When I was 11 years old, I LOVED my K-Tel Music Express album! Captain & Tennile! Elton John! Ozark Mountain Daredevils! 10cc! Jigsaw! Seriously, I wore that copy out on my terrible record player. The album also featured today’s Forgotten 45 by Sammy Johns “Chevy Van”!

The song was a hit back in 1975 and reached #5 and can be heard again on American Top 40 the 70’s this Saturday morning from 9 until noon. Try as I might, I could not find a live performance of Sammy singing this song…so you can enjoy a quick look at Ktel instead!

The Forgotten 45 is sponsored by Pro Wall Construction, they are seeking individuals with skills in finish carpentry, sheet rock, and finishing. They need experienced and semi-experienced workers. Call (641) 696-5919, veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
