Our next radio show is from 1969 and features a few second-tier country stars on one side with gospel artists on the flip. I say second-tier, but that doesn't make them bad artists. Everyone loves the Jordanaires, even if it's mostly for their work with Elvis. Again, I'm presenting these as the complete radio shows they are, not as a collection of individual snippets. Back when I first shared this in
2007, I think I may have cut it into pieces for you, but I'm much too lazy for that this year. Please give a listen to
Country Christmas (Advertising Division, HQ U.S. Air Force, No Number, Stereo, 1969).
1. The Jordanaires With Marion Worth, Warner Mack And Ray Walker-A Christmas Party With The Jordanaires
2. The Florida Boys And The Singing Rambos-The Gospel Sounds Of Christmas
MEGA
Well, the Air Force was aiming at country stations with this one, it seems. Nice programs!
ReplyDeleteQuite a few were aimed at country listeners. They may have been after a certain demographic...
DeleteErnie,
ReplyDeleteSince we're talking about Gospel groups and radio shows, if I may, I'd like to do a bit of personal Christmas sharity. Here is a classic Christmas radio broadcast from The Gethsemane Quartet of Greensboro, NC. I grew up not too far from where the owners of this group lived and hung around this very station (and others) as a kid, although both some years later than this recording LOL.

Thanks for the share! I'll give a listen when I get the chance, but at the moment I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my flight. It's gonna have to wait until I return.
DeleteYou're welcome, Ernie and thank you! It's only around twenty-six-and-a-half minutes, but it's good, IMHO, that's why I posted it myself LOL. Happy traveling and Merry Christmas, love and praying for y'all.

Well Ernie, I had a very tiring day today. These two programs filled my last two thirds of travel listening pleasure, or no pleasure. That being said, they could not even keep me awake from sleeping through various stations. At least I woke up in time to change for my station.
ReplyDeleteI guess they were not the kind of country I would like to listen to.
Plenty of gospel, too, not just country. And not the biggest country stars of the time...
