DEE JAY’S CORNER...

Here we go rockin’ right along into 1958 -- which should be a record
year for NEW stars! You started the trend in 1957 by boosting to
stardom such unknowns as Paul Anka, Sam Cooke and the Rays... and you’ve
already spotted Johnny Nash, Ricky Nelson and the Four Voices among
newcomers likely to lead the “Top 21” in coming months! Be sure you
resolve to hear all the new hits -- and new stars -- FIRST at 570, 
FIRST on your dial!
