Classic deejay wisecrack from '73: "It's nice to see Mrs. McGovern helping to retire the Senator's campaign debt by making records!" BOS5 Maureen M, after they touched her in the morning to tell her the ship had capsized.

"Rock Roll Fantasy" should've charted higher , it's one of The Kinks best. "Right Down The Line" by Gerry Rafferty was a great followup to "Baker Street". Same goes for Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise" which followuped "Baby Hold On". The most cringe worth, god awful song in this countdown has to be "Think It Over" by Charlie's Angels star Cheryl Ladd (worse than anything John Schneider or Bruce Willis ever recorded!!!). "You" by Rita Coolidge has to be a close second (Rita doing plastic , disco cheese doesn't make it!!!).
Gazoo:
I had forgotten how "Think It Over" sounded; reminded me of Dolly Parton just a touch. Only NTM today is Quincy Jones's "Stuff Like That," which I would have thought was Chaka and Rufus. Interesting trivia from Casey: the Dave Clark Five charted with two different songs called "Everybody Knows." (I've never heard either one.) And for an added bonus, modern-day Casey tracked down the writer and recipient of the very first Long-Distance Dedication, which is in this set.
