Every Saturday morning from 9 to noon 105.7 KOKZ brings you American Top 40 the 70’s. This Saturday Casey takes us back to June 22nd, 1974, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Steely Dan with “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”.

OK, well it’s not forgotten, but I haven’t played it for awhile and even after 49 years the song sounds great! You’ll find “Rikki” on their album “Pretzel Logic” and the song went on to become Steely Dan’s biggest chart hit, reaching #4 in the Summer of ’74.

Walter Becker & Donald Fagen and the various members of Steely Dan have sold over 40 million albums worldwide and are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Here’s Steely Dan with “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” today’s Forgotten 45.
