Every Saturday morning from 9 to noon, 105.7 KOKZ brings you classic American Top 40 the 70’s. This Saturday Casey takes you back to September 27th, 1975, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Jefferson Starship with “Miracles”

“Miracles” was the biggest chart hit for Jefferson Starship, reaching #3 on the charts in ’75. The song appeared on their “Red Octopus” album and was written by Marty Balin. He labored a long time on this particular song and when he presented the song to the rest of the band members, “Everybody went, ‘I don’t know about that. That’s pretty weird, man.’ I was really worried; nobody liked it. But I told myself, after about five days, ‘Maybe they’re wrong.’

It turned out they were. Jefferson Starship “Miracles” today’s Forgotten 45.
