About this ebook

Black-oriented radio emerged after World War II. Full time programming from sun-up to sun-down; blues, spirituals, rhythm and blues replaced jazz as the primary form of music. These improvising "street rapping" Disc Jockeys dominated the airwaves. Welcome to Black Radio...Winner Takes All!

About the author

Black Radio... Winner Takes All! developed out of a curiosity that spanned from my childhood to adulthood regarding my Uncle's devotion to radio broadcasting. Often I wondered why would a career demand all the time and energy of he and his peers who were committed to the community. And why did they instead allow their proud voices over the airwaves to be the presence at home? No doubt my curiosity may have seemingly lasted a life time.
