Can someone look up for me what year Jack Anglin wrote "Ashes of Love"?
I just hate it when a song comes true.....

| Don't know when it was written, but he recorded it in October of 1951. |

Thanks Mitch.
I grew up with that tune.
It's been in my head all weekend.

Ray,
You might be remembering a different version of the song than Jacks. I don't kow where you were living in the 60's, but a group from the Allentown, PA area recorded a cover of the song that was very popular in the Allentown area.
Curly Gibson (his stage name) and Merle Becker recorded a version in the 60's

Glenn, it was definitely Johnny and Jack. My dad recorded it using an old Crown 1/4" tape deck piped into a Stromberg Carlson console with a makeshift car radio for receiver. Circa 1962. Probably tuned to WWOL in Buffalo, NY, listening to Ramblin' Lou.
We played the hell out of those tapes.

There is no doubt I probably heard them too. When I was a kid, my parents had a cabin in the Pocono Mountains of eastern PA. When the atmospheric conditions were right, we could receive the Wheeling Jamboree from Wheeling. Some time in the night, Wheeling would fade and then my father would tune in the Grand Ole Opry. Those were the days.
If you were in Bradford back in those days,I bet you could get rock & roll on CKLW out of Detroit/Windsor.

Glenn, then the AM dial looked like this...
550 WGR AM Buffalo
660 NBC NY
770 WABC NY (Cousin Brucie)
800 CKLW Windsor
890 WLS
1000 WCFL (I was listening the night Larry Lujack got canned)
1520 WKBW Buffalo (with a colinear antenna farm pointed right at Key West.
I can't remember the numbers for WRVA, WWVA, and WSM
FM Radio hadn't been commercialized yet. That didn't happen around here until about 1970.

Exactly!
I don't remember getting the Buffalo stations, but NBC and ABC for sure. Head under the covers with my little transistor radio.
Where we lived, you could point the TV antenna (what's that?, all the youngsters will ask) south and the Philly stations, and turn it northeast and get the New York stations. TV heaven back then.
Since FM is line of sight transmission, all the mountains around Bradford (I think) would have made reception hard. Your first FM station was probably pretty local. Been out that way a few time, but I don't think I ever made it to Bradford.[/b]
