Radio DJs who tried becoming music stars

   August 31, 2025
Jerden recording artist — 1966
B side was “It’s Hurting Me”

Rhett Hamilton Walker of KOL. A few disc jockeys have recorded music, Buck Ritchey, Tom Murphy, Larry Lujack (voiced, not sung).
Ric Dees and Wink Martindale were the successful ones that come to mind.

      Oh, we loved to hate J.R. DALLAS was a show I looked forward to each week. How did I miss the Gary Burbank tune. Listened to it today for the first time. Thanks, Adrian!
