American_Top_40_1976_July_24th torrent

American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This rebroadcast is one of many I have recorded from internet radio. A few are incomplete but most are not and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
In this broadcast:

One song in the countdown is a remake of Motown's first million selling hit.

John Travolta has a song in the top ten.

The current album by one band in this countdown was certified gold on the same day it was released.

One piece of music in the countdown was written by a man who continued to write music after he became deaf.

Casey remembers the artist who was listed on the Hot 100 chart continuously for more than four years.
