WMCA Interview of Curtis Knight 1974.wmv

Interview of Curtis Knight by Leon Lewis of WMCA Radio in October 1974, the first 10 minutes. This is from a very old cassette tape, probably the only one in existence and is a little muddy. In it Curtis talks about his relationship with Jimi Hendrix and how they met. It was recorded right after Curtis' biography of Jimi Hendrix was released.

I'm happy to be able to fill in some of the historical gaps. This is why I wrote "Curtis Knight: Living in the Shadow of Jimi Hendrix!"

I'm sorry, but I have a cassette of the interview sent to Curtis before I met him in 1976. It's been in my archives for many years. When the radio station copied the tape they did not include the opening them. It starts at the point that I posted in the video. I've looked around and don't see any recordings that play the theme.

I remember that this show had a very strange opening theme music. Do you have that or have you ever heard a recoding of it online?

@trainluvr I checked and the WMCA Theme song was called "The Good Guys" and was written by the station owner Ruth Meyer and sung by the dj's. It was actually put out on an album titled

The Good Guys Sing" on the United Artists label.

Thank you! I have a lot of memories from my time with Curtis. I am happy to share them.
