One of my favorite airchecks from the smooth "World famous Pat Holiday". Highlights are "The Morning After" by Maureen McGovern, "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, the fun "Bongo Rock" by the Incredible Bongo Band, "Saturday Nights alright for Fighting" by Elton John, And a song that Rosalie Trombley helped break nationwide, "Daddy don't you walk so Fast" by Wayne Newton. She had her reasons. Also, Clint Holmes with his hit "Playground in my Mind". That chorus will stick with you whether you want it to or not. Great aircheck, great DJ, even greater station.
As always, thanks to Tom Howard for this aircheck.
This was the first "aircheck" I ever came across a few years ago, and is probably still my favorite. This is what got me into collecting airchecks, and I am still passionate about it to this day. I think with the exception of a few songs, I owned every 45 played during this hour. It also has great ads, Merollis Chevrolet comes to mind, and the 20-20 news, it's hard to believe so much happened in one day.
I hope you enjoy this blast from the past.

Aircheck from June 29, 1973, starts around 4:30 PM. Ted "the Bear" Richards show. A couple of songs included that are rarely heard anymore, "Love me love me love" by Frank Mills and "Rosalie" by Michael Tarry. Also, an entire 20-20 news broadcast, highlighted by a great (but tragic) descriptive and alliterative segment about an incident up near Camp Grayling.
Commercials include a great one for Strohs, also Valente's Mens Formal Wear (featuring copy by CKLW's own "World Famous" Pat Holiday), Tuffy Muffler, the International Freedom Festival (Labatts driven), Marathon Gas stations, Flex Balsam shampoo and Conditioner by Revlon, Wild Lemon by Revlon, Detroit Dragway, (at Sibley and Dix!) and a great (IMO) announcement for the winning lottery numbers by Ted "the Bear" Richards.
I had to scope "Shotgun" so that Youtube wouldn't block it. My inclusion of "Brother Louie" in full got it blocked in Germany. SMH.
As always, thanks to Tom in California for probably 99% of my airchecks.
The Big 8. Number 1 then, number 1 now.

Great aircheck from Scott Regen, who also jocked big time at Keener 13 across the river in Detroit. On this clip, he breaks, from what I can tell, the news that Diana Ross was leaving the Supremes. Way ahead of the national news. That great 20/20 news team at CKLW does it again!
As always, thank you to Tom Howard in Cali.for this amazing resource.

RADIO REVOLUTION investigates the international social, political and musical impact of radio station CKLW during the 1960s and 70s. CKLW was the sonic mirror of Windsors sister city, separated by a half a mile of dirty Detroit River water - reflecting excitement, prosperity, exuberance, soul, creativity - and bloody murder. The station provided the soundtrack to the days of postwar industrial prosperity, through the rising social unrest and racial tension, leading up to the explosion of the most violent of all the race riots in the US during the disastrous summer of 1967, and the shockwaves and renaissance efforts that followed. Through a combination of personal anecdotes from CKLW alumni, memorabilia and recordings, rare never before seen film and photographs of CKLW in its heyday, vintage and modern day footage of both Detroit and Windsor, Radio Revolution sheds new insights into this little-known chapter of 20th Century pop culture history. Features music and stories from Bob Seger, Steppenwolf, The Who, Alice Cooper, Kiss, The Guess Who, Tony Orlando, Elton John, Wayne Kramer (MC5), Marvin Gaye, The Ohio Players, The Parliaments, Funkadelic and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas.
A feature length documentary. Produced by Judy Holm. Written, directed and narrated by Michael McNamara. Original music by Kurt Swinghammer.

CKLW
CKLW is a 50,000 watt, Class B, AM radio station broadcasting on the shared United States/Canadian clear-channel frequency of 800 kHz (800 AM) and located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, serving Windsor and Detroit. Additionally, its signal can be heard as far west as Grand Rapids, Michigan; as far east as Batavia, New York (and, at night, Hartford, Connecticut); as far south as Edgewood, Kentucky; and as far north as Posen, Michigan. CKLW uses a five-tower directional antenna with differing patterns day and night, to protect Class-A clear-channel station XEROK-AM in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and other neighboring stations on the same frequency.
It is best known for having been one of the most influential Top 40 stations in the world in the 1960s and 1970s. During this era, CKLW used a very tight Top 40 format known as Boss Radio, devised by radio programmer Bill Drake. However, CKLW never actually used the handle "boss" on the air, just the style. Rather than a "Boss 30", CKLW's weekly music survey was known as a "Big 30". And instead of calling itself "Boss Radio", CKLW called itself "The Big 8". During this period it was the top-rated radio station not only in Windsor, but across the river in Detroit, and even in cities as far away as Toledo and Cleveland in Ohio.

7 1-2 Years
I just hung up the phone
I was talking to you
We said good bye
I sat down and cry
Coz' I remembered the things
That we've done
When we were sitting together
And our love has begun
For more and more
I want to go back in time
I'll always love you
I hope you know
But on and on
I need to wait
Chorus:
7 1/2 years that was our pact
7 1/2 years there is no turning back
7 1/2 years till I get to see you again
I am looking at the pictures
Of me and you
Both of us were smiling
For this damn photo-shoot
That was the day when it all began
But all I want to now
Is to see you again
For more and more
I want to go back in time
I'll always love you
I hope you know
But on and on
I need to wait
