IV "oldies"

[Bekah]

Okay guys -  who remembers Wolfman Jack?   Although I was never a huge  
fan,  I did get a kick out of him.  He was a DJ out of Mexico or LA or  
somewhere who played late at night on AM radio station XERB.    He had  
an incredible voice and played lots of "soul-type" stuff which was  
also popular at the time.  Many folks thought he was black because of  
his voice and song titles.   I remember him from the mid/late 60s -  
'66?  (thinking where I was re HS).    Had no idea at all he was  
white.    His name so up front and prominent in IV really took me back  
- who else could it be,  but ...  ???

There's a lot out there in the cybers about him but not much of the  
old stuff.  This is good -  (He interrupted the music a lot and on AM  
the reception was spotty sometimes.):
