Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | July 22, 1967
Courtesy of Steven Green, here’s a long-awaited brand new Dan Ingram recording from the heyday of the greatest Top 40 Station of All Time! One of the clearest recordings of WABC from this era, Big Dan is outrageous and as always, on top of his game! This had to have been recorded onto reel before…
Composite: 98.7 WOR-FM New York | April & August, 1967
Another goodie sent in by Contributor Robyn Watts, here’s a short, somewhat muddy but listenable recording of WOR-FM as it sounded in the Spring & Summer of 1967.

WXYZ News Covers the Detroit Civil Rights Riots | July, 1967
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. The city of Detroit, Michigan turned into a battleground in July, 1967 after city police raided an ‘unlicenced’, after-hours bar on what is now called Rosa Parks Boulevard, in the wee hours of July 23rd. As the situation became more tense, Governor George Romney called in…
Jessica Savitch/Rob France, WBBF Rochester | June, 1967
Here’s a slice of 1960s upstate New York gold, reverb and all! This is the old 950 WBBF (now WROC). This was obviously recorded on a wideband AM receiver – those were the norm back in the 1960s at a full 16khz wide, and there was a thunderstorm or two somewhere in the area judging…
Charlie O, 1110 KRLA Pasadena CA | June 16, 1967
We’re going all the way back to the Summer of 1967 for this clip of KRLA!

Sly Stone, KSOL San Francisco | 1967
KSOL (the original incarnation) was an AM station in San Francisco on 1450. AM 1450 was known as KSAN until July 1964, when the KSOL calls were first used. As KSAN, the station had devoted much time to ‘soul’ music, and the change to KSOL meant a change to full time Soul music as a…
“Monitor ’67”, WNBC New York | September 9, 1967
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis, here’s a rare recording of a weekend NBC “Monitor” show. This is a bit choppy, as the recording was stopped and re-started in many places throughout the original hour and a half tape. The tape is a bit worn, with dropouts (primarily on the left side) and white noise. Also,…
John R., 1510 WLAC Nashville | 1967
John R. (Richbourg) was one of four Rhythm & Blues deejays who graced the airwaves of WLAC after dark, when the station’s powerful 50,000 watt signal could be heard via skywave across 38 states and parts of the Caribbean. When we first posted John R., way back in 2004, the aircheck became one of our…
