KBEQ-FM started out as KBEY-FM in November 1960, playing easy listening and Big Band music. In 1970, they changed to an "underground/progressive" format, then in August 1973 changed its call letters to KBEQ and spent twenty years as a Top 40 station. They switched to country in 1993, and have been a country station since. Here’s their Top Ten from May 22, 1975.
10 – Tony Orlando & Dawn, “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You)”
9 – Ace, “How Long”
8 – Elton John, “Philadelphia Freedom”
7 – Queen, “Killer Queen”
6 – Ozark Mountain Daredevils, “Jackie Blue”
5 – Freddy Fender, “Before The Next Teardrop Falls”
4 – America, “Sister Golden Hair”
3 – Michael Martin Murphey, “Wildfire”
2 – B. J. Thomas, “(Hey, Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song”
1 – John Denver, “Thank God I’m A Country Boy”
You can find this as a playlist here. That’s Top Ten Tuesday for May 23, 2023.

Holy smokes! B. J. Thomas looks like an old boyfriend I had back in the 80s. I enjoyed all these songs

We had great music in the mid-’70’s, didn’t we? Even disco wasn’t bad…

There sure are. Be great to return to those days, wouldn’t it (but just for a minute or two…)

End of my junior year in college, John. I think I heard “Killer Queen” on the radio all summer while working for the Post Office. I know all of these and really like several. Too bad we lost Freddy Mercury and John Denver before they could make more music.

Think about it: We had no inkling what would happen to either of them back then.

Well, I didn’t choose him (that would be the listeners of KBEQ in 1975), but I’ll take credit!
