Black History: Mr. A and Herb Kent 'The Cool Gent'

While on the subject of black deejays, here are two of my favorites whom I listened to a whole lot back in the day.

Mr. A broadcast a night show on Chicago's WNIB, a classic music station, and played some of the best blues and R&B you could ever want to hear.  If I woke up in the wee hours, I would pop a cassette in the recorder and record his show and listen to it later.

Herb Kent, the "Cool Gent" deejayed on Chicago's WVON from 1963 to his death in 2016.  Loved his Dusties and Old School music.

Two of the greatest.
