… call me ‘Angel of the Morning’…on second thought, shut up and just give me a $20 bill, man …
Terry Young (Bob Bentley) went on to work at some great stations (two of his airchecks from WCAU-FM can be found in other collections on the site). At the time I knew Terry, he was 19 years old and in his first full-time radio job, the 6 to 10 PM shift at WRNC in Raleigh, North Carolina. I made this tape on a reel-to-reel drive that I had at my house – across town from the tower radiating WRNC’s powerful 250-watt nighttime signal!
Although Terry’s voice was very high, he had a pumping style and was able to come up with some pretty funny lines. He was a great devotee of Jackson Armstrong, and you can hear it in his delivery.
Trivia note: The deep voice you hear on the station overlays (“The Rock of Raleigh, WRNC”) is Bill Bussierre, who worked for a while at WCFL (10 PM to 2 AM) as Bill Taylor. He was an old friend of our PD, and he cut the overlays for free.
