PAMS Series 29 Jingles for WSAI Cincinnati, 1965 (0:14:36)

… 2013 August 18 …
Rocket Radio! [By Uncle Ricky] One of the most popular PAMS packages of all time, Series 29 , the Go-Go series was created after the hugely successful Jet Set , Series 27. And, like Series 27, it featured Gleni Rutherford Tai and her angelic high scat backgrounds mixed with brass and fast rhythmic accompaniment to the all-male vocal group. While the appeal now is mostly nostalgic, these jingles are still powerful, uplifting and delightful to hear in 2013. And, this composite of Series 29 jingles has been customized for WSAI in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the height of their Top 40 dominance. The logo is custom, the lyrics are custom, and it’s all about Rocket Radio , including a cut for Space Age News !

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
