Below are music
charts from KRLA, one of the two major top 40 radio
stations in Los Angeles in the 1960s, KFWB being the
other. These charts demonstrate the fact that
Chicano artists, most from East L.A., shared the top 40
with major artists of the era such as The Beatles, The
Supremes, Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, James Brown,
and Ray Charles. Below each chart, I list the
Chicano artists, their hit song title, and chart
position.
