… It ain’t easy bein’ heavy …
Lee “Baby” Simms has worked at stations all over the country, including WPOP in Hartford, KRLA, KMET and KROQ in Los Angeles, KCBQ in San Diego, KYA in San Francisco, and KOOL in Phoenix.
This WMYQ aircheck, made in November 1974, (between KMET and KRLA), highlights Simms’ personable style and includes his editorial comments regarding Harry Chapin, The Undisputed Truth, The O’Jays and George Harrison. You’ll also hear Lee “Baby” walk up the entire intro to Stairway to Heaven.
Simms was born in Charleston, S.C. and quit high school at 16. According to Don Barrett’s L.A. Radio People, Simms says, “Good jocks are those that do good, unexpected things.” This wonderfully entertaining aircheck is representative of that philosophy.
