Simply awesome! The singer on the Coal commercial during the newscast; Ed Bruce, I think? Certainly sounds like him.

@200WD45 Not sure if it is Ed Bruce, but I would say the commercial reminds me of other voice overs from that day. We were still in the height of the Smokey and the Bandit, Dukes of Hazzard, Urban Cowboy, and the trucker and CB radio craze. The deep voiced country man was a trusted person

where is big john gillis at now days???

[indychauffuer]

@rebelrecycler as far as I know, enjoying the retirement life. He did make a cameo appearance on WKLU during their last hour of being an independently owned rock station before it was taken over by the Christian group who owns it now, He had great things to say about KLU as it reminded him about how radio was when he started
