Was this the KMEN Harry Scarborough?

In the Sunday, 01/09/12, San Francisco Chronicle Radio Columnist Ben Fong Torres wrote:

R.I.P. Harry Scarborough, a talented Top 40 DJ who logged time on KSFX in the '70s. Not much is known about him, although one friend said he was in his mid-60s and had been in ill health for about eight years, living in a subsidized apartment in Marin County and, more recently, in a van parked near (San Francisco's )Ocean Beach.

At 440.com the listing for Harry Scarborough's career includes both KSFX and KMEN so it looks like sad news.

Yeah, a verrrry sad situation about the former "Happiness Harry" Scarborough. True enough, he did (at last report) live in his van. Harry apparently never could drop back into society, preferring to live his life as freely as possible. That was the essence of his entire life it would seem.
He should be remembered for really bringing fun changes to K/MEN while he was there was program director.
Rest in peace forever, Harry, ride the stars joyously, old friend.

Lord Darth Rageous! has left a new comment on your post "KFXM January 7, 1977":
HEARING ABOUT THE UNEXPECTED passing of the late Harry Scarborough, and finding barely two sentences said about the man concerning notice of his death, caused me to respond directly to the San Francisco Chronicle columnist. for those interested, my email comments to Mr. Ben Fong-Torres are disclosed here:

"dear Mr. Fong-Torres,

the two-sentence liner about the apparent passing of "Happiness Harry" Scarborough is met with sadness and incredulity about the lack of research on your part to define just who this man was!

there are many people out here in Cyberland AND in the "real world" who remember Harry with fondness, great memories and now mourning for this individual who has passed in the Great Beyond. therefore, FYI, following is information and commentary about this wonderful former disk jockey/air personality who brought a truly different dimension to the glory days of Top 40 radio and later:

Harry Scarborough (9-12pm) arrived from KYNO Fresno in June to replace Bob Foster when he went to KIMN in Denver. Harry would soon move to the 6-9AM shift after Jim Carson went to KFRC. Harry was well suited for this slot, encouraging his listeners to ‘rise and rejoice’ to open the new day. Harry went over to KCBQ in 1971, and now works for the gas company in Orange County.

Now: 'Living in the mountains of Southern California. In the travel wholesale industry.'

I got to know Harry when he was program director (and doing his own DJ gig) at the former K/MEN 129 radio station in San Bernardino circa 1968-1969. he was an enlightening individual who always brought lots of joy and humor to the fore in his shows, on the telephone and in-personal contact with most folks. {attached are images from The K/MENtertainer newspaper featuring Harry on the air staff line-up.}

he shall be missed by many an ex-colleague, friend, listener and fanfare such as i was. i just wanted you to at least have some means of providing more background information identifying this good gentleman -- a real Free Spirit if you will.

thank you for all due consideration on behalf of the late Harry Scarborough. may he ride the stars in happiness unto the ultimate states of dimension, forever!"

Johnny Helm has left a new comment on your post "KFXM January 7, 1977":
I worked with Harry at K/men. He was VERY talented, but also very fragile. He was headed for BIG things in radio. After K/men he went to KGB-San Diego for morning drive. He got blown out after several months.....returned to K/men, where Dave McCormick put him on the all night show. After that blowout at KGB he sounded like a heartbroken little boy on the air. Guess he got his shit together again and worked in Denver. Last I knew, he was homeless.
Sorry to hear of his passing.

45 Years ago.

This was probably a regular page in the San Bernardino newspaper, trying to appeal to teenagers. I was only going to post the music/survey information with The Monkees at #1, but I had the whole page, so I'm posting the whole page.

KRNO...yes...KRNO 1959

2012-01-05T12:36:00.000-08:00

KRNO was a top 40 station for some period of time in the 1950s. This survey they printed was actually The Top 100 from Billboard from November 30, 1959, even if it is dated 1958. Anyone know when KRNO started and ended their Top 40 (100) programing?

Also who was Charleyville 7-10 daily?

KFXM Top Hits of 1980

2012-01-03T10:31:00.000-08:00

In 1980 KFXM did not publish their Top 100 for the year (as far as I know). So from calculations I did about ten years ago, (based on the weekly surveys) here is my version of KFXM's Top Hits of 1980. Including Peak Position, Total Points (Don't ask I don't remember exactly how they were calculated) and Date Peaked.

The Top 126, each had at least 90 Points in order to make the list. Almost all of these songs made the top 20. Only two peaked lower than that, but did stick enough weeks to make the survey.

