Clark Weber's Rock and Roll Radio: The Fun Years 1955-1975

by Clark Weber, Neal Samors, Foreword by Neil Sedaka

Clark Weber was one of the most popular disc jockeys in Chicago during the 1960s and 1970s, first at WLS-AM and then at WCFL-AM. He was both program director and deejay at WLS, and along with Dick Biondi, Clark was one of the best known disc jockeys in America.

[Andy Polizzi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having grown up in Chicago during the time period covered by Weber's book, I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. A bonus is the CD with WLS station jingles, commercials, and patter. I would say that this book is a must for baby boomers who are interested in a trip to a simpler time, when you stopped by your local record shop (mine was The Music Box on Milwaukee Avenue) to pick up the current week's Silver Dollar Survey (I still have a boxful of them somewhere).
