Wednesday’s Forgotten 45: Ozark Mountain Daredevils

By Jeff Winfield May 1, 2024 | 3:43 PM

105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend!  This Saturday morning at 9 Casey Kasem features the top songs from May 3rd, 1975, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Ozark Mountain Daredevils with “Jackie Blue”.

The band from Springfield, Missouri was a two-hit wonder.  Their debut hit “If You Wanna Get to Heaven” went to #25 on the charts, but the band really is best known for “Jackie Blue”.  The song was a #3 hit in the Spring of 1975 from their album “It’ll Shine When It Shines”.

The band knew that had something special, a commercial song that would “sound good on the car radio”.  Well what do you know, it still sounds good in 2024 as well!

Check out Ozark Mountain Daredevils with “Jackie Blue” today’s Forgotten 45!
