American Top 40 - March 24th, 1984

One of our local radio stations plays a vintage episode every Sunday morning. I listen to it in the car as I'm doing various shopping/errands and it has brought tears to my eyes a few times. The real kickers are the long distance dedications.

The one I really remember is the listener whose cat died, and wrote in to request "Don't Cry Out Loud" by Melissa Manchester. I almost drove off the road laughing at that one. But others have been really sad and/or moving.

There's a SiriusXM channel that plays the top 40 from the current month in a year in the 1960s. Kind of fun for us eldergays. Oldies stations rarely play anything but the top five or 10 hits from any year ... they never do a deep dive into songs that were not as popular, but often memorable.

Channel 7, the '70s channel, plays Casey's weekly top 40 radio countdowns.
