably the closest we've heard so far.  Two thumbs up.
