THE GREAT AMERICAN SUMMER

 

PRODUCED BY JIM HAMPTON. DRAPER & HAMPTON, INC., LOS ANGELES

 

Syndicated around the nation on the CBS Radio Network some thirty-eight years ago, Jim Hampton (WXYZ, WABX, WJBK, WCAR) recently pulled this special programming from his radio archives and provided this site with 6 hours of the ‘Great American Summer’ shows he produced in the early-1980s.

In these programs you will hear great memories, events, and many of the hits by artists whose records were heard playing on the radio during the summer months the year they were released. 

 Jim Hampton and Ken Draper (WCAR, WCFL;Chicago) — Draper & Hampton, Inc., Los Angeles — produced this special summer programming for the CBS Radio Network.

The opening theme song was sung by, written and produced by production director Scott Chapin. Special programming features written by assistant writer, Scott Paton.

Program hosted by the great Tom Murphy (WCFL)

In closing out the 2019 summer, Motor City Radio Flashbacks features today the final hour of CBS Radio ‘Great American Summer’.

 

So long, summer . . .  🙁 Hope your 2019 summer was fabulous! ?
