1961 was a busy
year for PAMS starting with Series 16, "Sound of the City."
Singer Terry Lea Jenkins was utilized as the solo
vocalist for this record-length song, customized for each
market. Titled "My Home Town," the background instrumental track
was always the same, but lyrics were changed for each city to
call out some of the local points of pride. Many stations chose
to press their city song onto a 45 RPM disc to distribute.
WTMA's "Charleston My Home Town"
45 rpm record
(The Sonovox Waltz from Series 18 is on the flip side)
Later in 1961 PAMS
produced other popular jingle packages including Series 17, "New
Frontier" and Series 18, "Sonosational." It was also the year
PAMS moved into its new studio on Office Parkway.
