Boss Radio 93 KHJ. The original KRLA, AM 1110. And the third leg of LA AM rock music radio in its heydey was...KFWB 98 AM. There was also Wolfman Jack on the Mighty 1090 XERB.
Buffalo Springfield remains one of my favorites. They were loaded with great musicians who went on to form other bands.
One of Rush Limbaugh’s secrets was his knowledge of production & program techniques that KHJ and its like had perfected, and which he incorporated into his show. That’s something his imitators just don’t get. He was a radio professional first long before doing politics and he understood his craft in detail. He occasionally talked about this on his program.
When I started listening to Top 40 in 1964, I would switch back and forth between KRLA and KFWB. They both alternated songs with ads, and when a song was finished on one station, I would switch to the other because I preferred hearing a song to hearing an ad.
Then KHJ switched from country-western to Top 40 in early 1965. Their slogan was “more music,” and they delivered—or at least, they seemed to—by playing long sets of songs. Even though long rafts of ads would follow each set of songs, I was hooked.
