At 18:10 is the short-lived "Now Radio comes alive, you're listening to KB" appears. Apparently not many people liked those as well as I did. I chose the melody "listening to KB" for the logo "WLRN" at Lehigh University on a small jingle package. They were acapella and done by a low cost Dallas company, the name of which I cannot recall. KB's tune was from a Mary Kay cosmetics commercial tag, ", No woman need ever look forty, now there is Mary Kay," Many years later, Tracy Carman confirmed this provenance for me. Thanks for the memory, wish I had saved a dub.
What I would have given to have jingles like this (and others) readily available to create an audition tape when I was a kid. Isolated and ready to go (no splicing block required).
Another gem, Ellis! WPTR out of New York was also a powerhouse around the mid to late sixties. Don't know if you've read it, but try and check out The Harmony of Parts, by John Garabedian, broadcast legend. He has quite a story to tell. He's now in the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
Great one. Thanks Ellis.

Way to go, Ellis!!! Keep it up!!!
Yes I believe Dick Biondi was on there prior to his stint at WLS.
Correct.
Does anyone know who performed the 1970’s jingles ?
