Anybody remember Wolfman Jack?

[Larry]

Wolfman Jack down in Baja pumping out megawatts of music and commentary all across the desert southwest.  At the time I worked in Hawaii where I could pick up a feed from California and ship it off to SE Asia.  Sometimes we could send a second feed around the world and with the time delay it would be a natural reverberation.  Commander an autovon line to get call in requests from the region.

Just thought I would comment as I heard a Wolfman replay today.  Any of you all remember?

[Haytrader]

You mean that guy with the extra hair, and the deep raspy voice?
Never heard of him.

Did I see him a few years ago doing a mattress commercial in GA?

[Bibbyman]

The last time I seen him on TV he did a walk-on part on "Married with Children".

[SwampDonkey]

I remember him too. I seem to remember him in something on saturdays mornings when kids watched cartoons.  Definitely not prime time stuff. ;D :D

We had the 'Wolfman Jack show' here in Canada, out of Vancouver in the 70's.  ;D

In the late 60's & early 70's we heard KAAY from Little Rock, with Clyde Clifford hosting Beaker Street. He played 3 hours of "underground music"      8)  late at night.    After a long rendition of some song, he would be zoned out so to speak  ;D , and you would long periods have silence until he realized that the music had ended.  :D

I remember the first time I heard the Wolfman.  I was visiting family in Houston.
I didn't really care for all that surfer stuff.    ;D  I reckon I was pretty square.

[Slabs]

There was a D J out of Nashville, something like "Big John R" that kept us rockin in the late evenings in the Southeast back in the late 50's.  Possibly from WLAC.

Somebody jump in here and fill in the full I D for we seniors.

American Graffiti is one of my prized VHS  trophies.

[easymoney]

he gon' rate your record high.
Clap for the Wolfman,
you gon' dig him 'til the day you die."

The little country radio stations all had to sign off at sundown.  At night, I remember WLS, WCKY, WLW, etc.  Memphis had WHBQ; the most popular DJ in town was Elvis's buddy, George Klein.  He had the 6-10 P.M. shift.  His sign-off song was Jesse Blevins' "Goodnight, my love".  How many times have I sat at the local hamburger drive-in listening to that at 10:00.
Ah, the songs of our youth;  ain't love grand?  Remember Tommy Edwards, "It's all in the game";  Lenny Welch, "Since I fell for you";  the Fleetwoods, the Paris Sisters, Jerry Butler, Ivory Joe Hunter, Brook Benton and hundreds more.  We gave that up for rip rap and hip hap? 

[Don_Papenburg]

It's too bad the FCC mess up the clear channel radio stations by letting other station use the freqencies .   It was realy neet to listen to stations from other parts of the country.
