I loved WINS it was the only station to listen to and I loved Murray the K (Cousin Brucie)!!! Every Saturday night with all those oldies!!!! And the last hour was if I remember it "HOUR AFTER HOUR, AFTER HOUR" WAS ALL SLOW SONGS!!!! Later in life I worked with the mentally disabled. Cousin Brucie knew our Agency well and I would call up on Saturday nights and talk to him and make song requests!!!! NO THERE WILL NEVER BE A TIME LIKE THE 50's AGAIN!!!!!!</p> <p><em>Moderator's Note: Cousin Brucie (Morrow) came along after Alan Freed and Murray the K. He was at WINS, WABC and WCBS — all AM stations — in New York. Now he's programming oldies on Sirius radio.

Ok, the quality of the video was really bad, visually, BUT it showed Tom Jones at his very best, being natural, gentle and truely an animal lover. For how the old this show was, the gentleness streamed from Tom Jones as he unselfishly shared his bag of popcorns with the zoo animals. That is what I enjoyed the most about watching the performance of a an extremely young Tom Jones. More young performers of today should watch, learn from it and follow the examples of the making of a true and humble person, who's truely a Star.</p> I loved it!!!!

Thanks for the memories!</p> What a hoot!

Alan Freed's Rock 'N' Roll shows. As a young teenager, an Everly Brothers "New York Groupie," getting up almost in the middle of the night, taking the subway so I and my friends could be the first in line. What a wonderful life. We would meet at the theatre and stand and stand and stand until they finally opened the doors,and the rush to the first rows. Once we got inside, we had the BEST SEATS. Then after the shows, getting autographs. Some I remember besides the Everlys are Frankie Avalon and Buddy Holly. WINS was the only station we listened to...there WAS no other station in our minds. Can't remember when transistor radios came in but we did carry around big bulky battery operated predecessors to "boom boxes." Memories keep coming back...my best friend Marie and I doing the Lindy because most of the boys only wanted to do the "slow dances," the "record players" with the 45's. My mom telling me to "turn down that music." OMG, It's almost impossible to stop the flow of these wonderful memories of those fantastic days. WHAT A TIME TO GROW UP...WE HAD A LIFE THAT IS TO BE ENVIED TODAY. I haven't been able to play the video but will keep trying. May bring back even more memories.</p> Oh boy, do I remember.
