For those that grew up in Los Angeles in the 1950's you will immediately
recognize the name of Old H.H. -- Hunter Hancock -- who has the esteemed honor
of being the First DJ in history to have the first show dedicated entirely to
Rhythm and Blues then known as 'Race Records' in 1948.

Hunter Hancock finally retired in 1968 from KGFJ in Los Angeles. And had not
broadcasted except for a LP for the 50's and 60's Cruisin' Series. Except
Hunter Hancock did do one exclusive show for Rock-it Radio in Ventura,
California in
the Fall of 2001 -- And at the age of 84 -- he proved he could still "Hunt with
the best of them" on the Lane Quigley Memory Lane Show.
