    "Don't Mention My Name" #18-#5
    on KFXM and new-#9 on K/men.
    Great record produced by Bob Crew
    who did the 4 Seasons records.

    Both stations playing "Softly In The Night" by the Cookies..the flip side of"Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby".

    Also notice KFXM's Bonus Pick is "I Only Have Eyes For You" this was the original flip side of "Amy"..It was later changed to "Goody Goody"

    Van McCoy had a big hit in
    the Summer of 1961 with
    MR DJ. Big hit but only
    in SoCal. Not even top100
    nationwide. Nice slow song.
    Between that and Disco days,
    not much of hits to speak of.
    THE HUSTLE became his biggest.

    Amazing that would get played
    today.

    I have a copy of the record.
    Oddly enough I picked it up when
    KFXM threw out a bunch of oldies
    they would never play again.
    That was about 40 years ago and
    got it from one of the Tiger Tots.
    He had boxes and didn't know what
    most of them were. I did and
    picked up these records played
    by the DJs. I was impressed by
    the fact these were the same songs
    I heard on the radio and now
    I'm holding them in my hand.

    It's on Rock'n Records.
    Van McCoy wrote the song.
    I think he died a few years ago.
