At the 6 minute mark, there is a jingle before the Charlie Tuna ID. Who did that jingle? What is that jingle called? I have heard it on several oldies stations.

[ChuckJPC]

Likely the Johnny Mann singers

@porterhousey It's the five-tone "WLS" calls jingle created for the Chicago station by composer Anita Kerr in the early 1960s. The original version was acapella, but they later commissioned Dallas-based jingle house PAMS to produce versions with a music background, and asked them to keep the five-tone tune for "W-L-S." Soon other stations began using the WLS way of singing the call letters, and it became very common. It's still heard on a lot of stations today.

The funny thing about the BOSS RADIO format was that in PHILLY WIBG switched to the Drakes format in 1968 & was never known as BOSS RADIO because rival station WFIL went by that name. WIBG was always known as the BIG 99 & had the BIG 30 during the 18 month run with the Drakes format. CKLW also was known as THE BIG 8 with a BIG 30 never a boss 30.

@ChuckJPC - You are so right! I forgot about this song until now. I am going to share it with all my friends. Love the time frame I grew up in musically as a teen (1963-1969).

@securitycat11 Yes L.A. was so awesome back then.I grew up just a mile east of Downtown LA in Boyle Heights and all these jingles took me back to my childhood. Me and all my brothers sitting on te front porch hearing 93KHJ and waiting for the "HelmsMan" truck to pass with fresh glaze doughnuts. lol My Dad working on his car in front the house,and all of us riding our bikes up and down the street.Great sweet memories. My old neighborhood looks like a shithole these days. So sad.

I remember almost all these songs remember Cam Nelson on boss city Sat nights she is a weather girl on northwest news and she is still a stone cold fox.

I even remember the signing off of KFWB the first station in LA for rock.

LA was great then !

The Big 8 in Detroit, CKLW (actually it was out of Windsor but called itself the Motor City) was the midwest version of KHJ. If you grew up in Michigan like I did or in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and parts of western New York, you listened to CKLW's 50,000 watts. I even listened to their 20/20 news which has its own personalities. Ladies and gentleman, the beat goes on, CKLW the Motor City.
