    Paul Davis also did "Little Bit of Soap" (but I guess you knew that)

    Sweet Life

    I wasn't sure which version of "Little Bit of Soap" I remembered from my youth but did see Paul Davis did it.

    Sweet Life is what I was looking for.

    Sometimes music keeps me young. But I just got done listening to AT40 from Aug. 2, 1975. Easy math. 50 years and a month ago. 50 years! Sometimes I listen and they're just songs from when I was younger. Doesn't seem THAT long ago. But nearly all of the songs in that countdown, I could attach to some memory: what album I bought (and where I bought it), what K-tel 8 track it was on, who I was hanging out with, what class I was in, who I was dating, my transistor radio, the local swimming pool, friends… Somehow the music takes you back and 50 years wasn't that long ago.

    James Taylor + Jackie Gleason = (song)

    My first thought was That's Rock and Roll

    Just to confirm, I looked it up. I was right and discovered that Eric Camen also wrote Hey Deanie.

    I didn't know that.

    I didn't know that either until I heard it on AT40.

    Stuck With You?

    As in, "I am stuck on Band-Aid brand cause Band-Aid stuck on me."

    And I messed the jingle up too🤥
