American_Top_40_October_3rd,_1987 torrent

American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This rebroadcast is one of many I have recorded from internet radio. A few are incomplete but most are not and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
In this broadcast:

There is an audio history of music from East L. A.
Casey answers the question, "In the rock era, what foreign artists from non-English speaking countries have been the most successful on the American charts?"
Casey also takes a few minutes to explain rap slang.
This chart is the first time in history that a singer has a song in the top 10 while there is another song in the top 10 about him.
Casey tells the story of one artist who is in this countdown and refused to work with Prince when he had the chance.
This coundown contains two songs originally performed by Tommy James and The Shondells.
Casey tells the story of the song that went to number 2, while the record label gave credit to a man who didn't sing it.
And finally, the incomparable Whitney Houston spends a second week at number one.
