What is this, Bob, the soundtrack to my freshman year in college? I had a hard time studying with WIBG(Radio 99) in Philly on my radio constantly with r&b tunes like "Needle in a Haystack" and all those early British Invasion records. Tuned in to the recently decrased Jerry Blavat(the Geator with the Heater) quite a lot as well.
