MCRFB Note: Knocked off from the No. 1 position last week by the Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man,” The Four Tops, “I Can’t Help Myself,” previously was the No. 1 single (1 week) on Billboard for the week of June 13-19, 1965. This Motown single was on top at No. 1 — twice — on the chart, two separate weeks during June-July, 1965.
CKLW-AM BACK ON THE RADIO WITH: TOM CLAY!
CKLW HEARD 24/7 ON MOTOR CITY RADIO FLASHBACKS
MCRFB AIRCHECKS: CKLW-AM * Last Show; June,’64 * TOM CLAY
TOM CLAY’S LAST SHOW ON CKLW
While this 1964 CKLW Tom Clay aircheck is less than stellar in its audio presentation, MCRFB feels this aircheck is significantly historic in content as it was recorded June 18 and June 19, 1964, the 19th having been Tom Clay’s last show heard on CKLW radio in Detroit. In this aircheck, Tom Clay talks about the Beatles, reads letters from CKLW listeners, mentions Terry Knight (formerly WJBK; his eventual replacement at CKLW) and also Clay talks about his tribute to JFK, commenting on his recording of “Six White Horses.”
Also in this feature today Tom Clay is heard firing off a few words towards a Detroit newspaper daily as well, for bringing up whatever role (as the daily implied in print) he was accused having played during the payola scandal earlier in his Detroit radio career, while a disk jockey at WJBK in the late-1950s. Tom Clay’s last day on CKLW was on a Friday, June 19, 1964. 51-years ago.
