American Country Countdown - October 6th 1973

American Country Countdown 

October 6th 1973 with Don Bowman.  

This was the very first episode of ACC, even though Don doesn't really make a note of that, and makes it sound like it's just another episode.  

Ray Price hit #1 for the very last time, with a song that would be a hit for Gladys Knight on AT40 the following year.  

This show also features several "Future Hits" that were just outside the 40 or brand new, like Charlie Rich's future #1. 

Songs have been clipped to avoid copyright violations.
