Publisher's Synopsis
WDRC was a leading Top 40 AM radio outlet in the Hartford, Connecticut area during the 1960s. This volume reproduces the station's pop music charts from late 1961 through 1965. Also includes an historical outline of the AM and FM divisions of WDRC. Like the other radio charts titles, my goal was to provide a convenient chronological compilation of weekly surveys with corrections of the considerable errors found in both the original sources and in translation to online sites. These radio charts - which exist in the public domain - can be found in a multitude of sources, including original published sheets distributed via retail outlets, mail inquiries, etc., notation of on-air broadcasts, back issues of area newspapers (where stations are located) and music trade periodicals, specialized reference books, and websites interested in historical documentation, most notably, Oldiesloon, musicradio77, and ARSA. I employed multiple sources in the compilation of each radio chart volume in order to provide the most accurate data possible.
