Every Saturday morning from 9 to noon 105.7 KOKZ brings you American Top 40 the 70’s! This weekend, Casey Kasem features the top songs from November 17th, 1973, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from the legendary Paul Simon with “Loves Me Like a Rock”.

One of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters in American history, Paul Simon began performing with his friend from school Art Garfunkel and as Simon & Garfunkel made their mark on the music world right up until their breakup in 1970.

In the 70’s Paul hit the top 40 charts ten different times, hitting #1 with “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” and #2 twice, with “Kodachrome” and “Loves Me Like Rock”, a song that was kept from the top of the charts by Cher with “Half Breed”.

The winner of 16 Grammy Awards and a music icon, it’s Paul Simon with “Loves Me Like a Rock” today’s Forgotten 45.
