[Description by Uncle Ricky from notes by contributor Don Kent]
Here’s Hour Three of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll hosted by Robert W. Morgan, the Ultimate Narrator for the debut presentation of what is arguably the greatest Special Feature of the Top 40 era, and the first Radio Rockumentary.
Originally broadcast from 2PM-3PM on February 21, 1969, and recorded by contributor Don Kent, this program defined all the programs that followed. It was the first, conceived and produced by Ron Jacobs, The original Boss Radio Boss. Following the unprecedented success of this legendary broadcast, Jacobs left KHJ later that year.
This original KHJ Hour includes a full ten minute 20-20 newscast (about 40 minutes in) with KHJ newslegend J. Paul Huddleston. News is preceded by a nifty instrumental bed that could be trimmed as needed for real-time adjustments. Indeed, the original broadcast was designed for KHJ, and only later revised into syndicated hours.
