PROGRAM GUIDE
Wednesday, August 1
VINTAGE RADIO VAULTS 01—THE FRANTIC ONE
The Frantic One presents music here by Jackie Wilson, The Quintones, The Miracles, Kenny Martin, Al Smith, The Imperials, The Spaniels, Dale Hawkins, Jimmy Reed, Chuck Berry, Bill Doggett, Texas Red & The Contours, Peggy Lee, Thurston Harris, Ivory Joe Hunter, Joe Williams & Count Basie, Cozy Cole, Dakota Staton, Sam Cooke, and Eugene Church. Frantic Ernie Durham ruled the airwaves in my home town of Flint, Michigan throughout the 1950s when I was growing up and then moved to WJLB in Detroit where he became beloved as the man who broke Motown Records on the radio. The Frantic One entered my life when I was 12 or 13 and remains today my biggest influence almost 60 years later. The music he played, the way he presented it and his massive intelligence, good taste and poetic delivery turned my little head inside out and went a long way toward making me the person I became as an adult. This composite program provided me by Jim Shaw sounds as good to me today as the moment I first heard these segments in the fall of 1958 as a senior in high school. And incidentally, I attended the dance at the Flint IMA Auditorium advertised in this program.
