Wow -- four new records on this list. Had to be a rarity in 1974.
1974 takes a lot of raps for producing so many groaner hits, but I look at this chart and see a lot of fine singles. And yes, I admit I like "Billy, Don't Be a Hero." The Paper Lace original is interesting to hear, too.
Well, it only took me two and a half years to see the error in the exhibit description. MG left in March, 1978 for TenQ.
If he returned to KHJ briefly, I have never heard about it.
Thanks Michael. I've incorporated your info about his departure into the description.
The only thing I have regarding his return to KHJ is a survey dated 8/21/79. It features his picture on the cover with a caption of "The Gunner 6 - 10PM."
Ray: I'd love to see it! Can you post it?
Michael - I'll send you a copy via e-mail.
I just recently came across two black and white glossy photos of Machine Gun Kelly when is signed and the other one is a picture of him holding a machine gun and it says 93 khj management Eddie hirschler
I didn’t recall a return of MG Kelly to KHJ , but recently came across a copy of an aircheck from his first night in August 1979. I believe he was back for a very brief stay.
