I never heard that claim about Murray the K--was he the one floating the idea? Hmm, seems a little bogus.<br><br>While I'm more into later music, I still have a great fondness for all eras, including the 60's. One of my personal favorites has always been the Kinks. A HUGE influence on music, but so many people know little to nothing about them!<br><br>All my best,<br>Beth<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715848255210778936.post-81509462861910772892008-09-18T12:30:00.000-04:002008-09-18T12:30:00.000-04:00Murray The K was not the 1st DJ to play The Beatle...Murray The K was not the 1st DJ to play The Beatles on NY Radio. However, he was the 1st person to promote the group. Murray was very good in promoting the music he played as well as himself. Murray was working at the time for WINS which was losing the ratings battle to WABC and WMCA for the most Top 40 listeners. I assume he did what he did to increase the stations and his ratings as well. I was a big fan of Murray The K and I really miss him.-snofan1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
