Interestingly, thanks to the Premiere Radio Networks, this weekend the stations that syndicate a 1970s "American Top 40" every weekend are spotlighting April 1, 1972, the day I was born! I am listening to it right now, albeit over the Internet on a station in Boston--the local station airs it too early (7:00 am Sunday).

Are you referring to a different #1 song each week except for Willie Nelson's Always On My Mind and Jerry Reed's She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)?

August 28, 1986: Higher Love by Steve Winwood

Everyday People by Sly and The Family Stone (in 1969). It has the lyrics "different strokes for different folks", which is where they got the title for the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes from. Yes the show had it's own theme song with the words "diff'rent strokes" in the lyrics but I know I've read the title was taken from the Sly and The Family Stone song. Everyday People is OK but other than that I'm not a fan of the group.

Coincidentally, one year later on my 1st birthday, Sly and The Family Stone again had the number 1 song on the Billboard pop chart, but I can't remember the name of the song right now. I like to research trivial stuff like that LOL. :cool:

No Scrubs by TLC
