Among the well-known performers who were on WLS shows at this time were Gene Autry, George Gobel (Georgie Goebel), Red Foley, Scotty Wiseman (Skyland Scotty), Lulu Belle, and Patsy Montana. Many lesser-known early country performers are also pictured and described along with staff members and families. By the the late 1950's WLS was on its way to becoming a rock and roll station, and many do not remember its country roots. ; B&W Photographs; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 48 pages
