This month 50 years ago the first song sold on a new label was "Lonely Bull" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
A&M records was founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. They created a record label with the artist in mind.
This hour will be spent exploring the talents A&M brought to us.

Coming up October 10, 2012 on Listening Lyrics guest author Jessica Kristie will be sharing the music that has inspired her career.
Davis citizens are a mobile bunch, and this means we sometimes have to say good-bye. We offer a fond farewell to DJ AA and Vincent with “Empire Radio,” who have moved on to the Bay Area. Ted and Josh of “The Recollection” are on hiatus at present but rumor has it they plan to return in January. Congratulations to Ted, who welcomed his first son this summer.
The good news here is that change is good, as it opens up new room and opportunities. We have quite a few new shows on KDRT, as well as some old favorites in new spaces. Check the list below to see what's airing on your community radio station, and to see the whole schedule, visit kdrt.org.
Starting with Will Bradley, and Artie Shaw.
Then:
Some sax by Earl Bostic, John Coltrane, Chet Baker, Cannonball Adderley, and Boots Randolph
Some vocals by Rosemary Clooney, Bobby Darin, Eddie Jefferson, and Ella.
Piano and guitar, by Jim Hall with Carl Perkins, and Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass
And some great drum work by Joe Morello.
