DRC Madness #41: Best #1 Song of the 70s

[scotchandcigar]

I definitely like this song, don't know how I missed it in my list.

There are plenty of songs I like too which I did not list.

Not me. I listed (or rather, I left on the list) all the songs I liked.

Not me. I listed (or rather, I left on the list) all the songs I liked.

And your input is factoring into the ordering while my and sad's are not.

5 more to come this evening ....

 

[Channel98]

"S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!," sang the Bay City Rollers. Dan Ingram, from 1961 to 1982 the afternoon DJ at WABC in New York, put together his own version of the song – and spelling didn't count.

In my earliest memories of hearing radio in our family car, it was WABC with Dan Ingram. When a new hit song premiered, after the song played they had a canned jingle "Instant Replay...Replay...replay...", followed by repeating the song.

 

[Channel98]

Here is a telescoped aircheck of Chuck Leonard on WABC in 1969 – and it includes that "instant replay" jingle (at the 1:58 mark).

[Madison]

Thanks for playing the chime.
I always liked the WABC chime. Never heard that anywhere else on my stations. Then imagine hearing it as a little boy from 1000 miles away and it has stayed with me all this time.

I'm enjoying this countdown – but I keep expecting IRBS to say "And now, here is the first number-one hit by a young man who got his start singing while he shined shoes on a street corner in Philadelphia."
