IN MEMORY OF A DETROIT RADIO LEGEND. DAVE PRINCE

_______________

**Jim Hampton** (L) with Dave Prince (R), photographed while doing a live Barry Manilow Coast to Coast for CBS Radio Network, Los Angeles, in the 1970s.

I was sadden to learn that my friend, mentor and broadcaster, Dave Prince, passed away (last week). He was 91.

Dave was one of the legends of Detroit radio, 45 years in broadcasting. Having worked at WKMH, WXYZ, WCAR, WCZY, CKLW. For a short time, he was also TV host of Club 1270 on Channel 7.

In the mid-1970s, Dave moved to LA to partner with me consulting radio stations, creating 100s of syndicated radio specials featuring interviews with Olivia Newton-John, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart and more.

He narrated ‘One Solitary Life’, a 1971 Christmas release on one of the Motown labels, Rare Earth. Plus, he narrated and produced countless radio and television commercials in Los Angeles and also in the Motor City.

He was a big influence in my life, my broadcasting career. And I will miss him, dearly.

NEW YORK — When BMW (Billboard Music World) goofed twice in succession and switched captions on photos on disk jockeys Bill Williams (WNEW, here in New York) and Jerry Marshall (WMGM, here) appearing in the paper’s Programming Panel feature, it was facetiously suggested that the jocks be good sports and consider exchanging names.

Michigan deejay David Pringle took us at our word and is doing just that. The jock was also a victim of a BMW goof, when his photo appeared in a panel feature identifying him as “David Prince.”

Pringle, who moved from WPAG, Ann Arbor, Mi., to WKMH, Detroit, (in the 7-11:30 p.m. time-slot), August 2, writes: Because of a goof in Billboard, I will be using the air name Dave Prince. They gave me a tag a while back in a misprint and it sounded so much better than Pringle — more adaptable to jingles, etc., that I’ve decided to use it!” END
