… Today’s R&B and Classic Soul …
Wrapping up the century and working his last and longest gig at 55, Lee Simms holds forth  in San Francisco stereo  in the summer of 1999. Lee says that many KISQ-FM (KISS FM) listeners thought he was black, like most of the staff. Programming excecutive Steve Rivers had listed Lee as one of his all-time favorite jocks in a Gavin article, and when Lee called to say “Thanks”, Rivers arranged a gig in the city by the bay.
Lee says Rivers did him a tremendous favor. KISQ was an AFTRA gig, and Lee’s long-term engagement there allowed him to fully fund his pension. Not all radio careers end up as well, but Lee was able to retire comfortably.
