WLS Silver Dollar Survey Dec. 31, 1960

From the WLS 94.9 FM website.

It is great seeing the call letters WLS, although now WLS-FM, back on the air.

There was quite the mix of music being played at WLS way back fifty years ago!!

10. NORTH TO ALASKA-- Johnny Horton
9. RAT RACE-- Richard Maltby
8. ANGEL BABY-- Rosie and the Originals

7. LONELY TEENAGER-- Dion
6. YOU'RE SIXTEEN-- Johnny Burnette
5. A THOUSAND STARS-- Kathy Young
4. MAGNIFICENT SEVEN-- Al Caiola

3. EXODUS-- Ferrante & Teicher
2. ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT-- Elvis Presley
1. WONDERLAND BY NIGHT-- Bert Kaempfret

These are definitely songs you would expect to hear being played together on today's radio. But, that was then.
