ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
This special Easter holiday recording, “A Prophecy Fulfilled,” was conceived, created, and was produced by Bob Pratt.
For three straight years, this program was broadcast on 98.7 WBFG-FM in Detroit during the Easter holiday seasons in 1975, 1976 and in 1977.
At the time ‘A Prophesy Fulfilled’ first aired in 1975, WBFG was Detroit’s foremost premiere station known for it’s all-religious broadcasting format. The call letters WBFG was also the station’s heralded acronym as well. The calls represented their daily religious radio content heard 24/7 on the FM side, “We’re Broadcasting For God.”

Note: According to Wikipedia, however, after 3 weeks on the chart, the single was soon deleted by Capitol after Duchess Music, the publisher of “I Want to Hold Your Hand”, refused to give permission for the group’s parody version having already been released on the Capitol label.
Decades later, the deleted parody single would eventually find its way on a Four Preps compilation CD.
