Heavenly DJs

I'm just getting started with my DJs' Rock & Roll Heaven. If you know of someone who Rocked your world on the radio in the 1950s, '60s or '70s, and is now spinning the vinyls among the stars, let me know and I'll add him or her to our tribute page. Write @ BlastFromYourPast.net (without the spaces)

Like the BFYP site itself, this page exists because of my desire to honor the Radio DJs who pioneered the Rock & Roll Radio industry. This page in particular was inspired by the ascension of Dick Clark, iconic DJ and perennial Rock & Roller, into the boogaloo bounty of Rock & Roll Heaven. He, like others to follow here, will be forever Rockin' out on the pages of Blast from Your Past!
