As a Fomer "Intern of W.BLACK.MUSIC.XPERIENCE" IN 1981 when I had my opputunity to interview" Marco Spoon " Your Spoon in the afternoon,for broadcasting school. working in the record library was the "Hook-Up". I was already the Music Man it just made my popularity grow more. I hate thathe they left us back in 1989. They were "THE REAL DEAL" WBMX !!!!
Wow my handsome brother sitting next to tom joyner. Lee Michaels winner out of 10 programmers he's still #1 of all time never has been beaten.Was program Director for WBMX .
The incredible foreshadowing in Bobby O'Jay's thoughts on a black host attracting a national audience...the guy sitting to his left would go on to do just that.
Damn shame that Tom Joyner's show is off the air in Chi-town--hopefully that'll be fixed sooner than later.
This was back when djs ruled the radio! They played more good music instead of the same 20 songs that the Corporations want them to play. Music now is such a downer not really uplifting or even fun! Most music is about someone taking advantage of someone else. Boy do we miss Bob Wall what a great talent!!!!!!! Even Tom Joyner was great back in the day.Forgot how he looked with hair.
people that hear the tom joyner morning show don't realize he started on WJPC am chicago. i remember bob wall @ WGCI. i grew up on chicago radio and t.v. my favorite dj was richard pegue(WGCI FM- WVON AM) who had the dusties show on saturday nights from midnite to 6am.i have two shoeboxes of high bias tapes i recorded from that show all in mint condition. they are collectors classics. my dad used to listen to pervis spann "the blues man" REST IN PEACE E. RODNEY JONES AND PINK HOUSE!
soln4suh, your comments really took me back to the "good old days"! I am ashame to say that I had completely forgotten most of the DJs you listed in your response to this video.
don't be ashamed. the ONLY reason why i know all of these dj's is because as a kid i'd rather sit in front of the radio or stereo than anyting else. i was addicted to music...well,....i'm still addicted to music!! LOL!
soln4suh, those were the days! For one of my birthdays, my aunt bought me a black, "Sanyo" radio - with TV band! I thought I was a big shot! LMAO! Back then, you didn't mind waiting all day to hear your favorite song! But, nowadays, I stay as far away from the radio as possible! :-(
sadly,i have to agree. back then my parents bought me one of those jvc boom boxes that had one gigantic woofer and a tweeter. it was one of those better ones because it had the nerve to have a tape counter and a high bias/metal tape switch,LOL! i would tape songs off of the radio ALL DAY and just like you,i thought i REALLY..HAD..IT..GOIN'..ON!! lol. now the newest thing on my home stereo is the radio because all i play are records tapes and cd's.
and in the car,if it's not a cd,i listen to talk radio. back in the days a dj had more lee-way to play some of the songs he wanted and still keep the rotation list covered. now a COMPUTER PICKS THE MUSIC TO BE PLAYED! :-0! and its the saaaame 20 songs ALL DAY! not to disrespect the dj's nowadays because they do the best they can-but they all have cookie-cutter personalities! the dj's back then had more style in my opinion.
Hey Chi-town radio fans. This is Bob Wall's (the white guy in the pig hat) oldest daughter, Jami Kath. I'd appreciate if we could keep the commenting clean.
I'm working on putting together an album of my dad's WGCI work, including Cosmic Pig and other parody classics. Send me a message if you'd like to stay updated.
We all had hair but look at us now. Bobby is in Memphis, Tennessee at WDIA-AM, Tom is all over the US, Bob Wall took his own life and I'm in Lanham, MD working for Radio One as the National Program Director for the News Talk Network (Syndication One) and XM Channel 169 The Power. Does any one have the full show is was 30 min long?

Bob Wall was a great Jock on the old power 107.5 WGCI.
That station ruled Chicago from the late 70's through
the late 80's. And still going strong today.
