Episode 16: ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE SOUND IS WOR-FM PT.1


Listen Later

No theme, group or artist featured for the next few weeks- but a Radio Station!A now-defunct Radio Station, WOR-FM, that had really only about 14 months of glory- and sadly, it's call letters no longer even exist.But it was the First Commercial FM to play Rock & Roll, and it laid the groundwork for what was later to be regarded as the best Rock Station Ever, WNEW-FM.WOR-FM debuted on July 30, 1966.The year before, the FCC made a ruling that made this extraordinary event possible.And I will play the first song they played on that historic day.The words GROOVE, GROOVY,  and particularly HAPPENING will pop up frequently during these shows, lol!For oldsters and youngsters alike, I invite you to join me, because "The Sound Is WOR-FM...New York!"
