Love every bit of this. I also never heard that song and reading the lyrics, the Jello ad made a risky choice! In the news article they list different kind of informants one of them being T. O.. what is that? Do you know.
Fascinating! Of course I remember "The Letter" from Top 40 read in my youth (southern Michigan - CKLW out of Windsor, Ontario), but "Sweet Cream Ladies" is new to me -or maybe I'd just forgotten...
OMG baby Alex Chilton singing "who get tired of vanilla every day"!!! I had never heard this song, though I was born in 1967 and have listened to a lot of 60s music. I didn't know Chilton was so young when "The Letter" came out either! I am absolutely loving this series in a million ways.

I just love all the history you uncover.
