I smiled when I read your lead off video's title Fellaheen51.  Good stuff thanks. I never got to the drag strip. 

I think you know I grew up in the Motor City. Born there in 1961 and left in 1975.  I listened to nothing but the Big 8 out of Ontario on my portable radio. Well WJR too for Tiger games. Had to get my Ernie Harwell fix. 💥

She could hold a dozen AC spark plugs in her cleavage,  and that probably came in handy working in the shop.

I did go to tracks like these though when I was a youngster growing up in suburban Detroit.

Thank you very much for sharing the interesting Free Press article/obituary about Rosalie Trombley  Fellaheen51.

Great to know about the boss who deserved mostly the credit for all the success our favorite radio station achieved.

CKLW  the Big 8 ruled the D in the 60's and 70's. 

 

Happy to report that at age 60 I still have plenty of my Motown soul going strong ! 

 

“The power of AM radio back then was really immeasurable. It was a pretty special time."

 

“If I picked music just to suit my taste, I wouldn’t have my job,” she said in 1971. “I lean heavily toward soul music. I find it hard personally to be critical of any Diana Ross record, for instance.”
