Thank you for posting, after getting into "Memphis" the Musical, I wanted to learn more about the man that they loosely based it on. Interesting

Dewey Phillips first and greatest rock and roll radio programmer, 1949-1959.

I notice a lot of people skip the music to hear Dewey - I understand that but a) it's great music and b) didn't you know Dewey used to sing talk and make up his own lyrics while the songs played?

@memphistube thanks memphistube! glad you like it. I'm working on a later broadcast now where he's advertising Starling meat products, Peoples Furniture Company and playing Sister Rosetta Tharpe singing There Are Strange Things Happening Everyday. Also doing his Diz impressions and talking about grandma getting a signed autograph of Elvis :D
