Kaaaaay A eff why, Bakersfield [By Uncle Ricky] Best I can figure, these are jingles of the Drake-Chenault variety purchased by KAFY in Bakersfield California, probably no later than 1971. Some (but only some) of these are on the site for WOR-FM as the Double A Image Pack , but I don’t think the majority of this composite is from that series. I didn’t work at KAFY until late 1976 and these jingles were long gone when I arrived. I can’t remember how I got these. They are here via Reel2Reel technology, and the tape was made at KAFY, but I don’t remember finding these in my office when I checked in for PD duties. Years before I arrived, KAFY was a Big Boss thing north of 93KHJ . Even with a directional kilowatt on 550Khz, I got a call from San Francisco when KSFO (560) was off the air. At times, KAFY had a listenable signal “over the grapevine” in Los Angeles. Genuinely Famous People who made a Good Living in Broadcasting worked at KAFY in Bakersfield. Again, I wasn’t there during the Bakersfield Boss Era, but these are (some of) the famous formula jingles. Of course, some of these were also heard for dozens of stations all over America (even ones that were not owned by RKO .) An interesting sidebar from Tracy Carman of Media Preservation Foundation : Though this package was produced and sold by Drake-Chenault, and though the Johnny Mann Singers may have recorded the first versions of the vocal tracks for some RKO stations, it was suggested that these were not the Mann Singers. COMMENTS (below) have challenged that. The tracks from this package made the rounds, apparently, and many jingle houses (including PAMS and Otis Connor ) sang vocals on these original Drake-Chenault tracks.
