I remember my mom singing doggie in the window.driving with her on her chores I was 7.she even did the barking sounds I looked at her with the puzzled face.God I miss those days 😢
Same story for me in a different town. We had a station with a similae format. Found it as a teenager around 1998 and always enjoyed these songs and style ever since.
Was wondering how CKLW sounded during their K-800 years. They switched to news/talk when I was 3 years old, so I don't remember them being a station that played music. I definitely recognize the first song.
Jeff, you should do some live streams here on your channel playing selections from your record collection of that nice old music, and give your knowledge, like you did back with Gene Martin on the show 🙂 ithat would be awesome.
There a so many airchecks on here that you can keep busy for a long long time listening to them! I would love to do such a show but am afraid the copyright police would not cooperate. You would be surprised what had to be edited out of even the old shows I have on here! Thank you for your kind comments.
@@hansjeffborger8038 I enjoy them them they bring back lots of good memories as I look thru picture albums.Thats another thing that the younger generation won’t have .Unless they look thru old cell phones lol.
Fantastic! The best of the best. Even well into the '60s many of these artists were creating this kind of music and works of art. I don't recall "Hello Detroit" but it's better than "LA Is My Lady" which got more play on the Los Angeles affiliate. No doubt music was more positive and sweeter in those days.
Thankful for this rebroadcast. Great selection of songs with many old favorites. I listened to a 'Music of Your Life' station in Los Angeles in the late '70s-early '80s. What I miss the most are AM stations based on this music in mono with no need for a computer. We had two stations in the area. There was a transmitting antenna a couple of miles south of us you could see at night. We also had a couple of first class classical stations. Most have switched formats like the FM stations and it's hard to find a station worth listening to. Thankfully a lot has been archived and now available for us and future generations. P.S. I remember those "inventor's kit" ads. Lol.
Canada had great talent! Only they all had to go the States to 'make it'. What voices! Even operatic, and obviously well rehearsed. We still have great talent but can stay home a little more and are now internationally known. The most 'beautiful woman' in the world, seen here, was Yvonne DeCarlo was from B.C. Something wrong with the world that doesn't have songs like 'The Eyes of God' anymore.
I’ve been doing a deep dive into this man. When I was a kid, I had an old lady friend who always watched his show. I’d visit her and watch and loved the show. Great memories
My aunt used to sing “Never on a Sunday” to my uncle at family cookouts.they were wonderful together until the end.we played that song at her funeral.He passed 2 years before her since they were together up in heaven it seemed appropriate.❤
This was used as a nursery school on grand River. I went there in 1974. It was a great school! I heard since it was moved to another location…but no record of it.
I grew up watching L Welk ... But then I learned that he fired Alice Lon for showing knees, and fired Cissy and Natalie Nevins .... seems he was a Perfectionist ... and a purest and a demander ....
I watch alot of the reruns of this wonderful show. I played the Accordion for many years as well as the Hammond Organ. Music makes a person happy. It is with sad news that so many of the musicians have passed away. (CA)
Anyone know what ever became of Jim Davis? My grandparents listened to this station, and a couple of bus drivers from back in those days listened as well. That’s where I found out about Jim Davis.
Rest assured it wasn't just seniors who enjoyed WGUL. I enjoyed listening as well. And I found AM 860 when I was fifteen during a during a family trip to St. Petersburg in the summer of 1995. We were beginning to lose our Big Band/standards and beautiful music stations in Ohio by that time. So, it was a real boon to find WGUL proudly serving the Bay area and FM 103.5 WDUV providing instrumentals out of Bradenton, just south of the Bay area. Regrettably, WGUL-AM was sold almost twenty years ago to a religious outfit meaning that the Big Band and standards format is now gone even in the Bay area. And WDUV moved to the Bay area-ironically at FM 105.5, the dial position held by WGUL in this aircheck-and changed its format from beautiful music to something more resembling adult contemporary. The period 2002-05 marked the end of an era for radio along the Suncoast. Thank you for posting these airchecks from a truly great station, WGUL.
I am searching for one tune from what I believe was featured on the Show, from March 3, 1974, the episode is "We Believe in Music" featuring husband and wife, Mary Lou Metzger, and Richard Maloof, in their duet, "Them There Eyes". Any help if you have it would be most appreciated! Thanks!
I spent my summers in the Gaylord area at my parents' cottage and remember WMBN with a lot of fond memories. I remember going to dinner in Petoskey or Charlevoix when we were up on weekends, and coming back to the cottage to listen to the Saturday Night Big Band Dance program.
This broadcast is actually NOT from 1986. It's from Wednesday, September 30, 1987. The news story of Henry Ford II's death the previous day reveals that.
On the syndicated episodes I used to listen to about a decade or so ago, TMOYL would open with the same instrumental song. Sounded like Les Brown, or the like. And it wasn't the same one this one episode opened with. Would you, or anyone, happen to know it? Maybe they had a few different ones they used.
I feel that the format would still be very viable in some markets if there was an investment in it (Naples, FL, Harbor Spring/Petoskey, MI, for example)
Not too sure of that Patrick since the main audience of music from that era has passed. For those of us who didn't grow up in the original years but love the music, I'm glad I have posted dozens of airchecks on my channel to enjoy. Too bad but those days are gone forever...
Be sure to tune into all my MOYL segments here on my channel, many from WLUS. Glad to hear you are "only" 40. I'm pushing 60 and most of my generation never heard of this music!
Thank you for posting this clip. I remember Eddie Hubbard in Chicago in the 1960s and later caught up with his radio shows when he went on Satellite. He was a true gentleman, had a great sense of humor and was well liked by us older people. Also missed are Joe Lacina, Scott Reese and several other DJs who played all of this great music.
