AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK |
(Contributor: Gary Pedoto)
He called himself the "Chief Rocker", and Frankie Crocker certainly rocked the box be it on radio or TV. "Hollywood" Crocker first made his mark in the '60s at WUFO, a Buffalo station that featured R&B music and some of the greatest African-American jocks of the time. After a brief stay at New York Top 40 outlet WMCA, Crocker returned to his R&B roots at WWRL and WBLS in New York (he also jocked in Los Angeles, St. Louis and Chcago). Crocker was the first VJ on VH-1 when they launched in 1985, and for years was MC at the famed Apollo theatre. He died of cancer in 2000, aged 62. Enjoy Frankie Crocker on WMCA
from August 6, 1969 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck
