Years ago, most DJ-oriented radio
stations published weekly survey sheets that you could pick
up at a local music shop. Printed under the stations'
logos were the lists of the week's top hits, based (so they
claimed) on local sales and listener requests. (The
most interesting of these surveys are the ones with the
longest list of records. Some have as many as a
hundred or more, giving you an idea of just how much music
you could hear on commercial radio then.) We've
collected hundreds of these survey sheets from soul and pop
stations all over the country, dating from the late 50s
through the 80s. Some of
these rare items are now available for viewing. (If you have any lying around that you'd like to
share with us, let us know.)
The great Esther Phillips
sings a Beatles ballad, introduced by none other
than John Lennon himself, who calls Esther's
performance "one of the best ever." This clip dates
from 1965. (Does anyone know what program this
video is taken from?) Previous videos of the week
