A SPECIAL NOTE FROM WXYZ 1270 DETROIT RADIO LEGEND LEE ALAN
THANK YOU . . . Motor City Radio Flashbacks appreciates every single comment from everyone we have received from your visits here, on our website.
Today we forwarded this one particular comment we received last evening to Lee Alan, regarding him specifically and WXYZ radio. In kind, and in sharing with you, we received something special from the ’60s WXYZ Detroit radio legend today.
His response to Lynn Rougeau, below:
I’d like to hear a recording of Lee Alan saying goodnight on his WXYZ show from the 60′s. He said something like, “If I made you smile …” . Can’t remember the rest. He always played “I Can’t Get Started With You,” by Frank Sinatra. I almost cried every time I heard that. I miss Lee Alan and the radio show.

Today, we heard from Lee Alan —
Hello Jim:
Please thank Lynda for the kind words.
Of all the comments from all the years and all the shows, those about the closing with Mister Sinatra are the most frequent. So many thousands seem to recall…even the words.
There was then, and still remains a love affair between us. Please see that Lynn and others are made aware of this site:
http://www.leealancreative.com/close (Speakers On)!
The entire closing is there plus a little more. This is very special. I have never posted this before now.
Just as a thank you to all those who remember. . . .
Kindest Regards,
Lee Alan
“On The Horn”
”If we don’t remember who we were, we won’t know who we are.” — Ronald Wilson Reagan
Thank you, Lee Alan, for all those unforgettable, special memories you gave us all during the years you were on WXYZ. We Detroiters love those special Lee Alan unforgettable moments you shared with us on the radio, yet today, still here in our hearts . . . and so in saying, Lee Alan, Detroit remembers, “The Horn.”
