I own Blondie's "Parallel Lines" now, but I didn't need to right away. I heard it played over and over again in every record store I hung out in at the time. #AT40

a man in a red sweater holds a microphone in his hand Alt: Casey Kasem Presents: The R&B Hits of 1974 (49:30 tight hour – with talk-ups and backtimed flow) [00:00] OPEN “Hi, this is Casey Kasem… and for the next hour, we’re turning back the clock to 1974—a year when soul music got smoother, deeper, and started laying down the foundation for disco. From Philadelphia to Miami, these were the songs that defined the sound of R&B radio. Let’s get started…” #6 Rock Your Baby – George McCrae ⏱️ Talk-up: “From Miami, Florida—a record that helped spark the disco explosion before anyone even called it that…” [03:40] SEGUE “That smooth groove helped open the door for a whole new sound. And one city that perfected that sound in ’74… was Philadelphia. [03:55] #5 🎵 TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) – MFSB featuring The Three Degrees ⏱️ Talk-up: “The house band of Philly International Records—and their signature sound…” [07:45] #4 🎵 Then Came You – Dionne Warwick & The Spinners ⏱️ Talk-up: “A superstar pairing—one of pop’s most elegant voices, and one of soul’s smoothest groups…” 11:05] SEGUE + MINI STORY “In 1974, soul music wasn’t just about dancing—it was about feeling good, slowing things down… and sometimes just being thankful for what you had.” [11:20] #3 🎵 Be Thankful for What You Got – William DeVaughn ⏱️ Talk-up: “A laid-back groove that became an anthem… with one of the coolest opening lines in R&B…” 15:05] MID-SET BREAK “You’re listening to the R&B hits of 1974. I’m Casey Kasem. Coming up, the Queen of Soul—and a love song that took its time… and made it count.” [15:20] #2 🎵 Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do) – Aretha Franklin ⏱️ Talk-up: “Written years earlier—but when Aretha recorded it, she made it completely her own…” [18:45] SEGUE “From Detroit to Los Angeles, soul music in ’74 had another side—lush, romantic, and orchestrated to perfection…” [19:00] #1 🎵 Love’s Theme – Love Unlimited Orchestra ⏱️ Talk-up: “An instrumental that said it all, from —Barry White…”

2) ChatGPT then suggests: "If you want, I can:
turn this into a Casey Kasem-style 1974 R&B hour,
go deeper cuts only, or
build a grittier Southern soul vs. Philly soul showdown. I pick Casey. See Alt-text #AT40

Holy shit. I just listened and I'll be damned...
Probably heard that song 1,000 times, maybe more. Never really picked up on that tapping. It was just laying there under the groove and that amazing voice.
Wow
#AT40 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I'll never understand why the song is called Dueling Banjos when it's a duel between a guitar and a banjo. #AT40

Remember #AT40, if its broad mouth is closed and you can't see any teeth, it's actually Alligator Rock.

Listening to the 70s channel with Bobby Watman doing his polyester fiesta while watching march madness with the tv muted. It’s been a rough year+ but I appreciate the #at40 crew and am happy to be able to enjoy some peace and happiness when it is available. Stay safe and happy everyone.

The back story

Cher turned down "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" because she was worried it would be "too controversial"? "Half Breed" and "Dark Lady" Cher? I don't know if I buy that story, Casey Kasem. But I'm glad Vicki Lawrence got to sing it because she sounds more southern. #AT40
