I was at the Kentucky State Fair this week and saw a WKLO Survey from the week of May 18-25, 1958 on display in the antiques section. (Unfortunately, it didn't win any award--but I would give it an honorary blue ribbon for this website!)
It is similar in format to the June 1958 survey on this website. It has the Paul Cowley logo printed in dark green and the survey results mimeographed on the page. Unfortunately, it was folded in half so only the top 20 songs could be read.
My rough transcription of the survey was as follows (apologies for any errors):
1. Purple People Eater--Sheb Wooley
2. Twilight Time--The Platters (LW--1)
3. All I Have To Do Is Dream--Everly Brothers
4. Big Man--4 Preps
5. Let The Bells Keep Ringing--Paul Anka
6. Witch Doctor--David Seville
7. For Your Love--Ed Townsend
8. Kewpie Doll--Perry Como
9. Sugar Moon--Pat Boone
10. Henry Goes To The Moon--Ruff n' Ready
11. Looking Back--Nat King Cole
12. Secretly--Jimmie Rodgers
13. Book of Love--Monotones
14. That's My Doll--Donnie White
15. Return To Me--Dean Martin
16. What Am I Living For--Chuck Willis
17. Do You Wanna Dance--Bobby Freeman
18. Walkin' The Low Road--Randy Sparks
19. Chanson D'Amour--Art & Dotty Todd
20. Rumble--Link Wray
The name of the exhibitor was not visible. However, if the owner happens to read this, would you please send a scan or a copy to John Quincy?
Now, back to the fair...
