Morgan and Wolfman, KHJ, L.A., 1970 (0:14:06)

The Bob Green Collection
… ..Robert’s last day on KHJ, when Wolfman Jack came by. Enjoy… …

And enjoy we will! Thank you, Bob, for a truly classic recording. Robert W. Morgan had been with KHJ from the first week, in 1965, right up until his last hour (featured here), which Uncle Ricky guessed to be late August or early September, 1970. (Since then, our friend Don Jennett has provided a more exact date (see comments): Friday, October 2, 1970.)

Morgan went to WIND, Chicago – Charlie Tuna took his place in the mornings at KHJ; Morgan returned to KHJ in 1972, and Tuna went to KCBQ in San Diego.

This particular ‘check contains multiple moments to remember, including phoners with Emperor Bob Hudson, Charlie Tuna and of course, the Wolfman Jack sing-a-long with Bobby Sherman and Robert W.

Wolfman is introduced as “Dick Whittinghill” at 8:35 into this clip.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
