… Chef Boy R Jay …
Jay Johnson is one of my all-time favorite jocks. I don’t know all the stations where he worked, but he did work the San Antonio market at one time. I heard Jay on Chicago’s WGRT (later to be WJPC) where he was Orange Juice Jay in the morning. He was wooed away to WVON, the urban music giant.
WVON had great personalities like Joe Cobb (the voice of Soul Train, at least, at the beginning) Herb Kent (The Cool Gent), Bill “Butterball” Crane, E. Rodney Jones, Cecil Hale, Richard Pegue, Pervis Spahn, and others.
After WVON, Jay Johnson ventured to WTLC in Indianapolis to serve as PD and handle on-air duties. He was Super Jay in his twilight at WVON and carried over into the Indianapolis market.
