105.7 KOKZ is your home for Classic American Top 40 every weekend. This Saturday morning Casey Kasem counts down the top songs from July 23rd, 1977, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 from Electric Light Orchestra “Telephone Line”!

The song appears on their A New World Record album and was their biggest single at the time, reaching #7 on the charts (eventually passed by “Don’t Bring Me Down”. “Telephone Line” spent 23 weeks on the charts in ’77 staying a on the Hot 100 a full month longer than any other ELO tunes.

Take a trip back to 1977 with Jeff Lynne and ELO with today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45!
