Rock Radio 50 Years Ago ~ October 1975

We’re Rockin’ Halloween’s Lyin’ Eyes!   

FINALLY! It’s 10/07/25 and the article is finished. As the Beatles once said, it’s a long and winding road, but I finally made it. Before we get into ROCKtober, we have some unfinished September business. 
       I would be remiss not to mention the last-minute RAMP news on the final day of September, which was also“Radio’s Best Friend’s” 80^th birthday! The spry Art Vuolo belies his age, thank goodness, as the broadcast industry truly relies on the guy who has spent a lifetime being the first to video-record so many pioneering legends behind the Radio mics across the country. And, I am happy to add, without whose help providing contacts, you may not have ever met Blast from Your Past! [Image: Art V (l.) and Shotgun Tom Kelly at his Hollywood star 2013.)

That said, anyone who’s read 50 Years Ago articles for a few years, knows I’m partial to October, Halloween and Wolfman Jack. Not always in that order! You’ll also have noticed that my article titles generally reflect the current month’s Song of Note on the Featured Radio Survey. Proof! There is method to my music madness! But what better month to be slightly mad, than ROCKtober. Let’s get Rockin’! 

Although we can’t Rock out over Halloween without mentioning Wolfman Jack in all his spooky glory, there will be more about him in December, as he kisses the mic on Portland, Oregon’s, KISN/91 survey cover. For now, just know my book series, Blast from Your Past, about pioneering Rock Radio DJs, is dedicated to Wolfie (as he was often affectionately called). So, with his growling persona in mind, let’s learn how Halloween hides Lyin’ Eyes and more! Explore Rock Radio 50 Years Ago this Month …   

º OCTOBER 1975 Radio News & Muse ♪ 
Who did what to get their song on the charts or their name in the news?

October 3^rd: The Who released The Who By Numbers album, making it their seventh studio release. That gives us a peek into the future with “Squeeze Box” becoming the #1 hit from the album. Debuting in November, the tune hit WVOK’s chart in December at #16 … ♪ Mama's got a squeeze box | Daddy never sleeps at night … ♪     

October 18^th: Saturday Night Live has been in the news for scrambling and suffering the ills of the current societal changes, but 50 Years Ago This Month, Simon & Garfunkel made news on SNL’s 2^nd episode, for reuniting on the show after a three-year hiatus. They were trying to make the reunion work, but their appearances together remained spotty.

♪ On Your Tinny Transistor Radio ♪  
Where were you bein’ spooky and having fun in October 1975? I understand Birmingham, Alabama, was a hoppin’ place to be! Here’s a sample of what and who you were listening to …

It’s a good thing I have only one Rockin’ Radio survey to report on this month … I feel like I’ve stepped into the honey of a beehive! WVOK/Birmingham, Alabama, has so much history in the station and their DJs, there’s no room for anything else! Welcome to the WVOK October 11, 1975 Radio history show …

At the top of the chart this month, Neil Sedaka (with buddy co-songwriter, Phil Cody) tried to warn a guy of the witch in the mask, but he didn’t listen. With a catchy, danceable melody, “Bad Blood” reportedly gave Sedaka the best commercial success of his career. ♪ … Bad (bad) blood (blood) | The bitch is in her smile | The lie is on her lips | Such an evil child … ♪    

Not only did WVOK listeners love Neil Sedaka, apparently they are still extremely loyal to their station … it can be generally tough to research Disc Jockeys from decades ago who often have either disappeared into other lives or rose to the highest status in Radio Heaven, with little documentation to honor them … only partially so, for WVOK listeners … their birth families and their listener families keep the memories alive, which allowed me to access some terrific history surrounding their family of Rockin’ DJs.

Thanks to very informative historical websites, like Tripod.com, Bhamwiki.com (a historical wiki specifically about Birmingham, Alabama) and a couple of the DJs’ personal sites, I found that DJs Dan Brennan, Joe Rumore and Johnny Davis had been at WVOK since 1966. Nine years at one station was ultra-rare for a DJ, but I can’t even imagine the stats on three.  Early copies of the station’s surveys on Tripod prove it!
       And that wasn’t even the most astonishing tidbit. Joe Rumore’s website (not a secure site) reported that he spent “4 decades, 33 years and 3 months” at WVOK. To add prestige to longevity, DJ Don Keith may not have stayed at WVOK or even remained a Radio DJ, but he can be forgiven, becoming a prolific screenwriter, filmmaker, and author of more than 40 books!
       Let’s start with the station itself, and then I’ll introduce you to the five dynamic Rock Radio DJs who kept the same line-up at WVOK from 1972 to around 1980. 

