[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Pat Hughes (d. 1969), an early Top 40 performer on KBOX in Dallas is heard doing morning drive on Atlanta’s WQXI in 1968. Bob Jones says he recorded this one on a Wollensak when he lived near Shallowford Road and I-85 in Chamblee, GA.
Included: TM Productions “The Beat Goes On”, the 1969 model year “It’s a Goin’ Thing” campaign theme for Ford Motor Company, Newsman Bob Neil, and a healthy commercial load.
With the unscoped update of this aircheck in 2002, we are treated to a few of the rare and seldom-heard R&B singles that defined generations of Southeast Top 40.
