105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend! This Saturday morning from 9 to noon, Casey Kasem counts down the top songs from March 11th, 1978, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Jay Ferguson with “Thunder Island”!

It’s the title track and lead single from his album of the same name. “Thunder Island” was his biggest hit, reaching #9 on April 1st, 1978. Often referred to as a one-hit wonder, Jay actually had a second chart hit with “Shakedown Cruise”.

Featuring Joe Walsh on guitar, check out the video to “Thunder Island” by Jay Ferguson, today’s Forgotten 45.
