RETRO: KIMMER'S CKLW TOP 40 FAVORITES!



Before I crossed over to FM radio and album rock we had CKLW from Windsor, Ontario. They had different broadcast regulations (no FCC) and had a very strong signal. When I lived in Alabama I could pick up CK at night. which made me feel less homesick.

We had a couple of other channels like Keener 13 (no signal in Ann Arbor/Ypsi) and WAAM in Ann Arbor. But it was CKLW that we played non stop on our little transistor radios. Here is my list of my favorite TOP 40 songs from 1965-1969. In no particular order
