I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.

Success doesn't happen in a vacuum. You’re only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for.

But otherwise, music is about a beat and a message.

Always be consistent.

I must have done about 25,000 promos.

The first syndicating I tried was when two partners and I created a production company in 1952. We wanted to syndicate famous Bible stories and sell them for $25 a show.

The stories are success stories. The letters from listeners often touch the heart and can be inspiring.
