5. This was the very first 45 I ever purchased...

...after I heard it played on WLS radio in Chicago.

B side was called "The Birdman of Alcatrash," IIRC.

It is perhaps the only thing I have looked for on YouTube and couldn't find.

6. I remember WLS. And KAAY, especially Beaker Street.

7. I had to look up KAAY, was not familiar with that station...

...Top 40 format in the 60s, like WLS.

It has degenerated into a "Christian radio" format.

8. Late night KAAY was underground music:
