This historic episode of American Top 40, airing on August 6, 1988, marked Casey Kasem's final show as host before his first retirement. The show featured Steve Winwood's "Roll With It" at #1, with Richard Marx's "Hold On To The Nights" and Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" following closely behind.
At the end of the show, Casey Kasem signed off with these words: "I'm Casey Kasem. For American Top 40, I'm saying thanks for the memories and keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."
