Following Up!

In my previous post, I mentioned how my 5KW radio station could reach all the way from Butte, MT to Connecticut on Sunday nights.  When my friend e-mailed to my reply to him, he also enclosed a copy of the KXLF "Fun Filled Forty" song listing.  I have to take full credit for the survey, because I compiled it and even was the one who typed it and ran it off on the mimeograph machine.  Looking it over, I found a bunch of songs that rated with us higher than they did on the national charts, Billboard (BB) and Cashbox (CB).  Here they are.....
Probably December, 1964
XL FF40  -  Song & Artist  - National ranking
#1     White Cliffs Of Dover  --  Sir Raleigh & Coupons    #145 (CB)
#12   Toy Heart  --  Eddie McDuff     ----
#17   Coming On Too Strong  --  Wayne Newton   #65 (BB) 
#18   Anywhere The Girls Are  --  Fantastic Baggys   ---
#19   No Other Baby  --  Paul & Paula   ---
#20   Talk To Me Baby  --  Barry Mann    #94 (BB)
#24   Lovely, Lovely  --  Chubby Checker   #70 (BB)
#26   Hey-Da-Da-Dow  --  Dolphins    #69 (CB)
#27   Bucket "T"  --  Ronnie & Daytonas   #54  (BB)
#30   Do What You Do, Do Well  --  Ned MIller    #52 (BB)
#32   Mi Amore, Mi Vida  --  Jerry Fuller   ---
#40   Dusty - Rag Dolls   #48  (CB)

Most of our records came from a service that supplied them to small stations around the country.

I checked and all of the above are available to listen to on You-Tube.

Re: Following Up!

Yes, you really had a lot of them that didn't make the national charts.  Of that list, I've heard only four - #24, #26, #30 and #40.
