#AT40 thanks everyone. See you Saturday!

#AT40 in addition to Barrys singles like this one, I still like the medley of his commercials he’d written. A great performer.

#AT40 The random pickers at the Wheel of Casey have picked a disco infested week. But I’m here anyway so let’s go (and Jackson Browne a good start)!

#AT40 I cannot complain about this Countdown any more. My Maria is another forgotten classic(with some pretty good cover versions too).

#AT40 A-a-Angie! three great ones in a row! This Countdown suddenly got a lot better.

#AT40 Ahh! Now DR with the very much underrated Touch Me In the Morning. I’m feeling much better!

#AT40 Maybe I’m just cranky today, but Saturday Night’s AFF is the first song on this countdown that’s among my faves.

#AT40 Don’t remember this ChiLites song at all. So I’ll just wish it were the great Have You Seen Her instead.

#AT40 whew! Almost missed the Partridge Family! (Missed the live Countdown today but am going back to catch what I missed!) See you all next week!

#AT40 with due respect to Archie/Edith and Mary Hopkin I thought at first the words were “Gone Are the Days” not Bangladesh!!!

#AT40 The Beach Boys and then the Beatles. The 60s were alive in 1976!

#AT40 Even though our family dog died that summer (or maybe because) I really liked Shannon. Backing vocals, change of key, etc.

#AT40 Turn the Beat Around is an exception to my dislike of Disco. Liked it then and still.

#AT40 LRB! A bright spot in this Countdown!

#AT40 not my favorite of his but in the late 70s we took whatever Elton we could get.

#AT40 wasn’t Baker Street, but always good to hear Gerry Rafferty

#AT40 that was a nice LDD. Followed by Barry!

#AT40 Hmm. I liked Dim All the Lights. Disco must be dying if a bland music lover like me was starting to like it!

#AT40 Sigh. Disco. first, last weeks top 3 Then, 40 more disco laden songs. But you know I’m here for the duration anyway! Let’s go!

#AT40. Donna Summer does a nice job. But the Richard Harris original is the best.

#AT40 a Manilow LDD! This Countdown got better.

#AT40 okay! Barry’s here to rescue this Countdown! (For me,anyway!)

#AT40 Time Passages is okay, but I can’t help wishing it was the classic Year of the Cat.

#AT40 belatedly reporting for duty(good excuse—babysitting!)

#AT40 my main objection to Alone Again is that it became the Number One song of 1972, at the expense of the rightful song: the far superior, classic.American Pie. See you all next week!

#AT40 Backstabbers and Smiling Faces Sometimes: same warning, two good songs!

#AT40 Not my favorite of his, but ANY Elton is good Elton!

#AT40 Run to me is completely forgotten, but was right up there with their best.

#AT40 City of New Orleans is a great song. Lyrics are exceptional .

#AT40 1972,great time; in college, but remember (and liked better) the original Sealed With A Kiss from Brian Hyland

#AT40 Barry M as a great outro. See you all Saturday!

#AT40 Elton, a favorite Eagles, and now Barry! Life is good!

#AT40 Someone Saved is an underrated (if that’s even possible!) Elton classic.

#AT40 And speaking of Neil S, Solitaire is yet another of his classics.

#AT40 Neil Sedaka could still write ‘em!

#AT40 I’m already sadly sensing more early Disco than I anticipated, but I’m gonna stick it out!

#AT40 Thanks everybody! See you Saturday!

#AT40 now the PFamily! Maybe let’s replay this wonderful Countdown on Saturday!

#AT40 Smokey’s best . What a Countdown!

#AT40 Your Song. My favorite. Best song of all time. My father/daughter dance at two weddings.

#AT40 Four Tops and Supremes together( even w/o DR)!!! Early 70s is the best 70s!!!!

#AT40 even this old DR&Supremes fan forgot how much he liked Remember Me.

#AT40 everybody still likes Mr. Bojangles. Simply a great song.

#AT40 No one can top the Ronettes version. An all-time Glenn fave.

#AT40 Elton a worthy follow up to a great Countdown. See you all Thursday!

#AT40 Thought Dickie Lees 1962 Patches was the saddest song in the world when I was growing up. Clarence Carter’s Patches is right up there with it.

#AT40 DR! Enough said!👏👏👏

#AT40 From earlier in 1970 Make Me Smile was my all time favorite Chicago. 25 or 6 to 4 a very worthy follow up! Great year for music!

#AT40 Supremes (both with and without DR) great to hear.

#AT40 1970 unfortunately too early for BarryM (except maybe his commercial jingles) but early 70s is the best70s!
