Dr. Don Rose, WFIL Philadelphia PA. October 6, 1973

Here's a piece of Top 40 history that has taken 21 years to make it to REELRADIO. Our thanks to The Rob Frankel Collection for making it available. Dr. Don Rose was happy and successful at Philadelphia's WFIL, and he might have stayed there until the late '80's. But RKO's Paul Drew made him an "offer he couldn't refuse", and the Good Doctor moved to San Francisco and KFRC, where he was happy and successful - until the late '80's. This exhibit features Dr. Rose on his last Famous 56 morning show.

Bwana Johnny, WFUN Miami FL, July 16, 1974

We've heard Bwana Johnny on the West Coast, in the Midwest, and in New Jersey, but this is our first exhibit featuring the Bwana in Miami, where he was Miami's Morning Mouth. Our thanks to Richard Mamches for this GOLDEN GIFT from Big Apple Airchecks.

Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20.
