EJ + BJK = "Freedom"! BOS to a glorious single, one of those rare 45s that reversed course and moved back up on the chart after beginning its descent.

WOS "Sweet Emotion", I remain baffled as to how this got to be one of the most-(over)played tracks on Classic Rock radio.

"Fast-talkin' mama with a face like a gent", meet the dude who looks like a lady.

BOS6 and proxy-of-Gaz 2: GFR, "Bad Time". One of Bob's best sets in ages.

I never knew this - do you mean, it went to #1, dropped, then rose again; or it charted, slipped, then resurged and became a #1?

So sorry to have missed the JS, GFR, and LZ tracks.  (And Mshray, to have missed your call.)  But I needed my beauty sleep.

No, just a similar situation to Elvis' "Way Down".  "Philly" had been #1, it began falling, dropped out of the Top Ten... and then moved back up a few notches for a couple weeks, after word got out that it would NOT be on his forthcoming LP.
