KSO Jingles
Jingle recording session for KSO Pams Series 14 from 1960, complete with the singers chatter between cuts. This early 60's series has been called the beginning of modern radio station jingles and featured Alvino Rey on the steel guitar. Pams products were considered the Cadillac of radio station jingles. Both KSO and KIOA used them at various times.
CRC Series 11 "Million $ Music" 1959 - used again later in 60's.
Studio 10 jingles - 1964 Not on the air very long, right after Dick Vance left the station. Promoted the jocks as "All American."
KSO high school pep jingles This set is not complete. KIOA had similar jingles. An interesting observation is that the KSO logo on these jingles has a close resemblance to the later used "Yours Truly KIOA" logo.
KSO 1970 Gwinsound jingles From the master tape. The return to top-40. Hear jock cuts for Perry St. John, Jim Michaels, Walt Reno and Bob Beers.
KSO 1972 Gwinsound Rock of DM jingles From the master tape. The station later purchased some Jodie Lyons "Solid Rock" cuts. Jock cuts for Ron Ross, Charlie Walters, Perry St. John, Cassey James, Jim Beam, J. William Drake, G. David James.
