105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend! This Saturday morning from 8 to noon Casey Kasem features the top songs from August 18th, 1979, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Blackfoot with “Highway Song”.

The band out of Jacksonville, Florida had their biggest success in ’79 with their album “Strikes” which was certified platinum and featured the bands only top 40 songs, “”Train, Train”, and “Highway Song” which went to #26 on the Hot 100.

Often compared to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” because of their southern rock sound and long guitar solos, since Waters was saluting truckers this morning on the Waters Wake-Up Call, check out Blackfoot with “Highway Song” it’s today’s Forgotten 45.
