WJR aircheck date: ‘DINNER DATE’ (segments) 1958-1960
___
Jan Wynn’s real name was Janet Marie Winkler Iagulli (1935-2008).
In the 1950s and in the early 1960s, Jan Wynn was a local Detroit vocalist/singer who was the prime feature on WJR’s evening programming called ‘Dinner Date,’ a 15 minute daily show accompanied by WJR’s house band The Jimmy Clark Quartet (see above ad). The program was aired live, from 6:15 to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday on the “Goodwill Station.” Wynn’s vocal talents also was heard on other WJR programming. She also made frequent appearances on WJR’s day-timer, “Open House,” hosted by Jack Harris.
In the post-war era, WJR was known as a prestigious radio station which featured local musicians, vocalists, talents, and personalities throughout their regular scheduled daily programming at the time, in most cases performing live musical shows in the studio while on the air.
In this special WJR aircheck, the performances by Jan Wynn presented here date from 1958-1960 and actually this audio is a compilation from more than one ‘Dinner Date’ broadcast which was recorded during that time.

‘Brother John’ WXYZ aircheck date: Wednesday, June 25, 1969
A MCRFB.COM Note: Was this Alan Almond? Someone alluded to this website that it is he, on WXYZ-FM. While the voice definitely sounds like it may be — we do not have any confirmation whether it is, or whether not, this was Alan Almond on Detroit radio early-on as ‘Brother John’ on WXYZ-FM at that time.
