Disc jockey Hunter Hancock has died.

[NightTrain]

It is with a heavy heart that we report that Hunter Hancock, a famous
D.J. here in Los Angeles, passed away this weekend after a lengthy illness.

Hunter had been retired from Radio since 1967, but is credited to
being the first D.J. ever to have his own radio show devoted entirely
to Rhythm and Blues (then called Race Records), back in 1948. Rock-
it Radio was fortunate enough in the year 2000 to have Hunter return
to the microphone for one show on the network. He was then in his early '80s, but you would never know it from his show.

In his memory and a tribute to such a fine gentleman, we are rebroadcasting that show and putting it in our archives under show #1034. To tune into Hunter for one last time you can at:
