Four Teen Kay [By Uncle Ricky] We have an aircheck of a few of these jingles in use at KQV , Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, in 1974. I know we bought cuts from this package and used them on the air at WJAR in Providence with J-A-R substituted for Four-Teen-Kay , and that couldn’t have been later than 1974, so, this must be a 1974 PAMS demo from about that time. Included in the PAMS tape box with this recording is a business card from the late Fred Hardy , my favorite jingle salesman. This was a very powerful-sounding package, at the time, with extraordinary performances. Some of the acapella work (7-voice?) is the very best PAMS sound. This demo includes a full line-up of pseudo-DJs, including Joe Happy , Sterling Quality , Larry Speedway , Bobby Bubble , Jeremiah Black , and Lenny Limbo . This was intended to be a complete on-air production package, with exciting new electronic news and traffic sounders, and a combination of speech, instrumental and vocal representations of your SIGNATURE. And that’s the way it was, back when radio stations were not afraid to sing their name.
