An image of the 45 RPM vinyl record of “Fly into Love”, by Charly McClain released on Epic Records from her album, “Paradise” in 1983. It’s been my hobby to collect 45 RPM singles. Listening to “American Country Countdown” with Bob Kingsley way back then somehow made the songs of that era even more special to me. It was always so fascinating to hear the stories behind the song and about the artists, what position your favorite song was in, etc. Bob had such a unique way of speaking about it all. However, I couldn’t help but often be disappointed with my favorite songs not going higher on the countdown. I think this song should have at least been a Top 10.
