'I don't think I'll ever forget the first time I laid eyes on Jay Nelson. I had only been with the station for a short time, and was finishing my shift on the all-nighter... new djs always “broke in” on the overnight shift, since there were fewer listeners who might hear the occasional technical glitch or in my case hearing the call letters as “CKLW” instead of “CHUM”...

January 19, 1974 CHUM Chart - 'Seasons In The Sun' spent one week at the top of the charts

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jacks

Terrence Ross "Terry" Jacks (born March 29, 1944, Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer and environmentalist.


Following The Chessmen, Susan Pesklevits (Susan Jacks) asked Terry to accompany her on guitar and, after adding Craig McCaw, the The Poppy Family was formed. Craig McCaw later introduced Satwant Singh to the group. Susan and Terry were married in 1967. The Poppy Family had several hits in Canada and internationally, their biggest being "Which Way You Goin' Billy?", which went to #1 in Canada and #2 on the Billboard charts in the U.S. The song was written and produced by Terry Jacks. Jacks earned a Gold Leaf award in 1970 for his production work while with the Poppy Family.

In the early 1970s, Terry and Susan travelled to L.A. where Terry was to work with The Beach Boys to record the song "Seasons in the Sun" but the project was never finished and they returned to Vancouver making the decision to record the single themselves

The couple recorded two more albums before Susan left the marriage in 1973: Susan's solo album I Thought of You Again... and Terry's solo album Seasons In The Sun. The song "Seasons in the Sun", released in late 1973 on his own record label, Goldfish Records, became the largest-selling international single by a Canadian artist at that time and earned Jacks two Juno Awards. It is Rod McKuen's 1965 adaptation of "Le moribond", a 1962 original by Belgian singer Jacques Brel; for his version, Jacks made some modifications to the lyrics. In the United States,[1] in Great Britain and in Germany, in these countries it was released on Bell Records, the song went to #1 on the charts. The B-side of "Seasons In The Sun" was a song about a woman asking her butcher to put in the bone with the rest of her meat order entitled "Put the Bone In".

Larry Solway (former CHUM host) dead at 83

Larry Solway, TV and radio broadcaster, dies at 83


Larry Solway’s deep booming radio voice brought him fame and sometimes controversy. Not even cancer could quiet the audacious – and often abrasive – broadcaster

In the 1960s he was at CHUM, hosting talk radio shows like Speak Your Mind, taking thousands of calls from Torontonians a year on all kinds of subjects with all kinds of opinions.

READ: Talk radio pioneer Larry Solway let listeners speak their minds
..........................

Direct dial citizen's forum

Broadcast Date: March 7, 1965
"Make sense fast, I'm running out of time and patience," says Speak Your Mind radio host Larry Solway to a caller rambling about reform schools. It's a night like any other as Seven Days rides shotgun with Solway for his two-hour tour of switchboard duty at CHUM radio. Logging 7,000 calls a year, Solway takes it as good as he gives it. "I don't get offended," he says to a caller worried his views might rankle the prickly host. Then with the push of a button, the next caller cues up to speak their mind into the broadcast night.

Scott Carpenter (a.k.a. Pat Bergin) writes about Wolfman Jack on '40 years in broadcasting or My Life As An Idiot!'

From: 40 years in broadcasting or My Life As An Idiot!

Bob Smith. alias Wolfman Jack, worked at CHUM for awhile in the 70's. He was quite the character as you might imagine!

Smitty grew up in Brooklyn, and was a huge fan of “Moondog” Alan Freed. The “Wolfman” part of the name came from Bob's love of horror films, the “Jack” from hip phrases of the time such as “Hit the road, Jack .” He based his gravely voice on Howlin' Wolf's singing style. Smitty began his radio career in Newport News, VA as "Roger Gordon and Music in Good Taste." As you might imagine, THIS particular segment of Da' Woofman's career was somehow missing from his official resume. ... Read more: 40 years in broadcasting or My Life As An Idiot!
