— THE STORY OF DETROIT BROADCASTING LEGEND ROBIN SEYMOUR —
AVAILABLE NOW on AMAZON BOOKS
*****
‘THE DJ WHO LAUNCHED 1,000 HITS’
The long anticipated Robin Seymour story is now available!
*****
Here is the story of a Detroit radio and television pioneer, the great Robin Seymour. . . from his earliest days on WKMH radio, later in 1963 staying with the “new” WKNR Keener 13, to the host of “Teen Town” and “Swingin’ Time,” on CKLW-TV 9. Both of Seymour’s TV broadcasts became two of the original TV dance shows geared for teens — showcasing music legends of the day — beaming out of Windsor, Ontario into Detroit homes in the 1960s.
If you are a Baby Boomer and want to relive those wonderful days of the ’50’s and ’60’s this story is for you. It is complete with pictures of memorable Motown superstars. It is a most enjoyable read. Writer Carolyn Rosenthal masterfully captures Robin’s fascinating story from his earliest years in the service to his history making radio and television career.

Reflections by Pat. St. John (Sirius XM); Art Voulo, Jr. (Radio’s Best Friend’); Scott Morgan (The Rationals); Pat Holiday (CKLW); Jim Harper (ex-Detroit radio morning personality); Lee Alan (Lee Alan Creative); Jerry Goodwin (former WKNR WKNR FM WABX personality); Tom Ryan (former CKLW WOMC personality); Dick Purtan (former WKNR CKLW WOMC Detroit radio morning personality)

A MCRFB NOTE
Not the least as important as having obtained a copy of this long awaited Robin Seymour memoir I received in the mail in early April, but I must say that I was truly humbled, having seen my Robin Seymour photo collage I put together, there in print, having found its way on the back cover of this Detroit broadcast legend’s book, ‘The DJ Who Launched 1,000 Hits’.
Thanks again for all those great Detroit radio and television memories you shared with us throughout the decades, Robin Seymour. We are truly grateful 🙂 — Jim Feliciano

Cannot wait to read this book! I was once on the radio with Robin Seymour. He interviewed myself and another student about the Jr City Beautiful Commission in Dearborn! It was probably about 1956.
