KSO Jingles

 

Jingle recording session for KSO 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 "Millon Dollar Music" 1959 - used again later in the 60's.

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.
