This Exhibit ‘SCOPED (09:27)
Bobby Bennett, aka The Mighty Burner, came to
WOL from Pittsburgh’s WAMO and held the noon to 3 shift (though he is heard in the 3PM hour here.) Bennett’s slick, smooth, fast-talking style fit
right in with the reverberating 1972 version of the “Big O L”. He opened his mic at every opportunity, coming in to, going out of, and even during songs.
This recording features Sheraton’s then-famous 8-oh-oh-325-3535 jingle.
Bobby Bennett later worked at Howard University’s WHUR-FM in D.C. and later as host of Soul Street on XM satellite radio.
Bobby Bennett died near his retirement home in Punta Gorda, FL on Sept. 8, 2015.
