Pictures of some of the top artists of the year. A list of all the number one songs.
Top favorites of the year #1 Record Cherish #1 Artist Monkees. Based on Riverside high school poll. Interesting is that a bunch are album tracks.
#1 single of the year Daytripper/We Can Work It Out-The Beatles. Cher's Bang Bang made #2 for the year. That is probably the only song in the top ten that still doesn't get regular airplay on oldies stations. Other intersting songs on the top100 #33 Hey Joe by The Leaves #65 Let Love Come Between Us by The Rubber Band #76 Follow Me by Lyme & Cybelle #88 Feeling Sad & Lonely-Bush. A lot of songs that are differen tthan the typical 1966 top 100.
They did not print the weekly top forty, so based on the next week's number listing for LAST WEEK, here is the top 40 and listed below are the songs that fell off and the likely songs that may have been the missing numbers.
Brand new this week Dirty Water by the Standells. Heard that after they recorded the song, they didn't play it again until it became a hit. So they had to learn it all over again! Love that song!
If you want more than San Bernardino/Riverside/Inland Empire Radio try Bill Earl's site. billearl.blosite.com for When Radio Was Boss. Besides KFXM and K/MEN he also covers KHJ, KRLA, KFWB, KCBQ, KEWB, KFRC and just about any California Station Top 40 he knows anything about. He even leaves the state once in awhile. 
Here we go with all of KFXM staff and their autographs printed up on the cover of the Tiger Mag. And to celebrate Chistmas, it's green and white!
Righteous Brothers and the The New Vaudeville Band get articles this week.
I'm A Believer/Steppin' Stone stepping into the #1 spot.
Wassail Song by Ottos Organization debuting at #28. My favorites of the new songs this week. I'm A Boy-Who/ Dead End Street-Kinks/ Niki Hoekey-P.J. Proby
#1 Mamas & Papas Monday Monday Ad for the Byrds concert at Swing Auditorium
In the ED GRrrrrr SEZ there is a interesting note. A mention of Don McCoy subbing for Bill Surrey. This was a coupleof years before he became a regular on KFXM!!!
Bits & Pieces have Great Britain voting the Beach Boys over the Beatles as the world's outstanding vocal group! Also interesting that Jeff Beck is leaving the Yardbirds and a comment that "The future of group member Jimmy Page remains in doubt." Cliff Richard also took top vocalist away from John Lennon.
Debuting at #40 Harmonica Man-The Torquays
Great top ten. Besides the Yardbirds being #1 The Bush and The Whatt Four are also in the top ten. Smashed! Blocked! by John's Children is a personal pick. A really loud punk psychodelic song that was played a lot on both KFXM and K/MEN.
Some great new songs new on the chart this week Sloop John B-Beach Boys, a track from the forthcoming Pet Sounds LP. Eight Miles High-The Byrds, Loves Made A Fool Of You-Bobby Fuller 4, My Little Red Book-Love
The Orange Show this year had K/MEN involved with the Camel Race and the Ostrich Race.
That's about right on the date they started. The Jones Boys were first mentioned in the Tiger Mag before this one (Nov 1, 1968) and continued until at least March 1969, and maybe later. I know definitely there were no Jones Boys in July 1969. Between March 28th and July 4th there were no Tiger Mags or surveys printed up, so the date of transformation isn't readily available.
Some of the first pictures of the Jones Boys.
Aquinas did win, but I never did hear about any help from other schools. But I guess it is a possibility. The phrase you wrote was your signature, and you could write it as many times as possible. The prize was definitely a concert. The last article in this posting tells about the concert. Click on the pictures to enlarge and read the details. By the way the year was 1967.
Great DJ pictures. Danny Dare finally gets his picture along with the rest of the guys.
Highest debut this week Mamas and Papas-Words of Love at #32. I'm A Believer/Steppin' Stone a Prsonal Pick this week. One of the first new 45s I bought (at White Front for either 59 or 69 cents)
