"Second Hand Rose" (Kasem's Bonus Track)
Original Broadcast: Sep. 5, 1970
Rebroadcast: Sep. 4, 2010

LEAD-IN:
My name's Casey Kasem, and this is American Top 40. It's time now for an oldie by the big star who claims her husband fell in love with her because she reminded him of a combination of his two favorite people, movie star Sophia Loren and ex-football player, Y.A. Tittle. The two met when each was on the brink of stardom. He was an accomplished singer, actor, dancer and she was Miss Marmelstein in the show I Can Get It For You Wholesale and she was stopping the show every night with her number.

Her husband was in the show, too, and he remembers not having enough nerve at first  to ask her for a date. But he got over that obviously, and even got around to asking her to marry him, which went to show what a great eye he had for talent and beauty. Well, there was nothing wrong with her taste either, because she consented to becoming Mrs. Elliott Gould before she went on to become one of the biggest stars ever to hit Broadway, films and television. Now, with her hit from 1965, here's Mrs. Elliott Gould, Barbra Streisand.

LEAD-OUT:
There's an American Top 40 extra, an oldie by Barbra Streisand called Second Hand Rose.

Remember listening to Casey Kasem on the radio each week back in the 1970s? His original "American Top 40" broadcasts are once again in syndication on radio stations across the U.S. Barbra Streisand, who owned the charts during the 1970s was included among the artists who received air play during Kasem's shows on most weeks.

This week's "American Top 40" rebroadcast celebrated the hits of August 27, 1977 and included a classic Streisand single. This was Kasem's introduction to the track:
 

Now (as then), "AT-40" airs on weekends, usually Saturday nights or Sunday mornings. Visit Radiotime for stations and broadcast times. Of course, Barbra's music wasn't featured on every show, but if she did occupy a top-40 spot on the charts that particular week, you'll enjoy discovering which of her 1970s singles made the cut.

Just like the good old days.
