Do you remember the days of the old school yard? How about getting your first place and having the telephone man put in a new telephone line? You otherwise probably had to be your own handy man back then. In 1977, being able to take a jet airliner down to Margaritaville meant you were livin’ the life. It’s easy for those memories to fade like smoke from a distant fire, but don’t worry baby, we’re gonna give a little bit of a reminder so those memories don’t slide way on down. This week we float on through the Billboard top 40 for the week ending August 6, 1977, and don’t stop early at the very end, the editor may have inserted just a song before I go. Link to a listing of the songs in this week’s episode: https://top40weekly.com/1977-all-charts/#US_Top_40_Singles_Week_Ending_6th_August_1977 Data Sources: Billboard Magazine, where the charts came from and on what the countdown was based.Websites: allmusic.com, songfacts.com, wikipedia.com (because Mark’s lazy)Books: “Ranking the 70’s” by Dann Isbell, and Bill Carroll“American Top 40 With Casey Kasem (The 1970’s)" by Pete Battistini.Rejected Episode Titles:I Just Want To Be Your BarracudaTelephone LinemanI’m In You BarracudaLooks Like We Made It EasyKnowing Me Knowing Black BettyDo You Remember the Days of the Old Jetliner?Things we talked about in the episode:Album ArtGive a Little Bit: https://www.discogs.com/master/25381-Supertramp-Even-In-The-Quietest-Moments/image/SW1hZ2U6OTUyODM3MQ==Knowing Me, Knowing You: https://www.discogs.com/master/5649-ABBA-Arrival/image/SW1hZ2U6MjU3NDc0NzA=Barracuda: https://www.discogs.com/master/106530-Heart-Little-Queen/image/SW1hZ2U6OTE2NjQ4NA==My Heart Belongs to Me: https://www.discogs.com/release/1489968-Barbra-Streisand-Streisand-Superman/image/SW1hZ2U6MTQ0NzUyODQ=  Hosted on Acast.
