93 KHJ Los Angeles Boss Radio Jingles, 1960s

In the 1960s, Bill Drake revolutionized rock 'n roll radio, creating a format - called 'The Drake Format' - that he exported to every radio market across North America, employing and adopting a set of jingles for each radio station market. As he did in 1965, when he bought a last place A.M. radio stations, #60 in the Los Angeles market, and within 3 months turned the station into the #1 radio station in the greater Los Angeles market, wherever a radio station adopted 'The Drake Format' (17 songs an hour, talking over the intro to song, using Drake's jingle package) the station shot to #1 or #2 in the radio market, as happened with 730 CKLG in the Vancouver market, beginning in the 1966.

The Johnny Mann Singers were the jingle singers. It was the golden age of Top 40 radio. Bill Drake was the National Program Director for the RKO General Radio Chain. There were a lot of stations that imitated the format they were called Fake Driake. They used the Johnny Mann singers as well. I was just a kid but remember it well. Thanks for posting this great blast from the past.
