About Primary Contributor Ken Deutsch


Ken Deutsch (2012)

My name is Ken Deutsch, but for years I was known as Ken R, president of Ken R. LLC. From 1980 through 2000, I owned a recording studio in Toledo, Ohio that produced resings of PAMS jingles for clients around the world. However, my inspiration was always the original PAMS of Dallas, which produced exceptional jingles between roughly 1960-1974. (Today PAMS Productions is owned by my friend, Jon Wolfert. You can get the full story at www.PAMS.com.)

But before I owned the studio, I was a jingle collector or "jingle freak" as some people put it. That meant I would beg and borrow jingles from friends, radio stations or DJs and get analog (and sometimes hissy) dubs of them. I started collecting in about 1964, but didn't know anyone else did this until about 1970 when Jon and I began corresponding. You mean there are OTHER folks who collect these? Cool!

A small group of us used to exchange what we called "sampler" tapes, which featured the best of our new acquisitions in montage form. Jon Wolfert, Ken Justiss, Ron Harris and a few other crazies were the best at assembling these. I began putting together my own "mix tapes," and had great fun with it.

In 1980 I lucked into an unusual purchase. I won't go into the details here because the story is told in my various books, but suffice it to say I ended up with over 3000 reels of primo PAMS jingles from the company itself, including the instrumental (backing) tracks.

Since that time I have continued to put together these "samplers," for my own amusement and for the amusement of a few friends. Now, through this wacky thing called the Internet, I am able to share them with a wider audience. I do not sell these samplers; they are free to all who wish to enjoy them with me. (I do sell electronic copies of my jingle books through Kindle, available at www.kendeutsch.com.)

If you enjoy PAMS jingles, or even jingles from other producers, have fun! If you REALLY like PAMS jingles, buy some from Jon Wolfert at JAM/PAMS in Dallas!

And please feel free to write me with any comments or suggestions!

HAVE YOU HEARD? SAMPLER
By Ken Deutsch

Ken says: "'Have You Heard?' is a sampler that took about seven months to complete, most of which was spent listening to virtually every PAMS jingle in my collection. There are uncredited guest appearances by Bill Meeks (posthumously), Ron Harris, Jon Wolfert, Ken Justiss and others. Rated PG for brief nudity and hardly any embarrassing Sonovox words."
