@Eileen Moran Sure did seem that things were more rational and normal back then in the late 70s and prior. I'd gladly take a time machine trip back to when I was a very young teenager.

Casey is a legend! He’s very missed! The AT-40 was something I listened to every Sunday morning religiously! Miss this type of radio. ❤😢

I grew up with AT40. What was great about 70s music was how diverse it was. A song from the movie Nashville, Rufus, Laverne and Shirley theme, Parliament, a very wimpy John Travolta, and America.

As an Australian I used to love listening to Casey Kasem, mum had the radio up loud while she did her housework, four hours every Saturday made my weekend. Thanks for the memories.

Was 14 in the summer of ‘76. My first job, Casey on Sundays. I’d go back there in a minute.

Casey kasem was also the voice of shaggy on the Scooby Doo cartoons. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

it was 14 years old..always waiting CK in my radio,

I loved Casey Kasem. Always looked forward to listening to him on Sunday mornings. Really enjoy these videos they make me smile for the great memories,yet they make me sad for the way he treated after his death.

I graduated also in 1976, 70’s had timeless classics, singers could actually sing but music wasn’t manipulated like it is today. Loved Casey Kasem he had a unique voice.❤️

It's so weird being 27 and relating to this. Growing up in the truck my dad would always listen to Sirius radio's 70's channel and they would replay these top 40s on day they lined up with. Hearing Kasem on the radio coming home from the race track at night was a regular thing for me, I enjoyed it

True; when he retired from doing countdowns, radio and music just went downhill quick...

Wow thank you Gary for a really fun afternoon. I always listen to the at40 70d and 80s .. But today I wondered where the 90s and early 2000s were .. After hearing the 1st casey Kasem .. The tube sent me to you .. Very cool

I graduated high school 2 days earlier.

During crewlayovers taped the show in the late 70s for hours in many major cities like LAX ORD JFK YYZ MIA DEN (visiting friends) with miniature FM STEREO/Cassetterecorders, some of which much later digitlised for "eternity", and maybe to be published on YT 😊

I use to have a Casey kasem tape I use to listen to it over and over. I think it was 1976 I remember there was a cow sound on the tape

I haven't heard that America song in literally forever.

Aqui no Brasil curtindo o AmericanTop 40 coisa linda demais.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a local radio station that it used to play the american top 40 even after Casey's passed away but now they stop playing the program 🥺, If anybody knows what radio station or any app I can listen his program again. It was nice to listen to him every Sunday 😊

I used to listen faithfully to AT40 in the 70s & 80s in Singapore. I recall a special edition where Casey did a Top 40 countdown of hits from The Beatles. Does anyone have a link to this specific edition?

1976 Aguadilla Jose de Diego high school memories,,, 🇵🇷👍🤠🌴🌴🌴🌳🌳

I honestly don't remember that Chaka Khan one! I like it, though! The "Laverne & Shirley" single should have left in the "12345678, schlemiel, schlemazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated"-- that's the best part IMHO!

Southern comfort

I had the complete show of 7/4/76, The special Beatles one in 81 and numerous others. Still have many on tape. One day I might be able to transfer them over to cd. Don't know about here. Would you have the two that I mentioned? Miss being able to talk to and hear from Casey.

Im remember in cuba we listen top 40 for wgbs

The chart is easy to find where I look.🙂

This generation missed a lot in the music industry. They listen to nothing but auto tune crap or just plain crap.

Song number 40 sounds like Jim Croce. I'm not easy.

His movie debut was actually a low budget horror movie called The Devil's Rain in 1975.

I was 9 years old, so my parents weren't taking me to see Nashville. "I'm Easy" was just another cheesy, disposable pop song as far as I was concerned. It wasn't until many years later that I could appreciate the context. The scene where Keith Carradine invites all his flings down to hear him debut the song is the point where the film kicks into overdrive and doesn't let up. I don't think today's attention-addled generations could handle sitting through two hours of mostly dialogue to get to that point.

Just #40-#35. Can’t be #40-#1.

40 - I'm Easy, Keith Carradine -- "Nashville" was a great movie 39 - Dance with Me, Rufus with Chaka Khan -- Desperately bad attempt to ride the disco train 38 - Theme from Laverne & Shirley, Cindy Greco - Bouncy, relentlessly upbeat cheese 37 - Tear the Roof Off the Sucker, Parliament - Prince learned a lot from them 36 - Let Her In, John Travolta - Painful pitch problems, terrible song 35 - Today's the Day, America - Tuneless, formless, indifferently executed

Damn, sorry mid 70s kidz (I was one too) but the music of that era sucked hard (w/some notable exceptions) {I mean disco WTF WE'RE WE THINKING? It's a musical era much like the 90s- best left forgotten.
