KHJ Thirty - June 19, 1973
93/KHJ Boss Radio: A Look Back

Here's "One Tin Soldier" in its second go-round by Coven, this time MUCH bigger than in 1971.
Note the title here for Maureen McGovern's song. Subtle.
I didn't catch that Steve!
That's awesome!
"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" remains a Bette Midler song in my mind, since I hadn't heard the Andrews Sisters' original when Midler's was a hit.
The lowering of jock standards had already begun. Drew starts installing medium-market stock-jocks thus killing KHJ.
Survey erratum: "Will It Go Round In Circles" by Billy Preston has the "Weeks on Survey" listed as 5. It should be 6.
KHJ was taking payola from MGM Records in 1973. This is probably why "One Tin Soldier" hit number one on the KHJ Charts in 1973 even though it didn't even make the top 40 on Billboard. There were many other MGM singles that charted much higher on KHJ than nationally; Donny Osmond for one, was not nearly as popular in the rest of the country as he seemed to be on KHJ.
