… Love Those Good Guys …
Davy Jonescirca 1968
[Description by Lee Chambers]
“Good Guy” Davy Jones joined WPGC (from WBZ/Boston) in May of 1967. In this excerpt from New Years Eve, December 31, 1968, Jones is counting down the “1968 Super Greats” of the Top 100 of 1968.
The “Jones boy on the move” (“sockin’ the solid sounds to ya”) did nights at WPGC for nearly five years before departing for crosstown WMAL-FM in early 1971.
