TOP 40 COUNTDOWN
APRIL 24, 1976! As we like to say, every countdown takes on unique aspects not included at other times in the Top 40 era. This weekly review has a higher than usual number of songs which at that time were holdovers from late 1975. Considering the date of this countdown, that is a bit unusual. Peter Frampton, the Ohio Players, Glen Campbell and more from this week in '76! |

THE JACK GALE COLLECTION - SHOW #5
He began his radio career in 1944. He stayed in the business until the Lord took him home in 2018 at the age of 92. Jack Gale was not just one of the most creative disc jockeys in Top 40 history, he was a great friend and mentor. We include another of his 33 programs produced especially for Ultimate Oldies Radio as a bonus selection this week.
As Jack would say...'Whether you have your own teeth or not, keep smiling!' |
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!
THE TOP 40 SELLING SINGLES OF 1962! As much as any other year in the rock era, '62 was the year of the dance. The Mashed Potato, Watusi, and Locomotion all came to be. Thanks to American First Lady Jackie Kennedy (pictured left at the White House), we also saw the revival of the Twist. Listen now and head back to 1962 with UOR!