Bhamwiki certainly has the in depth history for WVOK-AM 690 and FM. For us, it’s the AM station we’re most interested in, which stretched from 1947 to 1992. It was a family affair … As a joint venture, members of the Brennan and Benns families established the station in Birmingham, eventually giving voice to stations in Montgomery (WBAM-AM) and WAPE-AM in Jacksonville, Florida. Yep, DJ Dan Brennan worked his way up the ladder in the family business.  

WVOK was proud of their 50,000 watts that covered a huge swath of Alabama, from Huntsville down to Montgomery, and even across the line to eastern Mississippi. Along with their DJs the station also lauded local high school sports team standouts, like students for Hayden and Tarrant.  

If you were there and WVOK was your go-to for local news and current Rockin’ music, you’ll also likely know that like most Radio stations, the “morning guy (or gal)” is the DJ anchor, setting the musical tone and attitude. So, let’s take it from the top for October 11, 1975, as we wake up with … 

♪ DJ DON KEITH started your day from “sign-on”* ‘til 9:00a.m. … *it wasn’t until early 1980s that WVOK got its “big boy” broadcast pants, to delight listeners 24/7.
       Not only was Don a popular DJ, but he co-owned WZEW in Mobile, Alabama, in the mid-eighties and still keeps a hand on the mic in Radio today; that is, when he isn’t writing.
       As an outstanding author in historical fiction and non-fiction, to military thrillers, to biography, Don has moved well beyond the station microphone. However, I caught up with him recently and he commented on writing and broadcasting similarities …
       People often remark that writing is so very different from being a radio personality that they’re surprised I’ve found some success in both ways of communicating. But the truth is they are quite similar. In both, I sit all alone in a room, talking with people I cannot see or hear, attempting to create something on the fly that will affect them emotionally. And once I send that creation out to listeners or readers, I can’t take it back. It better be as powerful as it can be the first time! Sound advice!  
       Don’s still proud of his Radio DJ escapades, sandwiching this broadcast tidbit in-between writing awards, on his website: “As an on-the-air broadcaster, Don was twice named Billboard Magazine "Radio Personality of the Year." 

I was thrilled to catch up with one of the DJs from Rock Radio’s glory days 50 Years Ago, and thanked Don for his comments. He also imparted news of the other 1975 WVOK DJs, “Shocking thing is that I am the only one of those five deejays pictured who remains alive.” He was also, however, one of the younger ones.

While we contemplate the length and breadth of these monthly articles, let’s meet the rest of WVOK’s October 1975 DJs …

DJ JOE RUMORE (1920-1993) took over the airwaves after Don and played your requests up to the noon hour.   
       A veteran broadcaster, it is still felt that Joe’s experience and innovations reverberate over the airwaves today. I found a tribute website for Joe (link above), but be aware, it is not a secure site. That said, it’s quite an accolade by family and friends who report, January 29, 1982, “… Joe Rumore makes his final broadcast, closing a radio career that spanned 40 years covering 4 decades, 33 years and 3 months at WVOK.” He spent practically his whole radio life at WVOK and many of the station’s listeners likely grew up listening to Joe.
       At age seven Joe made his radio debut on “Station WJOE,” as Master Rumore. How cute! The site reported that he, “… rigged up a make-believe microphone by nailing a tea strainer to a cigar box.” But it was the part about a pair of earmuffs as headphones that cracked me up.  
       Joe began his official gig behind the mic in 1941 and segued to WVOK in October 1948, exactly 77 years ago. He headed up to Radio DJ Heaven December 20, 1993, at age 73.

DJ JOHNNY DAVIS (1937-2014) filled in your midday travels from noon to 3:00p.m. at WVOK, where he resided off-air as Jim Romine.
       Unfortunately, Johnny was one for whom I couldn’t locate much information. It is interesting, though, that he found a way to meld raucous Rock & Roll music with his community life as “Minister of Music with several churches” and even sang with a local quartet. Johnny’s broadcast career likely began in the US Navy where he served as a radio operator. Alabama listeners may also remember him at WZZK. Radio DJ Heaven has had the pleasure of Jim’s singing, since October 18, 2014.

DJ DAN BRENNAN (1930-2020) was not just another pretty face as he drove you home from work, 3:00p.m. to sign-off.
       Often known as “Dan the Music Man,” he came up through the ranks of the family who created and owned WVOK. His whole life was with Brennan Broadcasting and he and brother, Cyril, reveled in life behind the mic. As a member of Birmingham’s Radio royalty, Dan was a community icon who apparently enjoyed a rollicking 80^th birthday party in 2010.
       Interestingly, I could find no further personal details about his life. Which, as I’ve said, is the norm when writing about 50 Years Ago This Month. With such a well-known, and by all appearances, beloved family history, though, you’d think there would be more online accounts. Dan’s broadcasting in Radio DJ Heaven began December 19, 2020.

