When I was in Basic Training at Fort Knox in the late 60's they'd play WLS on the radio that was in the mess hall.I still remember standing in the freezing cold waiting for breakfast and listening to WLS.
amazing...back then kids would even sing-a-long to the jingles...so the flow was non-stop...jingles to song..to jingles..etc..etc...love it...miss it! thanks for uploading such great jingles and helping bring back some absolutely wonderful mems........ty..ty
Wow thanks for is post. I definitely remember these little jingles from the early '60s growing up in Chicago. Really something how something this small can put you in a nice frame of mind remembering a happy period of life.
Notice that the weather jingles have a musical bed with no singing in the middle, for the DJ to do a short live forecast. That meant the on-air guys had to become familiar with how much time they'd have to speak when they played these.
Used to listen to Art Roberts back during the folk song scare. Had a show from 10 til midnight on Sundays with the latest in folk music. Loved Chicago in the 60's. Especially Old Town.
fantastic video and some of the all-time best jingles heard on radio. the anita kerr singers were incredibly skilled in singing those tight harmonies. I love the radar weather eye jingle with that repeating effect at the end... "in chicago-go-go-go-go" and the guitar plucking out those notes. thanks for posting this!
The Anita Kerr jingles from WLS of the early sixties are by far my favorite radio jingles of all time. There is one by the Anita Kerr Singers that begins with something like "take us along, bring your radio". It was usually played late at night and on the weekends due to its' length, I assume. If there is a way to obtain a copy of all the Anita Kerr Singers WLS jingles, I would like to know.
Thanks for posting this. It brings back memories like it was yesterday. It's sad those times are gone.
