Episode 103: The Week Ending July 3, 1976: (The Fourth of July’s Number One Records 1937-1976)

This week Casey Kasem takes us on a sentimental journey as AT40 takes us through the number one songs on the 4th of July’s from the Bicentennial back to 1937. Along with Casey’s recap of the top news stories of each year, Pete and Mark provide a little personal family history detailing their family’s American journey. This particular AT40 was recorded from the WPIX FM broadcast on July 3, 1976 and includes news, weather, sports, and commercials from that day.
