42 years ago today, May 5, 1984, Earl Thomas Conely debuted at #59 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Angel in Disguise”. It went on to peak at #1 and spent a total of 21 weeks on the chart.

It’s been my hobby to collect 45 RPM records throughout the decades. This was Earl Thomas Conley’s 4th single release and the 4th straight #1 from the album, “Don’t Make it Easy for Me”. 🎵 🎸 🎧

47 years ago today, May 5, 1979, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band entered the Top 40 of Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles chart at #39 with “Old Time Rock & Roll”. It went on to peak at #28 and spent a total of 5 weeks in the Top 40.

When doing research for this song I was in disbelief that it wasn’t a Top 10 single and not even a Top 20 for that matter – WHAT? Perhaps it being the 4th single from the album had something to do with that.

It seems everyone is talking about Mother's Day, and rightly so. But for those of us who have lost our mom, it can be painful. My mom passed away in 2014, and I miss her more than words.

So, to those of you who are mourning the loss of your mom, I know what you're going through and how painful it can feel, especially when this time of year arrives.

Thanks for posting this! It always puts a smile on my face! I had just returned from a trip with my mom & little brother to Greece. I hadn't listened to American radio for about 6 weeks.

It was awesome to be home & listening to my favorite radio station 650 KYAK. When I heard this song for the first time, I couldn't believe my ears! I loved it & wanted to hear it again!

For those who perhaps aren't familiar with her music since the RCA days. Please check this out...

40 years ago today, May 3, 1986, Dolly Parton debuted at #67 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Tie Our Love (In a Double Knot)”. It went on to peak at #17 and spent a total of 15 weeks on the chart.

One of her fastest tempo songs of her career! I was glad RCA decided to release it as the 4th single from the 1985 album, “Real Love”.
