American Top 40 1975 March 29th

American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This recording is a rebroadcast from internet radio.

In this countdown:

There is a song by the only woman in chart history (other than Roberta Flack) to have number one hits in three consecutive years.

Fanny was the first ever all-girl band (according to Casey) and they are at number 30 with "Butter Boy."

Casey tells how the band Earth, Wind & Fire (at number 25 with "Shining Star") got its name.

A listener wants to know what recording act has had number 1 songs on more different labels than anyone else. Casey reports the most phenomenal group in the history of music has had number 1's on four different labels (the first 3 in just three months).

There is a song that only one week earlier became the slowest moving record of the rock era. It finally hit number 1 after three-and-a-half months climbing the hot 100.
