Breaking News 11/04/17: November—the month of
giving. Oh, you thought that was next month for Christmas? Charity
starts at home, with Thanksgiving. Not just a meal for family and friends, but
to help others who
may not have your good fortune, and/or those who suffered
great losses this year. Give—it’s better for your heart health than Grandma’s
pumpkin pie.

BFYP Rock and Roll Radio DJs: Book 1 (1950s) and Book 2 (1960s) ready at Amazon to walk you down Memory Lane, to the Golden Age
of Rock & Roll Radio! Enjoy the moment ... again.
And now, flip on the
mic, let’s Rock On back to 1967 …
Don’t Say
Goodbye! I Say Helloooo … to the Holidays!
Time
to roam around those memory banks and spin your radio dial to Chicago, November 1967. Were you a WLS fan, listening to the friendly jokes
and antics of Ron Riley? Or did Jim Stagg’s high energy music
knowledge and celeb-artist friends hold your radio dial at WCFL?
Jim’s knack
for selecting winning artists and songs to break out on WCFL, made its mark in
Chicagoland; but The Beatles weren’t
even in the top ten when WLS debuted their “Hello, Goodbye” at #22, November
24th. By December 15th it topped WLS’ Silver Dollar
Survey.
Although
WCFL awarded the “Mystery Tour” album a showing on their “Chicago Premier” list
in mid-November, fans didn’t send it to the top of their Sound Ten Survey until
Christmas week. “You say why, and I say, I don’t knowwww …” ♪
“Hello,
Goodbye” joined other soon-to-be iconic songs like “Strawberry Fields Forever,”
“All You Need is Love,”
and “Penny Lane,” to
round out the truly Magical Mystery Tour
album (officially released November 27th).
