CLARK WEBER, 89
Died March 8, 2020
This was not on the Hope I Die Before I Get Old site. I didn't know about it until this week.
A pioneer rock and roll disc jockey in the 1960s and for decades later. Known as "Mother Weber's Oldest Son."
First rose to fame on Chicago's Powerhouse station, WLS, 890 AM. In 1965, he introduced the Beatles on stage at Comiskey Park. Born in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin (outside of Milwaukee). In 2008, wrote "Clark Weber's Rock and Roll Radio: 1955-1975."
In 1968, jumped to rival WCFLAM and in 1971 to WMAQ AM.
At age 43, feeling he might be too old to keep spinning 45s, he segued to Talk Radio.
One of my favorites from back then. Clark Weber ad the other Ls and CFL jocks back then made growing up in the Chicago area a lot more fun. Our music.
