Rock 'n' Roll Radio Connecticut: Magic Moments & Unforgettable Disc Jockeys

Connecticut radio stations and their charismatic disc jockeys played an integral role in the history of rock 'n' roll. They served as a vital connection between the music and their audience, providing listeners the one vehicle they most needed—a format for them to listen to their favorite songs. Learn about such memorable moments as the fierce rivalry between WDRC and WPOP, the zany antics of Joey Reynolds, and the on-air "death" of Lee "Baby" Simms. WPLR emerged as a "town hall meeting held in a frat house," and colorful skits filled the airwaves. With in-depth interviews and timeless photos, author Tony Renzoni captures the spirit of the vibrant music scene and traces the important and influential role of past and present on-air personalities.