DJ BOB GORDON (1945-2013) otherwise known as Gordon E. Lackey, kept you listening and Rocking to WVOK all weekend long!
       And all I could learn about Bob is he apparently spent time behind the mic at WSGN and WYAM, too, and he served in the U.S. Army. If anyone knows more about him, feel free to contact me!  

It’s just for this lack of information about some of the men and women who entertained us in a unique era, that I write these articles. I often stumble on details that may only be available in one obscure place and enjoy sharing them with you. I believe people—more than just the prominent and famous—should be remembered for the happiness they shared.    

So, WVOK made memories for some of you, and I hope they give you a pleasant reverie into your own history. The rest of us can slip back in time to October 1975, wherever we were, to enjoy our Rockin’ memories, too. For what else are we now, if not the sum of our lives?

The 1960s and ‘70s were WVOK’s Top 40 years as “The Mighty 690.” It brought you fun concerts known as their “Shower of Stars,” to make memories of performances by iconic musicians such as the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones and Neil Diamond.
       By 1976, their competition, WSGN, wore them down and they switched to Country, which worked until 1985. After that it continued to search for a comfortable niche in a changing Radio world. Today on 690 you’ll find Sports channel WJOX. And life goes on …

But before you move on today, and while you’re wallowing in nostalgia, let’s have some Halloween fun with the rollicking music of October 1975!

♪ October ’75 Song of Note ♪   
For the second month in a row, our Featured Radio Survey’s #1 hot hit is our

Song of Note! It’s dress-up party time, do you have your mask on? Go look in the mirror … what do you see? Remember, your eyes are the most expressive part of your body … windows to your soul.
       Glenn Frey and Don Henley of The Eagles knew it in October 1975 when their chat about cheatin’ women turned into a hit tune on WVOK’s chart. Something about those “Lyin’ Eyes” … and Halloween is a great testing ground as we don masks for fun, or … ♪ Your smile is a thin disguise | I thought by now you'd realize | There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes … ♪       

♪ October 2025 Music Events & More ♪    

There isn’t much this month for applicable celebrations or special days. It is, however, Country Music Month and as I’ve said before, Rock & Roll is full of Country, Blue Grass, and Folk Music! So celebrate Country and enjoy the crossover tunes.  

Friday ~ October 10^th: And today celebrates an instrument that transcends all genres of music … it’s Hug A Drummer Day! Yes, it’s a real day. Just ask the folks at the World Drumming Association. They’re serious about those skins and sticks. Though they’re the sponsor, it hasn’t been updated lately. The site does, however, have lots of info you might want to check out it you’re interested in becoming a drummer. Or here, for 20 Rock Drum Beats and Patterns.

♪♪ BFYP Featured Radio Survey ♪♪ October 11, 1975 ~ WVOK/Birmingham, Alabama. By now you know what Rockin’ Radio station is on the FRS page. If you listened to WVOK back in the day, you’ll be familiar with their “Tough Twenty” chart. Their local pride showed not only in high school mentions, but in their survey quality with three-color printing and featured DJ drawings. In 1975 that was a pricey extravagance. Take your nostalgia, grab a libation, and head back to … 50 Years Ago this Month in Rock & Roll Radio! Where were you that groovy day when your radio played … 

If you’ve stuck with me all the way through to the end of this long and winding road, thank you! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Rock OCTOBER 1975 and … howl at the Halloween moon!

Rock Radio 50 Years Ago ~ SEPTEMBER 1975

Rockin' Oldies in Fall Fame & Glory    

Complete September Edition! Here we go, Rock & Roll fans … slippin’ ‘n’ slidin’ into September, making it just a hop-skip-and-jump to the Holidays! Okay, okay, slippery slope aside, let’s enjoy this month, and all the amazing, iconic Rock & Roll that came with it … 50 Years Ago this Month … 

º SEPTEMBER 1975 Radio News & Muse ♪ 
Rockin’ news that was the news … as best I can. Though I labored this Labor Day with the aftereffects of the Summer broken toe, I’m finally moving on and making progress. Thanks for your understanding and let's get kickin' those Fall falling leaves! September 1, 1975, began with …

September 1^st: KOL-AM/Seattle, Washington, has had a long history of flipping and flopping and buying and selling, both before and after this date, when it slipped from progressive Rock to Country as KMPS. “Kountry Music Puget Sound” didn’t last either, as another (final?) sale prompted their call sign to eventually return as KKOL in 1997, and on-and-on-and on … the most comprehensive (and long) history of the station I found, is in the link in the first line. It is NOT however, a “secure” link. Use at your own risk.

