WIBG Philadelphia Survey from November 20, 1967

Another classic survey from WIBG Philadelphia. This one features Billy Joel's group The Hassles at #77, The Kit-Kats at #44, and Thorinsheild(?) at #79. Click to enlarge. Also note #9 is Victor Lundberg's "An Open Letter To My Teenage Son", and #86 is, "A Letter To Dad", from Every Fathers Teenage Son. Cheaper than stamps, I guess. Wait, weren't stamps 3 cents?

WIBG Philadelphia Survey November 06 1967

This survey may contain the peak number of genres ever played on one station. The late 60s saw the coexistence of rock, pop, soul, surf, british, classic pop, jazz, and local rock on surveys from  around the country. WIBG's Top 99 had room for Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Dusty Springfield, Joe Tex, Cher, Keith, Beach Boys, and Ramsey Lewis and Hugh Masakela, and on the air as well. It was truly a melting pot of music that doesn't exist today. Click to enlarge.

WIBG Philadelphia Survey March 25 1963

Another Top 99 survey from Wibbage. Note Don L. Brink on the bottom, soon to be known as Scotty Brink. Study the groups in the survey carefully, in less than a year the Beatles would arrive and many of these groups would never chart again.
