Jay Reynolds, WIFE Indianapolis August 10, 1966 (scoped) (0:15:28)
Scoped
Jay Reynolds was one of the best known Good Guys at WIFE in Indianapolis during the station’s halcyon years as the leading Top 40 station. On this Wednesday afternoon, there’s a big electrical storm brewing, and because this recording was taken from the station’s air monitor, there’s quite a bit of weather in the signal.
The static doesn’t seem to distract Jay, however  he’s got one of those big mushy grins that was part of the “personality” of many Top 40 jocks of the era. Great spots include attempted humor for a Ford dealer that would be considered politically-incorrect today, a forgotten Jerry Lewis movie, and Ray Charles for Coca-Cola.
They’re mostly using acapellas, but the best jingle is a classic PAMS “Winner” jingle. There is a one-minute news update, and six reportable music performances in this half-hour.
