WARM AND OZZIE AND HARRIET
Through the years when WARM was a pop radio icon, it played the music of Ricky Nelson, himself a huge early star of rock and roll. That stardom was due to a national TV show on ABC called "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett." Ozzie Nelson was a band leader from the 1930s with his wife being the singer. But Ozzie recognized the power of TV and got a deal with ABC that promoted his son Rick as a teen idol. Wisely Ozzie also had Rick do standards too to meet the generational divide.
But before there was TV, there was radio and WARM carried The Nelson family adventures every Friday night. Here's an ad courtesy of our friend Joe Klapatch.
