The Snake is legendary!  Also dug "Show & Tell" for its grammatical fussiness: "This is the soul / Of which you've taken control."

Barry Scott paid tribute to Al tonight with his final Top 40 charter, "I've Got a Feeling (We'll Be Seeing Each Other Again)."

I was listening to a tape of an "AT40" March 1974 countdown. Casey's intro to "Show & Tell" mentioned that song was originally released by Johnny Mathis, but it flopped.  Then Al had the big hit wit it.
