GRADUATION TIME! WXYZ JINGLES ’63 HIGH SCHOOLS

WXYZ SALUTES THE DETROIT  HIGH SCHOOLS * A-B-C * 1963-1964

THE WXYZ ‘PAMS’ HIGH SCHOOLERS. ABOUT THESE JINGLES

*****

In 1963, WXYZ commissioned PAMS of Dallas to create a plethora of outstanding jingles saluting the Detroit area high schools. They were aired mostly during the Detroit high school graduation season and were highlighted as well on WXYZ during the fall Detroit high school football season, 1963 and 1964.

You will find every Detroit high school in the surrounding WXYZ listening area recognized in order — A through Z — throughout these collage of specially made PAMS jingle packages Motor City Radio Flashbacks presents here, and for the first time, all this week.

Which ever high school you may have attended on the Detroit map at the time, you can bet WXYZ paid homage to your school as named — and its colors — in the 1960s. 

Listen here.

From All Saints High School to Cody High — in this segment — you just may find your high school mentioned here, as they were aired on WXYZ Radio 1270 over 53 years ago.

HAPPY GRADUATION WEEK, DETROIT! 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS! LEE ALAN

*****

At this time, Motor City Radio Flashbacks would like to extend our congratulations and best wishes to a Detroit radio legend, Lee Alan.

For those not fully aware, Lee Alan recently announced on his Facebook page he will be leaving his hometown Detroit — “for good” — relocating outside of Michigan (for the very first time) for a warmer location, somewhere, in the south.

And so at this time we say, THANK YOU, Lee Alan. For those special radio moments and wonderful memories you shared with us on Detroit radio “back in the ’60s” (and in the 1970s), “fun radio” as we remembered them on the dial — long time ago. 🙂

You may be leaving us. But remember always Detroit will hold a special place for you, here, in its heart. Always
