A CERTAIN LIFE MADE FOR RADIO: THE SAGA OF JACK THE BELLBOY

ED McKENZIE

— ‘Jack the Bellboy’ —

_______________

Ed McKenzie. During his prime years on radio WJBK and by the time McKenzie left the station for WXYZ in January 1952, he was by then recognized, having been established in the trade as the “Nation’s Number One Disc Jockey.”

Today, Motor City Radio Flashbacks will feature “the saga” of Ed McKenzie. His life and his times in Detroit radio, and what brought this Detroit broadcast (and jazz) legend to prominence. Not just here in the Motor City, but also around the country in the 1940s and 1950s.

Ed McKenzie passed away in 2001. He was 90.

The featured and extensive article was initially published in the quarterly journal, International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC; Summer 1995).

The article authored by Stan Kuwik.

_______________

Note: This article was submitted to Motor City Radio Flashbacks in 2019 by “Radio Muze”. It originated from a former Detroiter — who resides today in Los Angeles — who expressed desire his name remain undisclosed.
