Do The Clam-Elvis Presley
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood-Animals
My Girl-Temptations #1
Highest debut Baby Please Don't Go-Them #26 This will have an interesting chart ride on both KFXM and K/men. This is the flip side of Gloria, but that song won't appear on either survey until the end of March, beginning of April. On KFXM it will go up the chart, fall down the chart, go back up with Gloria appearing and Baby, Please Don't Go disappearing. This song was also huge on LA stations KHJ and KRLA, but batrely charted nationally in 1965. A year latter there will be a resurgence of Gloria, but be a bigger hit by another group.

Today it would be:
Joy-Apollo 100 (Why did this version and not The Ventures version make it?)

Rock & Roll Lullabye-B.J. Thomas (Someone told me the Beach Boys were on this record, or did it just sound like them?)

Channel 18 Presents...The Beach Boys, the Astronauts and The Torquays

Channel 18 presents...
My mother had saved many articles from the San Bernardino Sun Telegram, and in some cases the whole sections of the newspaper, after the 22nd day of November in 1963.
I went through the papers the other day, and found some ads and articles, that might be a little interesting. The Beach Boys, The Astronauts and The Torquays at the Municipal Auditorium in San Bernardino from 8:30 pm until Midnight, and to be broadcast on Channel 18 9:30-10:30

...AND, COUPLES ONLY!

Jay Michael was Master of Ceremonies
Anyone out there attend or know anything about Jay Michael?

Retro: San Bernardino, Ca. Friday, October 17, 1962

Found this site that gives a schedule of Channel 18. Notice that KFXM is mentioned, and djs Chuck Daughtery and Lyle Kilgore have their own show at 6:00 pm.
Also look at the program on at 11:30 pm
