American pie debuts, passed by Donny Osmond, but we know who wins that one. Donnie’s brothers also are on, as are David Cassidy and Michael Jackson. Yes, The Who, and Van Morrison chart with classics that didn’t exactly light up the charts. Casey also wouldn’t have known that rod stewarts 2 songs would be so popular and he’d have big hits for over 20 more years.
Number one was a surprise, a rather low key song to hit #1 after Cher (who’d hit #1 again in 1999!) and shaft. I’m not sure I’d ever heard it in it’s entirety before.
My favorite has to be Aretha, oh me, oh me oh my!
