Sound of the City KSFO San Francisco 

I all of sudden felt much younger for a moment listening to this; remembering Jim Lange, Gene Nelson, Carter B. Smith, Scott Beach and Sunday Sounds(?)... when KFSO was a station to listen to, not what it is today....

great radio station. beautiful little song.

I last heard this on the air in March, 1972. This is when radio was radio.

Best radio station jingle ever.

I have always loved the words to this song and the melody. It really was the "sound of the city!"--and the heart!

So beautiful. Brings back so many memories.

OMgosh; such a wave of nostalgia just overwhelmed me! A little embarrassed to say I have tears in my eyes!

Brings tears to my eyes!

Unbelievably great choral composition. And to think it’s a radio station jingle. Those were the days.

The voices wrap themselves around you like a blanket against the chill. "When darkness settles on The City, homeward people on their way..."

oh yes remember this very well

Can't believe I remembered all of the lyrics

This is an indelible part of my childhood. And a pretty damned nice song, well sung. Good to hear it again.

...a very familiar tune...haven't heard it for quite a long time...!

Thank you for sharing! Made me Misty. We were a KSFO family!

Home.

Oddly I heard this first in Minneapolis/St. Paul on KSTP in the late 60s. Then I moved to SF and heard the SF version.

I am listening while I am typing, such a joy! Thank you for this treat...Excuse me, Don just walked in the studio, just a little late this morning!! KSFO....San Francisco, the sound of The City.!!

I worked at KSFO as an assistant to Jack Carney in the 60's. It was the #1 AM radio station in SF for years. This jingle is one of many class acts they produced. And so many by the talented Mel Torme. Check out, soundcloud.com/david-ferrell-jackson/ksfo-mel-torme-strand

I remember the San Diego version of this for KOGO sung by the Johnny Mann singers. Wish I could find that version. Nostalgia deluxe.

Those 3 people must be from LA!

Like a cornball alma mater song.