September 10^th: Were you alive when the raucous KISS released their first live album, Alive? They certainly added to the excitement of 1975. Recorded May through July in four concerts during their Dressed To Kill Tour, it is their fourth album overall. But Alive churned the Rock & Roll waters eventually—after much overdubbing, according to some sources—capturing the essence of KISS that had been missing in previous studio albums. When released, Alive was panned, but time has been kind. Some suggest it heavily influenced Metal and Punk music and launched KISS into the big time.

September 12^th: A busy month for album releases as the incomparable Pink Floyd were nostalgic for their co-founder, Syd Barrett, peddling their 9^th album, Wish You Were Here. Again, time appears to be a factor in the album’s reception. At first considered unremarkable, it is now hailed as one of Rolling Stone’s listed 500 greatest albums ever. By September 25^th it had reached #1 in the US and certified gold in both UK and US by year’s end.

♪ On Your Tinny Transistor Radio ♪  
Where were you listening to September songs to remember in 1975? San Diego or Bakersfield, California? Whether West Coast or hearing the radio airwaves of the future echo across the country, here’s a sample of what and who you were listening to …

Along with WIBG/Philadelphia and WCFL/Chicago, I likely have more KCBQ/San Diego, California, vintage surveys than all the others combined. After all, I am a “California Girl” as the Beach Boys, once warbled. Point is, ya get another KCBQ “Q Hits” for September 1975.
       About this time, KCBQ seemed to be slowing down on the pop music. Their “plain” survey for September 8, 1975, “Card #231,” may be a precursor to their 1978 flip from Top 40 to adult contemporary … they never again quite reached their earlier fame. But the station is still revered by Rock & Roll Radio buffs and “the locals,” largely thanks to perennial local pop DJ, Shotgun Tom Kelly.

       The “Q Hits” survey still lists “The Top Selling Songs in San Diego,” along with top albums and a print-out of lyrics for the #1 hit, Bee Gee’s “Jive Talkin,” though no promos for station DJs, local concerts, or unique era art. Pretty boring, compared to … 

KERN Radio was hoppin’ in Bakersfield, California, with their September 12, 1975, hit music list and super-Psychedelic Seventies “Super Comics”! In the rare Issue #3, their artistic graphics story follows KERN’s DJ Jay J. Jackson as he toodles around the studio answering listeners’ calls and spinning the vinyls, with a little behind the scenes bumbling fun …
       What was it like in Bakersfield mid-1970s? About the same as a former DJs’ hilarious description when he snagged his first “real” job at KERN in 1971. Anyone remember Ken Stevens (Levine) or by his creative studio name, “Truck-Ken Stevens” on the air, before he became an Emmy winning writer?
       He described his query when told to send a demo tape to the program director, “I asked if I could drive up there and play it for him. With such a plum assignment as six hours a week on a station no one listened to in the middle of nowhere in sweltering summer heat for minimum wage I didn’t want to leave anything to chance.” Ken’s full article is nothing short of hilarious, especially if you know inland/central California. 
       Although Bakersfield’s KAFY radio is legendary, KERN was no slouch in attracting accolades, as one
of the first stations in the early ‘70s to air the iconic American Top 40 syndicated countdown show, with host, Casey Kasem. Program Director, Johnny Mitchell and Music Director, Phil Drake, likely had a hand in that coup. 
       DJ Russ Gerber is also shown lounging on the survey to hawk his 10a.m. to 3p.m. slot. If a listing on an old radio site is correct, KERN looks to be Russ’s first radio gig from 1972-1975. We’ll see him again in March 1976 (2026) as he “rustles up some music” for KERN listeners in survey Issue #28.
       Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any background listings for our September Super Comics hero, Jay J. Jackson. We know he remained spinning the classics in California’s Dust Bowl at least through Christmas, 1975, but beyond that, I could find no definitive information. There is another “Triple-J” early DJ—John Julian Jackson—but based on the survey comics image, KERN’s DJ isn’t Black nor could I find that the former MTV VJ ever worked at KERN. Anyone have any knowledge of our Featured Radio Survey DJ Jay J. Jackson? Let me know!

