"409" - Beach Boys
(Oct. 1962, highest chart position
#76 Hot 100B side of "Surfin' Safari")

 ZAP! YOU'RE  MORGANIZED!  



Smoking the tires and peeling off the
starting line, The Beach Boys getting
your motor running with "409," the
charting B side of their first big
hit-- "Surfin' Safari."

Good Morgan, Boss Angeles...
and good Morgan to you wherever you are!
I'm Robert W. Morgan, one of the boss jocks
at 93 KHJ, the much more music station in
Los Angeles, moonlighting as a member of
The Shady Bunch here on sister station
S-P-M-M. I'm on a mission to get you
Morganized by playing the greatest
sounds of the sensational 60s.


Speaking of surfin'... this next duo rose to fame alongside the Beach Boys.
Like Brian Wilson's group, they had a string of hits in the surf rock and
hot rod categories and you're about to hear one of those exciting sounds.

It's the title song from the film that starred Fabian, Tab Hunter, Shelley
Fabares and Barbara Eden. Jan And Dean-- "Ride The Wild Surf!"


"Ride The Wild Surf" - Jane And Dean
(Oct. 1964, highest chart pos. #16 Hot 100/#23 Cash Box,
from Aug. 1964 film Ride The Wild Surf)

Robert W. in the Morgan, and that was "Ride The Wild Surf," the title song from
the beachy keen surfing film released in the summer of 1964. The song was written
by Jan Berry, Brian Wilson and Roger Christian and performed by Jan and Dean.
Wild Surf has been called the best Hollywood surf movie of the 1960s. Unlike
typical beach movies that have goofy characters and are played for laughs...
Ride The Wild Surf takes an honest, sincere approach to the sport of surfing.

Some say The Beau Brummels were America's first folk-rock band.
In 1965 the Frisco group went on Hullabaloo and performed their
latest single, and here it is now-- "Don't Talk To Strangers!" 


"Don't Talk To Strangers" - The Beau Brummels
(Nov. 1965, highest chart pos. #52 Hot 100/#53 Cash Box,
perf. on Sept. 27, 1965, ep. of Hullabaloo

Those were The Beau Brummels doing one of their classic songs
"Don't Talk To Strangers," a great sound that never even made
the top 50, because the band's label, Autumn Records, was
going belly up at the time of the single's release.
