The Bob Green Collection
Bob Green, 1963 
WQAM Fabulous 56 Survey, Week beginning August 3, 1963
|
Bob Green of Bob Green Productions in Houston was PD of WKNR, Detroit, a great and legendary Top 40 station. Prior to WKNR, he worked at WQAM in Miami, and after WKNR, he was PD at KULF in Houston. He has about 700 reels of some of the greatest Top 40 radio ever made - and Bob made a lot of it!
Bob says: I began in radio in 1958, and I remember well how radio people would tell me... "now in MY day..." I promised myself that when I got to be the old guy, I'd NEVER say that to an aspiring radio personality. And, I've NEVER said it - but I THINK it all the time. I'm very glad I had the opportunity to work Top 40 in the sixties. Bob's collection is particularly notable (and delightful!) for the focus on production elements and commercial jingles of the era. Bob has demos of his award-winning production online at the Bob Green Productions website, and he invites you to surf on in at your convenience. There is simply no other way to thank Bob for these treasures than to say, Thanks, Bob! |
Description
Bob Green partially wrote:
“I’ve been asked to include Lee Alan on WXYZ from 1965. There
were four Top 40’s goin’ on at the time. WXYZ had 5000 watts on 1270, directional at night only.
WKNR was also 5000 watts, with a multi-tower array, different patterns day and night  and crummy ones at that. The big difference was that WKNR had an audience share of 29, at NIGHT, yet.”