♪ September ’75 Song of Note ♪  

I rarely apply our monthly Song of Note to the #1 hit on the Featured Radio Survey, as it often gets lots of attention while it climbs the chart. However, I have a feeling radio listeners of the day were fascinated by David Bowie’s lament of “Fame,” if they ever bothered to actually listen to the lyrics.
       Bowie was so distraught about fame’s true status in life that he did what all songwriters do when the emotion of reality becomes overwhelming … he wrote a song about it. ♪ … Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame | That burns your change to keep you in... sane … ♪     
       Of course, our celebs today aren’t so subtle about the downfalls of fame … thanks to social media, barely a twinkle in a handful of tech wizards’ eyes in 1975, high-profile people now have a platform to cry openly about the vagaries of their rich, but lacking lives.
        For Bowie, he disguised displeasure with his business manager in song. Worded so we could all lament with him, it was still a bitter pill to swallow as he lost significant income on a doomed off-Broadway show his manager conceived, with the same title. That “Fame” closed after the first night.
       No less cynical in a 1990 interview, Bowie said of fame, “I've left all that behind me, now... I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants." I would say, chalk it up to a learning experience. Celeb or not, people are duped every day (now, moreso than ever!). For now, let's just sing along with the song …

♪ Quirky Band Name Award ♪ 
I’m resurrecting the Quirky Band Name Award for September, with three fun contenders: In a blending of Country Rock bands, Fatback and The Rhythm Aces, the Amazing Rhythm Aces built their fame on September’s #4 hit at KERN, “Third Rate Romance.” (The song also qualifies as a one-hit wonder.) Interesting, but not amazing.  
       Second thought, came with British glam Rock band, “Sweet,” who before they hit the big time was known as the Sweetshop (cute). In September ’75 KERN’s listeners bumped Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz” up to #16 (also considered by some to be a one-hit wonder), but not long after, they ran out of air with their final hit, “Love Is Like Oxygen,” in 1978.
       So here we are … “Holdin’ On To Yesterday” with Ambrosia, bestowed September 1975’s Quirky Band Name Award. Not only do they have an apropos tune to remember, but their band name took real thought … and a dictionary!
       Believe it or not, they began as “Ambergris Mite” which loosely defines as a waxy goo floating on tropical waters. Its redeeming feature was used in perfumery. What were they thinking? More astounding, there was already a band using “Amergris.” So they hauled out the dictionary, went through the A-words and spotted “Ambrosia,” a revered substance served to the Greek gods alternately referred to as food or drink … yeah, I think they went with the right name … fun etymology and though their “Holdin’ On To Yesterday” is headed down the KERN chart at #14, the lead single from their debut self-titled album is a great end-of-Summer song. ♪ … I keep holdin' on to yesterday | I keep holdin' on enough to say | That I'm wrong, wrong, wrong | To keep holdin' on … ♪      

♪ September 2025 Music Events & More ♪   

Since I have often referred to early Rock & Roll as a melting pot of all music that came before, it’s worth mentioning that September is Classical Music Month. The link is for the official designation in 1994, so no real sponsoring site. Just tick through our September songs and I’m sure you’ll find at least one that obviously utilizes Classical Music.
       Just last month (August), I featured the Carpenters’ “Solitaire” written by Neil Sedaka, in 39 and Holding’s article. He was a big fan of Chopin and integrated the classical pianist’s musical artistry into the ballad. Also mentioned is Barry Manilow’s “Could It Be Magic,” still on this month’s charts, in which he drew heavily on Chopin, with a note-for-note intro. So don’t turn your nose up at Classical Music—ask instead, how can you incorporate it into your own music? 

Thursday ~ September 25^th: Don’t know why, but the original sponsor for National One-Hit Wonder Day gave up on this fun, annual recognition day. No worries—I found a couple of fun sites for you to explore and remember, especially for September! Look for the Amazing Rhythm Aces’ “Third Rate Romance” (#4/KERN) and “Your Love” by Graham Central Station, or here for even more tunes classified as a band or artist’s only Top 40 Hit.

♪♪ BFYP Featured Radio Survey ♪♪  
SEPTEMBER 12, 1975 ~ KERN/Bakersfield, California … are you ready for some expansive, flowing, Psychedelic Seventies’ Radio survey art? Everything seemed larger than life in the middle of the decade, including our expression of graphics. You wouldn’t expect a dusty town in central California to produce such entertaining art! Their Super Comics survey is a delight with fun caricatures of DJs Jay J. Jackson and Russ Gerber. Too bad there isn’t an artist’s signature to acknowledge. “The sounds of music can be heard from Studio ‘J’!”
       And maybe you’ll notice the Royal Copy and Printing shop ad with the query, “Inflation gotcha?” Yes, prices were an issue even … 50 Years Ago this Month in Rock & Roll Radio! Where were you that groovy day when your radio played …
