Another one of those ultra-rare airchecks of Sly Stone from his radio career before he became a well known musician. This came in with no date written on it, however, just taking a guess, by the music snippets inside the recording that this is from sometime in 1967 (typo corrected). Not much for elements here. One KSOL “Soul Radio” jingle played ad-nauseum between nearly ever...

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 24/7 format, the first such format in America. The Soul format would continue until 1970. Most notable on this aircheck is Sly Stone. Before becoming a music sensation, he was a Deejay on KSOL. Here he is, doing the Soul Music format in much the same manner as many of the Top 40 stations of the 1960s.
