Top Ten Tuesday: KOWB (1340 AM, Laramie, WY), 9/24/55

Things haven’t changed much at KOWB in Laramie, Wyoming. They’ve moved to 1290 AM and changed format to new-talk-sports… well, maybe a lot has changed. They were doing Top 40 music in 1955, so here’s their Top Ten from September 24; you’ll notice that a lot more rock & roll and rhythm & blues are taking over.

10. Les Baxter, “Unchained Melody”
11. Les Baxter, “Wake The Town And Tell The People”
12. Les Paul and Mary Ford, “Hummingbird”
13. The Cheers, “Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots”
14. The Four Aces, “Love Is A Many-splendored Thing”
15. Bill Haley & His Comets, “Rock Around The Clock”
16. Perry Como, “Tina Marie”
17. Boyd Bennett & His Rockets, “Seventeen”
18. Pat Boone, “Ain’t That A Shame”
19. Mitch Miller, “The Yellow Rose Of Texas”

And that’s Top Ten Tuesday for September 20, 2022.
