Solid Gold Radio [By Uncle Ricky] Where All The Good Songs Have Gone ! If memory serves, this is a copy of a demo given to me by the late Fred Hardy sometime around 1972. Fred was selling PAMS jingles and he always left some goodies behind. I was working at WYCL in York, S.C. at the time, and I do remember “borrowing” the Greatest Hits Of All Time – Golden Ninety-Eight jingle. After all, WYCL was The Great 98 on 980Khz. Of course, the jingles were originally a “custom” package created for WCAU-FM (98.1 Mhz) in Philadelphia, and other CBS owned and operated stations. In 1972, CBS was experimenting with an automated oldies format on FM. The bulk of the jingles used only a few tracks, but mixed them with different vocals and lyrics.
