… Laughin’ and Scratchin’, Swingin’ and Singin’ …
[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by Daniel Fuentz]
This is a quick composite of PAMS jingles from Series 34, 35 and 36, as recorded for
legendary Top 40 WORD in Spartanburg, South Carolina, probably in the early 1970’s.
Among the Jock Jingles are some genuinely famous names from the Southeast, like Bob
Canada and Russ Spooner, but there are also a few surprises, like Robert W. Morgan and Fred Hardy. The late Fred Hardy was a salesman for PAMS and it’s likely he sold these packages to WORD.
Maybe the WORD PD thought Fred Hardy would make a good “house” name for weekends and backup. That’s easier to explain than Robert W. Morgan.
We’re sure that Mr. Morgan never had any intention of working in Spartanburg, S.C., but it’s
also likely he’d never know if someone on that station adopted his moniker.