#1 was It's Still Rock & Roll To Me-Billy Joel

The highest position record that made it to #2 is Magic-Olivia Newton-John #3 Closely followed by Shinin' Star-Earth, Wind & Fire #5

Cars-Gary Numan was #4 for the year and it peaked at #3

The lowest position record that made it to #1 song was I Can't Help It-Andy gibb/Olivia Newton-John #46

K/MEN Top Hits of 1965

2012-01-02T21:42:00.000-08:00

Don't want to ignore K/men, so here is K/men's top hits for 1965

Satisfaction-Rolling Stones #1 to

KFXM Top 100 of 1973

2012-01-02T10:29:00.000-08:00

#1 for the year Killing Me Softly With His Song-Roberta Flack

A surprise in the top ten Little Willy-Sweet #8

Hey look! Edgrrr the Tiger is back in his original form. (For the last time)

Below is my version of KFXM's Top Hits of 1973. Including Peak Position, Total Points (Don't ask I don't remember exactly how they were calculated) and Date Peaked.

The Top 176 (actually 177), each had at least 90 Points in order to make the list. Almost all of these songs made the top 20. Only two peaked lower than that, but did stick enough weeks to make the survey.

The highest position record that made it to #2 is Midnight Train To Georgia-Gladys Knight & The Pips #8 Closely followed by Keep On Truckin'-Eddie Kendricks #11

The lowest position record that made it to #1 song was Will It Go Round In Circles-Billy Preston #63

Here are some other big hits that didn't quite make the top 100.

Live And Let Die-Paul McCartney/Wings #107

Mind Games-John Lennon #109

Do It Again-Steely Dan #118

Cover Of The Rolling Stone-Dr Hook #127

Rocky Mountain High-John Denver #133

For some reason the number 113 repeated, so there are actually 177 songs listed here.

KFXM Top Hits of 1962

2012-01-01T05:17:00.000-08:00

Happy

New Year!

So let me share this old year!

In 1962 KFXM did not publish their Top 100 for the year (as far as I know). So from calculations I did about ten years ago, (based on the weekly surveys) here is my version of KFXM's Top Hits of 1962. Including Peak Position, Total Points (Don't ask I don't remember exactly how they were calculated) and Date Peaked.

The Top 193, each had at least 90 Points in order to make the list. Almost all of these songs made the top 20. Only three peaked lower than that, but did stick enough weeks to make the survey.

#1 was Peppermint Man/Surf Beat-Dick Dale

#100 Lovers Who Wander-Dion

The highest position record that made it to #2 is The Wanderer/The Majestic-Dion #14 Closely followed by Surfin' Safari/409-Beach Boys #15

The lowest position record that made it to #1 song was Patches-Dickey Lee #58

A national #1 in 1962 was The Twist-Chubby Checker, but for some reason, did not return to the KFXM charts in 1962, after being a #1 song in 1960. So it isn't on this list.

Here are some other big hits that didn't quite make the top 100.

Johnny Get Angry-Joanie Sommers #107

Dream Baby-Roy Orbison #120

Two Lovers-Mary Wells #140

Lonely Bull-Tijuana Brass #141

Crying In The Rain-Everly Brothers #152

Telstar-Tornadoes #155

There are more KFXM surveys to post (1974) and on, which I will continue to do, but before 1974 KFXM surveys have all been posted (except for a few 1959 which I will post this coming year)

For all surveys posted, go to the Blog Archives on the right hand side of the page, and click on a year and a month and take a look at anything you missed.

KFXM The Alternate Top Hits of 1966

2011-12-29T18:42:00.000-08:00

About 10 years ago I used the rankings of the weekly surveys with a point system to calculate the top hits of the year, with a computer program. (don't ask I don't remember exactly how the point system worked). Here it is for 1966.

You'll notice that KFXM had Daytripper/We Can Work It Out at #1, and it doesn't show up here. Here is why. I had it as #1 for 1965. (KFXM had it at #15 for 1965) It peaked at #1 on Dec 10, 1965, so it went on that year's Top 100. The way the computer program worked, it could only be included in both years on my Top 100 survey. It would have also also been #1 here if included for '66 rather than '65. KFXM did not include I'm A Believer/Steppin' Stone-Monkees on 1966, and it was only 33 on 1967 (They didn't do for the Monkees as they did for The Beatles!) Also, sorry I did not do this for K/men.

As a bonus the Top 212 instead of only 100.

Look at the songs that didn't make the Top 100. Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Byrds, Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, Lovin' Spoonful, Johnny Rivers, Mamas & Papas.

How about Sweet Talkin' Guy-Chiffons #202 /Homeward Bound-Simon & Garfunkel #195/ California Dreamin'-Mamas & Papas #152

There were a lot of good songs in 1966. Even #212 was But It's Alright-J.J. Jackson

New format this week. Size of survey cut in half. Last week was the last week for a KFXM survey to have weekly pictures of the DJs on them. There will be some individual pictures in the future, but you won't see the lineup again. At least I haven't seen one, after last week's issue. Anyone know why this changed?

Also it appears to be a new Edggggrrrr Tiger on the survey.

Blurry Image Problem on enlarged pictures?

The pictures are going on my blog are starting outnice and clear, but the new process that blogger has given us makes full page pictures with printing hard to read/blurry. A lot of the older pictures from the last few weeks/months are having the same problem. But you can get around it! It takes a couple extra steps

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Good luck!
