In 1947, and after a stint with the Arm Forces Radio Network near the end of WWII, Robin Seymour began an 18-year broadcasting career with WKMH in Dearborn. Today we are presenting his show’s opening theme. This one from 1956 – BOBBIN’ WITH THE ROBIN” – by the Four Lads (and accompanied by the Percy Faith Orchestra). The theme became his signature show-opener during the latter-1950s and was heard daily at the start of his show, 6:00 in the morning on Radio 1310.
Today, we remember this legend. Robin Seymour passed away, on this day, April 17, 2020. He was 94.
