      With all the talk on the “All Canadian Montage” about Ron Hicklin…here are a few examples.

        I can never get enough of these L.A. vocals. That KFI “Big Sound” cut is amazing.

        Those downtempo soft cuts are simply beautiful. Stuff like the original WMGK sings of Magic Music, or the “you in the moonlight” cut from the You campaign. And you ever hear the “KOY makes you wanna fly” cut from their Ed Yelin custom? Great stuff.

        Back when I still had my collection, I think I sent Barras a copy of the beautiful-music jingles Ed Yelin did with the Hicklin singers for WSRS. I’d love to hear those again…

          I’m the same – love the arrangements and vocals and so-clever lyrics. I do wonder what most listeners must have made of them on the air. Thanks very much for posting.

            I would guess that most listeners really don’t appreciate the lyrics. Listen to some of Draper-Blore’s packages for WCAR & WCFL..or…Hugh Heller’s custom packages. Their “plays on words” are exceptional….but I don’t think the average listener even realizes it. The same with Ron Hicklin & Ed Yelin…and…Yup…got some Yelin stuff right here

              Dick Hamilton wrote some stuff for Ed Yelin, overlapping with his work for TM. After leaving Heller, Dick Hamilton had his own company, Dick Hamilton Enterprising, and did stuff for others on a work-for-hire basis (e.g. TM, Ed Yelin, Klein &).

              Everything about Hamilton’s stuff was great, he was a mad genius. :)

                  Not sure, there were many L.A. session vocalists and the only ones I can identify by listening to them are the core Hicklin group.

                    Wow…I worked at WPRO for many years and never knew these Hicklin jingles existed!

                      I don’t believe WPRO ever aired them. They were done by Dick Hamilton for Ed Yelin; I only learned of them when I visited Ron Harris years ago and saw that package, and the Yelin demo that Tom excerpted, in his collection.

                      I believe Ron was a liaison with Mr. Hamilton while he was employed by TM Productions; that would explain why he had a lot of reels of Hamilton-related stuff.

                        The WSRS stuff goes back a few owners..mid 70s

                          Links to SC seem to not work anymore. Was looking forward to the sample.
