(Same on Both Sides) An image of the 45 RPM vinyl promo record of “Dear Me”, by Lorrie Morgan released from her “Leave the Light On” album on RCA Records. After ten+ years in the business, this was her very first Top 10 hit! I played this song a lot back then. It was in our highest rotation for several weeks at AM 650 KYAK, the station I worked for (1987-1991) and had listened to since childhood.

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.

An image of the 45 RPM vinyl record of “Smooth Sailin’”, by T.G. Sheppard released on Warner Brothers Records as the title track of his album in 1980. I got a bike radio for my birthday back then. Whenever I especially hear this song, it takes me back to those days of riding my bike and listening to my favorite radio station, AM 650 KYAK, which I landed a job there 7 years later. The station no longer exists but the memories sure do! 🎼
