One of the original Boss Jocks, the legendary Don Steele is heard puking his way through another fractiously tight show! Puking – thats what we in the business say about this kind of approach to 60s dj patter… you just have to listen if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Actually, its kind of a compliment used to describe RDS. Steele is remembered as one of the greatest jocks in L.A. radio history, along with Robert W. Morgan… together they helped propel KHJ to the top of the heap in 1967. Radio was just not done like this back then!
You get 17 minutes of pure KHJ heaven here, in an original AIRCHEXX recording you won’t hear elsewhere. It starts with a generous helping of KHJ news, a sports report.. and check out those car and Dr. Pepper commercials! They had Dr. Pepper in 1967? Who knew?

So, with all due respect, the news guys were actually serious about the voices they were using? Or were they joking? They sound like a parody from the “Batman” TV show or something. I mean, it’s obvious that RDS was putting on a voice, but he was supposed to be a goofball. The news was serious business.
Boss-Angeles!
