Caption reads: Guaranteed to blow your mind...The Rubberband Man...Jim Elliott 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Jim had previously worked at WRKO / Boston before coming to the Nation's Capitol where he initially did late nights at WRC. He then became the Program Director and did afternoons at WEAM.

He would eventually inherit the Morning Show at WPGC following, 'The Great Strike (That Struck Out)' in May of 1977. His on-air partners at various times included 'Bob Raleigh' (#5 - Bill Miller) and the 'quite lovely' Don O'Dea. In the Summer of 1978, he was first paired up with Scott Woodside who arrived from WQXI in Atlanta.

'Elliott & Woodside' had a natural chemistry that stuck a reasonant chord with listeners to such an extant, their show was exported to sister station, KFMK in Houston, albeit on tape a day later.

Failing to beat them ratings wise, ABC made the team an offer too good to say no to with salaries so high it exceeded even what 'Harden & Weaver' at WMAL were making, resulting in Elliott & Woodside' leaving WPGC in late December, 1981 for mornings at Q107.

As Music Director while at WPGC, Jim broke many songs first in the Nation such as Hall & Oates', 'Rich Girl', Rose Royce's, 'Car Wash' and Foreigner's, 'Feels Like the First Time'. The Spinners' current hit at the time was, 'The Rubberband Man'. They would later be one of the headliners at the WPGC 'Toys For Tots' concert in December, 1981.

The initial single off the album , 'Crazy On You' was a modest hit, peaking at #35. It's follow up, 'Magic Man' was the breakthrough hit they were hoping for. Written by the Wilson sisters, the tune was semi-autobiographical as Ann later revealed the 'magic man' was indeed Mike Fisher whom she had fallen madly in love with, to the extent as if she was under his spell, hence the title. While the song made it to #9 on the Hot 100, it spent its fourth of four consecutive weeks at #1 on the WPGC Musicradio survey on 10/16/76. See enlargement.

After nine years together, Ann and the 'magic man' parted ways. Nancy and Roger did the same. By 1979, both the Fishers were out of the band. In subsequent years, Heart has gone on to sell over 35 million records and have 20 Top 40 singles, two of which hit #1 nationally as well as 7 Top Ten albums. With their LPs of the '70's, '80's, '90's & '10's, Heart has the longest span of Top Ten LPs of a female fronted band in Rock history. 2009 saw them win the ASCAP Founder's Award in recognition of their songwriting and in 2013 they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, this in addition to the star they received on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.
