From The Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia:

COLEMAN WILDE
Ralph Cole / Doug Wilde
While working on radio and television jingle production in the Harris Cole Wilde company, Ralph Cole (Lighthouse) and Doug Wilde were asked to write and record a song for Australian beer company Foster’s. Ad agency copyright editor Peter Gilboy gave the duo lyrics and they proceeded to write six musical interpretations that competed against other ad agencies. The song “It Doesn’t Matter” won the ad placement. Attic Records came to them to create a a single and the duo expanded the 30 second piece to full length which attained significant airplay under the fictitious name Coleman Wilde. The single would sell nearly 30,000 copies in Canada. With notes from Doug Wilde.

(Remember Me) I'm The One was indeed Lightfoot's first release, and it was a non-album single which peaked at #3 on CHUM. It didn't see an album release until 1971's Early Lightfoot.

There was a time when I'd see dozens of Let's Talk postings on social media from young people that I'm connected with, particularly on Instagram. But those postings have been declining in recent years, and this year only one of my contacts posted anything about it. This year's dreadful ad campaign, which I'm sure I would have found to be both depressing and completely out of touch if I were a young person, certainly wouldn't have helped.

I was in high school from 1973-78 and listened to Rock 102 a lot, as did many of my friends ... and although market research was still in my future, it was obvious from the number of Canadian ads that they were getting a significant number of Canadian listeners. But while I liked the superior sound quality of hearing the hits on FM, I also liked the fact that they were playing songs I wasn't hearing much or at all on Toronto-area radio. An obvious reason for that is that they were playing songs that were making the US top 40 but not the top 10, and so it only made sense that some of those records wouldn't get as much or any airplay here because of the need for our stations to play 30% Cancon. But on top of that, the type of songs that were mentioned earlier didn't get as much or even any airplay on Rock 102. In particular, as someone who didn't like Donny and Marie's songs, I don't recall Rock 102 playing them at all -- I think because they were more oriented towards songs that would benefit more from the "Dolby FM" sound that they regularly mentioned in their IDs.

After it ends, they should keep the stream on iheart radio like they have for classic American top

Yes, I regularly listen to the Classic American Top 40 shows, and I also think that it would be great if iHeart would similarly rotate Roger's shows from the past five years.
 

How about a hit where 2025 is sung in the chorus?


 

When the late Ron Smith (who was also a former DJ) announced in late December 2018 that he would be shutting down his excellent oldiesmusic.com site at the end of the year, it was due to a combination of the cost of running it and the fact that he wanted to move on to other things. I was barely able to get the Oldies Music Board set up in time to notify people on the former board before it disappeared, and so I didn't explore trying to see if there might have been a way of preserving all of the other info on the site somewhere else (aside from what can still be found via archive.org). 
However, when I saw Dale's post I wondered if there might be a way of preserving 440's info, and if the World Radio History site might be a possibility. Turns out that the person who runs that site is already aware of 440's impending closure, and he's going to look into obtaining the info from it ... see message #3 at the link below. I hope that he will be able to do so.

"Timothy" was indeed a hit on Billboard and CHUM in 1971, but it came out in February 1970 and charted in many places that year as well. From one of the comments at 45cat.com:

The chart life in the US of Timothy is one that certainly is out of the ordinary. There are #1 Billboard records whose chart life on the Billboard Hot 100 was 10 weeks or LESS. Timothy spent 17 total weeks on the official Hot #100 not including the gaps where it fell off the chart. It ended 1971 as the #87 song of the year.

Timothy was issued by Scepter in February of 1970 with little or no fanfare and promotion. It immediately was a hit in their hometown of Wilkes-Barre, PA. Every month from then until the end of 1970, it charted in different parts of the US. February and March in PA, April in PA and GA, May in PA, June, July August, and September NY, October UT and CO, November and December in CT and UT (and those are only the locales listed on ARSA chart website). All of this activity without ever entering the Billboard Hot 100.

Finally, on January 2, 1971, it generated enough activity to debut on the Hot 100 at #93. 11 months after it was released. The very next week it fell off the Hot 100....for 4 weeks it did not chart and resurfaced on the 2/6/71 Hot 100 at #100. For only one week. It fell off the chart again for two weeks. It resurfaced again on 2/27/71 at #99. It then started its climb as word of mouth spread about this unconventional disc.

The climb was faster at that point: 99-95-73-67-64-42-41-32-26-17-17-19-19-30-32, losing and gaining its "bullet" many times. Definitely the most talked about record in 1971...

The disc was never "resissued." it was simple matter of different parts of the country started playing the disc which generated the sales. This will always be one of my favorite 70s records.

Thanks. Last night I had also thought of Wally and Glenn Crouter, but by the time I posted I could only remember the names that I posted. I guess that like madness, late nights also take their toll (and ironically because I had been busy with finding some info about my ancestors for my sister).

To be fair, it's a British term and isn't used in Canada very much, especially not by anyone under 50. Most of CP24's audience wouldn't know what a spanner is.

I agree. I'm certainly familiar with it, but I try to avoid using idiomatic expressions that I figure a lot of people wouldn't know and this definitely falls into that category.

I'm certainly not one to defend Coulter, and I would agree that she was wrong to say that Canada was part of the Vietnam War. However, there were a significant number of Canadians who volunteered to serve in the US forces during the war, and I wonder if she might have conflated that with the idea that we were involved as a country.

It just came up as a suggestion for me on the iHeart app ... although I'm not an Adams fan, I gave it a listen for a few minutes and it looks like it features plenty of music by other artists. First song I heard was Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", followed by "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" by Spin Doctors and then Adams' "State of Mind".

A far cry from the days when Pierre Berton and Charles Templeton used to engage in a short but thoughtful debate every day.

I remember hearing those debates in the car when my dad was driving.  Was it on CKEY?  Even to a kid with no interest in politics, it was compelling and entertaining radio.  A far cry from the dumbed-down dreck of today, indeed.
 

They were on CFRB.

They were political opposites, but their discussions were always repectful and polite.

CFRB also had Bob Hesketh with "The Way I See It." 

I remembered Berton and Templeton being on CKEY, so I did some searching ... I found that their debate show Dialogue aired on CFRB from 1966 to 1970, when I would have been too young to really be aware of them or at least remember them. They then moved to CKEY, where they continued doing their show until 1984.
