Information/Write-up

Promotional record produced for CKOC Hamilton by the U.S. advertising/jingle house Richard H. Ullman, Inc. (sometimes credited as Richard Ullman & Associates, Hollywood, CA).

The single features Wonderful Hamilton on the A-side, with the B-side labelled Gidget but in fact carrying the same jingle as Hamilton, We Love You.

This was part of a syndicated jingle package Ullman marketed to radio stations across North America (and even Australia). Each version used the same musical backing track with localized lyrics praising different towns and cities.

Recorded by Richard H. Ullman, Inc.

Documented Canadian examples include:
Wonderful Hamilton (CKOC, Hamilton ON)
Wonderful Cities (CHNS, Halifax NS, 1963)
Wonderful Saint John (Saint John NB)
Wonderful Brantford (Brantford ON)
Wonderful Regina (Regina SK)

International versions include Waterbury, CT; Burlington, VT; Erie, PA; Binghamton, NY; Lebanon, PA; and as far afield as Hobart, Tasmania.
