"The Daddy of Them all is Wolfman Jack"

Friday March 21, 2008
American Radio icon, Wolfman Jack, is getting some respect from BBC News. Sarah Cuddon writes: "Every DJ has their 'radio persona'...The most outrageous - from America's Howard Stern to Britain's Chris Moyles - have come to be known as shock jocks. The daddy of them all is Wolfman Jack, the most outlandish, most thrilling and most elliptical disc jockey of the American 1960s."
