WXYZ 1270 ‘DETROIT SOUND’ LINEUP: SEPTEMBER, 1966
— THE WXYZ RADIO 1270 ‘PERSONALITY PLUS’ LINEUP —
SEPTEMBER 1966
(L-R): Dave Prince, Danny Taylor, Pat Murphy, Jim Hampton, Lee Alan, Marc Avery
Missing from this 1966 photograph was Joey Reynolds. Hired away from Cleveland’s WIXY in April, Reynolds was only on WXYZ for a brief time. Six months. Friday, September 17, 1966 was his last day on WXYZ.
When this photograph was taken late in September, two stories why he left emerged. Reynolds had resigned in pursuit of a new career as a recording producer. Or, Joey Reynolds left the Motor City for the east coast for Hartford, Connecticut’s WDRC.
A special THANK YOU to Jim Hampton for providing this (wonderful) WXYZ photo memory with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.
