Ep. 61: American Top 40 in the 80s

Casey Kasem was at the height of his powers as the 1980s began. The countdown show that he launched on July 4, 1970, "American Top 40," was now an international phenomenon and could be heard on over 500 stations around the world. Casey had made rooting for your favorite single's climb up the Billboard charts akin to a sport — would your favorite song be played after the drumroll this week? He even branched out to a Top 10 countdown television show. However, you could also make the case that his success led to his own demise as "American Top 40" attracted competitors, particularly in the form of radio disc jockey Rick Dees. This episode moves beyond the 70s and into 80s, following the changes in the music and the show itself, leading to the end of Casey Kasem's reign as the king of pop music countdowns.

Ep. 60: One-Hit Wonders of the 70s

The 1970s gave us some of the most memorable songs ever recorded and some artists who, for one reason or another, only broke through once. In this episode, we take a closer look at those so-called "one-hit wonders" and the stories behind the songs that stuck. From the laid-back groove of "How Long" by Ace, to the quiet melancholy of "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" by Danny O'Keefe, we explore what made these tracks connect and why they lasted. We'll get into the funk-rock crossover of "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry, the sunny pop of "Sweet City Woman" by The Stampeders, the tight pop classic "Cruel to Be Kind" by Nick Lowe, and the disco smash "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward. And how do you make a hit song about a brief encounter in a Chevy van, anyway? Was it luck? Timing? Skill? A little of all of that? Tune in for a discussion on these classic hits of the 1970s.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
