… Put some fun in your today …
[Description by Uncle Ricky from notes provided by Bob Oakes.]
During the Summer of 1966, Bob Oakes created the concept for a new KFWB custom ID package.
He wanted a contemporary package with orchestration and vocals reflecting current music. Two vocal groups would be used: The Blossoms and “a group sounding like The Fifth Dimension.” Oakes also wanted instrumental logos with changes of mood and tempo, ending with sustained notes.
The long cuts heard at the end of this exhibit were improvised by L.A.’s top studio musicians to fill session time. Yes, improvised!
[A shorter composite featuring some of these jingles was published in August, 2000.]
