KFWB in Los Angeles was a Top 40 station from 1958 to 1968, when Westinghouse Broadcasting converted them into an all-news station. Currently they’re playing a Regional Mexican format. The WB in their name refers to Warner Brothers, as it was originally owned by the studio. Here is their Top Ten from March 8, 1958.
- Perry Como, “Catch A Falling Star”
- The Four Preps, “26 Miles (Santa Catalina)”
- The Chantels, “Maybe”
- David Rose, “The Swingin’ Shepherd Blues”
- McGuire Sisters, “Sugartime”
- Jimmie Rodgers, “Oh-Oh, I’m Falling In Love Again”
- The Silhouettes, “Get A Job”
- Elis Presley, “I Beg Of You”
- Royal Teens, “Short Shorts”
- The Champs, “Tequila”
And that’s Top Ten Tuesday for March 8, 2022.
KFWB was my go to station for years. When they went to all news I was devastated.

Tequila is sooooo cool and hip that I am surprised it came out that early. I loved listening to all of these as my mom loved this especially the first song by Como.

That’s a great list, John. I was too young to remember them in the day, but some of these hung around for a while.

Some are outright classics, like “Tequila” and “Catch A Falliung Star.” Glad you liked it!

I think a lot of people loved Perry Como. He had a great voice, his TV show was entertaining and he was just a good person.

Glad you like it. I haven’t featured the LA stations that much, and they’ve had several Top 40 stations over the years. This was also an especially good week for music…
