105.7 KOKZ is your home for Classic American Top 40 shows every weekend! This Saturday morning at 9, Casey counts down the top songs from 50 years ago on February 2nd, 1974, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Paul McCartney & Wings with “Helen Wheels”.

Their “Band on the Run” album is celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary, and to this date, it remains McCartney’s most popular album and most celebrated post-Beatles work. With hits like “Jet”, and the title track, the album went on to sell over 6 million copies worldwide.

“Helen Wheels” wasn’t originally included on the album, but at the request of the record label, they added to the American version of the LP and the song went on to be a top 10 hit.

Named after Paul & Linda’s Land Rover, check out “Helen Wheels” today’s Forgotten 45.
