105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend! This Saturday morning at 9, Casey plays the top tunes from February 26th, 1972, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Carly Simon with “Anticipation”.

The title track from her 1971 album, Carly said she wrote the song in 15 minutes while waiting for Cat Stevens to pick her up for a date! The song reached #13 on the charts and ended up the 72nd most popular song of 1972, and her album “Anticipation” earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Female Vocalist.

The song might be best remembered for it’s use in Heinz ketchup commercials, something Carly didn’t mind, she thought it was “well done and funny”.

Check out the great Carly Simon with “Anticipation” today’s Forgotten 45.
