K/mentertainer November 16, 1962

Miserlou-Dick Dale #1
Highest debut (and only debut in the top ten) Peppermint Man-Dick Dale #7
I would say he is fairly popular in the Inland Empire Some familiar names having some new songs , but not familiar hits. Andy Williams, Brian hyland, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Goldsboro



Dig the new Mark Ford Show Midnight to 6 AM William F. Williams is still here. He's replaced Dean Webber Noon to 3. No new pictures for awhile.

    Yea Dick Dale was huge in
    SoCal and IE.
    Especially since one of
    the lines in KING OF THE
    SURF GUITAR (1963) has this
    line:
    "...on the road to Anaheim,
    San Bernardino to Riverside...all
    the kids in old LA......."
    That clinched it although he
    was already popular.

    Further: I think KMEN made
    PEPPERMINT MAN their #1 for
    1962. I found that strange but
    their decision. Sounded like Bill Watson was a huge fan of DD. They also
    played the flip side. I can't recall it at this time.

    The flip of "Peppermint Man"
    is "Surf Beat".

    Both sides were played in L.A.
    as well.
