- This house on Latham Street in Colton may be one of the most famous houses in the Inland Empire that almost nobody knows about. If it were not for what happened in this house, the following songs would NEVER have been written:
• Wichita Lineman
• Galveston
• By the time I get to Phoenix
• MacArthur Park
• The Worst That Could Happen
• Where’s the Playground Suzie
• The Hymns of Grand Terrace
• Requiem: 820 Latham
Former Miss Colton Suzy Horton grew up in that house. The story of what happened is almost unbelievable.
Two years ago my late “I Remember Radio” editor Billy Smith and former KFXM DJ “Dirty” Don McCoy had a delightful series of Zoom meetings with Suzy which resulted in this attached edited video.

Suzy looks great, still well-spoken and a cute sparkle in her eyes. What a great story, I’ve always loved Glen Campbell his songs, voice, and amazing guitar. Thanks for sharing this story - passing this culture on! ✨🎤
I grew up in Colton and never knew the backstory of these famous songs! Just Wow!!
The most famous house in Colton California is the house that Wyatt Earp built for his parents on H Street
Suzy must have been quite the muse to have inspired so many songs about her, and is still inspiring songs about her to this day. Lovely story!
I'd say the Earp house would be #1. This would be still important.
Weird having everyone text me this video of my house 🤣
I had the same car
Maybe they'll write a song about it...🎶😅
Omg memories like crazy
He was our good friend of ours, he came over a use our panio wrote music we just loved him. very good person we were actually neighbors if you read Jimmy come by visit sometime mom's says she loves you. The Luna family… on Johnston street!
Sorry for the mistakes
@@sabrinalopez1678that's ok. Glad to know you had a great story to share!
So awesome - wonderful to see all these great stories and connections. Like a HS reunion telling stories ha.
This is really fascinating. Jimmy was such a prolific songwriter, amazing. And, so many written about one person. Suzy still looks and sounds great.❤
Wow! What a treasure trove! Thank you for inspiring him to write.
How very interesting ! Amazing to see the sidewalks available to kids to ride there bikes on. Not today, with all the tents and campers. This was a really interesting video. Great interviewer. Great questions !❤ 🙏
I lived in Colton and this is the first time I heard of this WOW
I lived in Grand Terrace for 20 years. We moved to Henderson, NV July 2021. I heard all of the songs and they are some of the best ever written. This was a great time for music. It was a great time for California and the Inland Empire as well. Sadly it is a very difficult and expensive place to live now.
You did a great job leaving honestly
I left Reche Canyon on the border of GT in '20 for Arizona..
Super interesting history of this house and his songs. Never heard of them but it was great to learn about it!
Just 15 miles from me. Such an amazing songwriter and musician!
I lived on Mt. Vernon Ave. in 1959-1960 and went to Alice Birney Elementary School. My family moved back to Ohio in 1960. Colton had great little league baseball teams back then.
Checks out! ⚾️
My aunt moved to Colton in 1960 and lived there till about 1969 , when she moved to San Bernardino and lived there till she moved back to NorCal 1983. It wasn't a bad area in the 60s
This area Colton, San Bernardino, has such a great history.
I still live close by and work in Colton, I drive thru the are and wonder what went wrong.
I can help you with your question. Democrats.
@@LSBBD - You got that right
My Grandparents and Father were f street in Colton and I knew a dj from Kmen via my father who did the news for them. named Sherman from the 60's. We roller skated at Harry's roller rink. Nice to hear this history.
So cool, I lived in Colton, went to CHS and SBVC -
I certainly enjoyed this eye opening interview! Captivated, I grew up in Redlands never knowing these sweeping details. I must rush out now to hear my all time favorites sung by Glen Campbell having a renewed insite will be like hearing them for the first time all over again. Thank-You !
Glad non of the guys wrote songs about me. But I had plenty that dedicated songs on the radio to me. Almost everyone in the high school knew me as well as the parents in the neighborhood.
Oh! Whereabouts on C st near Mt Vernon I’ve lived there for more than 50 years 😊
Whow quite a lot of songs and artists.
Was that Eisenhower high school production of bye bye birdie in that photograph? Sure looks like it.
Lordy, I knew so many people in Colton.
Linda Ronstadt speaks very highly about Jimmy Webb
I grew up in Colton..
K-MEN, was the station to listen to 😳❤️
And KFXM!
Patti Boyd was the muse for several songs by then hubby George Harrison & later Eric Clapton.
KMEN 129 and KFXM, tiger…radio 59
Really cool
My uncle Jack managed Harry’s Roller Rink, my parents had their first date at that Roller Rink.
I lived on Latham down the street in the 60's
Susie Ronstadt. She later married Linda Ronstadt’s cousin if I am not mistaken.
I don't know how long ago this was interview was made but she looks great if she's in her '80s she'd have to be I'm 89 and I was from that era50s and 60s70s I was raised in Hawthorne California The Beach Boys live not too far from me we used to go to the same I scream place on Hawthorne Boulevard trying to think of the name I think it was Fosters freeze yeah it was I don't remember that group though I used to watch The Dick Clark Show but like I said if she's in her 80s she really looks good.
Well isn't it great that they changed their name from The Versatiles 😮
I would have thought the Earp house would have been most famous.
K-MEN …a.m. radio..1290, not 129, but that’s okay
I remember a D.J. named Al Anthony from KFXM.. looked alot like the podcaster here.. hmm.
The male seen in this video is Don McCoy who was a DJ at KFXM in the 1960s
@@odnamraortsac Thank you!! 4 minutes in I had to see who it was. The "Radio" tone in his delivery is undeniable....Visited KFXM/KDUO at the Holiday Inn VERY young. Got a little tiger tail. That station is a direct line to what I do now. Great video.
The most famous house in Colton is Wyatt Erp's mother's house. I'm in my 50's and have never heard of even one of these songs. Maybe if I was an elevator repair man from the 1980's.
One of Wyatt Earp's relatives from Colton was an inmate in the prison that I worked in here in SoCal back in the 80s.
Wyatt’s house is by Colton High School?
Yeah I'm 66 and I'm just realizing that some people have no musical taste too so I hear you.
Isn't that the house where Ray Liota and Joe Pesci pull up in " Goodfellas" after an all nighter ?

DISAPPEARED
Mined to death…
Ken Hubbs family is probably the most famous home in Colton
No I think Wyatt Earp house
About twenty years ago I rented a house in Grand Terrace (which split off from Colton in 1978). I'd been there a few weeks before I crossed paths with my next door neighbor, a sweet elderly woman who had lived in that house for most of her life. She introduced herself as Dorothy Hubbs and commented that I had probably heard of her son, a pro ball player who had died in a plane crash many years before. I've never paid much attention to sportsball, and his passing was several years before I was born, so I admitted I'd never heard the name before. So she told me his story. I felt tremendously privileged to hear about him, not from sportscasters and almanacs, but from his mother. I saw the way her eyes lit up talking about her boy; decades after he was gone, he remained an important part of her life.
did billy die
Steve Miller wrote a song about me. No joke. See what I did there? 😎
😂
Bubble gum music.
