About this user

David Saks was born in Memphis, Tennessee on August 1, 1952. In 1990, the pianist and composer was honored by the Memphis City Council by having two of his songs, "In Memphis" and "One Last Bridge", adopted as the "Official Songs of Memphis" in unanimous resolutions. David has demonstrated empathy and compassion for those less fortunate, has made special effort to assist in community endeavors for the physically challenged, and has supported community service efforts for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. David has been a radio host in Memphis since 1969. He attended Rhodes College and the University of Memphis. In 1972, David was a guest in the Cambridge, Ma. home of Professor John Kenneth Galbraith ("The New Industrial State"), Department of Economics at Harvard University and United States' ambassador to India under President John F.Kennedy. In 1974 he spent a year working and studying in Israel along with students from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Colgate, Baylor and Oxford Universities. In 1975 he was a piano student of Art Bayer at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and the late Herbert Hermann at the University of Memphis. He has played in Steinway Hall in London and New York and is recognized in the Steinway Registry. David is a licensed Realtor® and has dedicated himself to addressing the needs of fair housing while aggressively opposing predatory lending. On August 16,1977 David was visiting Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, and left shortly before Elvis was found unconscious and taken to the hospital. On January 8,1993, Elvis' birthday, David was honored by Graceland and the United States Postal Service as the recipient of the first officially cancelled Elvis Presley first day cover, recognized by the American Philatelic Society as a great national treasure. David,along with other students,put WLYX, Lynx Radio,at Southwestern College at Memphis (now Rhodes College),on the air in 1971.He was a periodic and regular contributor to the station hosting his own program throughout the years 1971 through 1992.

The station was destroyed by a construction accident when an earth mover tore the support wires out of the ground supporting the antenna tower. The antenna cable was pulled through the back of the main transmitter wall. WLYX was a legacy of great entertainment for the Memphis community and surrounding area,and was the voice of this great college for more than twenty years. The equipment was damaged beyond repair and the administration and faculty abandoned the idea of rebuilding the radio station.

David was honored with a scholarship from Rhodes in 1991.

He continues to host his radio program at University of Memphis radio station WUMR http://memphis.edu/wumr/profile_saks.php
