WCCO Radio, serving the key Minneapolis/St. Paul market, holds the honor for airing the nation's first singing commercial for Wheaties in 1926. The historic event is vividly told in The Night Jingles Were Born. The jingle raised Wheaties' awareness; soon becoming a leading brand in the cereal industry. And it triggered WCCO's string of broadcast milestones, to make it one of the nation's great stations. Jingles became an integral part of radio, and was a successful industry all its own. The author, Dick Hill, was a pageboy during WCCO's heydays, when nearly every radio was tuned to 8-3-0. His station experiences, inside skinny, and vignette writing style, make the book a joy to read. WCCO owned Saturday night with its two-hour musical extravaganza, Saturday Nite Radio Party, airing legendary shows like Cedric Adams' Stairway to Stardom. Hill worked in every nook and cranny of the station, and has amazing stories about celebrities that visited WCCO. Because of social and technological changes, listener habits started changing in the 1960's, and affected ratings. Listeners no longer wanted full service format stations that featured live 20-piece orchestras. Consequently, WCCO took a free fall in the marketplace. But as a proven pioneer, they picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and reinvented themselves into a successful news/talk format station. The Night Jingles Were Born is a smart read for media and history buffs - and a smart book to grace any coffee table.

During the fateful summer of 1966, a handful of restless and frustrated deejays in New York and San Francisco began to conceive of a whole new brand of radio, one which would lead to the reinvention of contemporary music programming. Gone were the screaming deejays, the two minute doowop hits, and the goofy jingles. In were the counterculture sounds and sentiments that had seldom, if ever, made it to commercial radio. This new and unorthodox form of radio―this radical departure from the Top 40 establishment―reflected the social and cultural unrest of the period. Underground radio had been born of a desire to restore substance and meaning to a medium that had fallen victim to the bottom-line dictates of an industry devoted to profit. In this compelling and intriguing account of the counterculture radio movement, over 30 pioneers of the underground airwaves share insights and observations, and tell it like it was.Michael Keith has interviewed some of the most prominent figures of underground radio and has woven their reflections into a seamless, engrossing oral history of one of radio's most extraordinary moments. From the first broadcasts of a Screamin' Jay Hawkins record and a live Love-In and Be-In Rock 'n Roll concert, to the ultimate corporate takeover of the commercial underground airwaves, Keith provides the reader with a unique and fresh look at this turbulent era. There had never been anything like commercial underground radio before its '60s debut, and there has not been anything like it since its premature demise in the early 1970s. The innovativeness and boldness of underground radio brought a new golden age to the medium. Ignoring playlists, rigid programming formulas and program clocks, the underground deejays attracted a dedicated following of maturing baby boomers.

(Amadeus). Morton Gould (1913-1996) was a dominant force in American music throughout most of the 20th century. This phenomenally talented composer, conductor, arranger, and pianist worked in vaudeville and on radio, from Tin Pan Alley to Broadway, all the while churning out jingles, symphonies, and everything in between. His popularity, however, may have been the reason that he never received due recognition for his concert music. Peter Goodman began working on this biography with Gould himself more than a year before his death and was allowed full access by the family to all of Gould's diaries and files.

We see them in flashing kaleidoscopes of colour and sound on television, splashes of neon on billboards, on glossy spreads in newspapers and magazines. We hear the peppy jingles on the radio. We even find them being sneaked past us as underwriting on public television and radio. Advertising is like a song Americans can't get out of their heads.

Double vinyl LP pressing. When the prevailing guitar jingle of 'Mr. Jones' cascaded over radio in the early 90s, it was a sure sign that the Counting Crows were a musical force to be reckoned with. Their 1993 debut album, August and Everything After, burst at the seams with both dominant pop harmonies and rich, hearty ballads, all thanks to lead singer Adam Duritz. The lone guitar work of 'Mr. Jones' coupled with the sweet, in-front pull of Duritz's voice kicked off the album in full force. The
