THE TOP 35 HITS ON WXYZ ON THIS DATE IN 1966
WXYZ 1270 Detroit Sound Survey; Week no. 37 issued December 26, 1966 under Lee Alan, Program Director; WXYZ
(WXYZ 1270 Detroit Sound Survey for December 26, this date 1966; survey courtesy the Jim Heddle Collection. For the previous weekly WXYZ December 19, 1966 survey click here).
Addendum: This dated WXYZ playlist would be the very last Detroit Sound Survey ever to go to print. By the time this December 26, 1966 Detroit Sound Survey was issued, ABC, which owned WXYZ in 1966, already had made the decision to drop the station’s popular top 40 sound and would instead switch over to a conservative adult-oriented, album formatted sound coined as, “Sounds Of The Good Life.” For this back-story see our archived MCRFB feature ‘WXYZ Dumps Top 40 ‘Detroit Sound Survey‘ (March 18, 1967) by going here.
