| | CRUISIN' the 50s and 60s: CRUISIN' 1966 - PAT O'DAY, KJR, Seattle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | KJR was as Top 40 as they came in those days, but Pat O'Day kept his personality intact, lacing his record introductions and public service announcements with corny jokes and puns, cryptic references to specific Seattle neighborhoods (puzzling unless you were living there) and sendups of fellow KJR staffers. |
 | | All of which had almost nothing to do with the top-selling singles charts, from which KJR and the rest of the Top 40 stations in America took their collective musical cue. |
 | | Here the blend was a more variant one, as shown by just the acts that had their first big hits this year - the Mamas and Papas, the Mindbenders, the Association, the Monkees, Simon and Garfunkel, Percy Sledge, and Tommy James and the Shondells, to name a few. |
