Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Some notes:
( 1) 2. IT'S STILL ROCK & ROLL TO ME - BILLY JOEL **
would have been the correct pick had they picked the 07/26 countdown
(38) 34. TULSA TIME / COCAINE - ERIC CLAPTON AND HIS BAND
This is a double song in the countdown. Back in 1980 they only played "Cocaine" on the radio where I was. On the VJ Big 40 they played only "Tulsa TIme". Alan Hunter back introed it as only "Cocaine". Another VJ40 screwup.
(53) 36. YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN (YOU & I) - AMBROSIA
Another diatribe about needless () by Marc Goodman.
