This Saturday morning at 9 join 105.7 KOKZ for American Top 40 the 70’s as Casey plays the top songs from February 12th, 1977. Today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 is a song you can hear on the show, from Barry Manilow “Weekend in New England”.

You can thank Facebook for this one, I was served an ad promoting Barry’s last Des Moines concert as he performs at Wells Fargo Arena on August 1st. Does this mean I’m a Fanilow? The song appears on his “This One’s For You” album and was a top ten pop hit, just one of his 51 top 40 hits.

The singer will be 81 when he makes his final appearance in Des Moines this summer, check out a live 1982 performance of “Weekend in New England” by Barry Manilow, today’s Forgotten 45.
