The First DJ's of W3-Soul

Bobby Q Day was working at WAMM-AM when he met Earl Clark, who had recently been discharged from the Navy. Word got out that Bobby Q was working with Earl Clark to start a new radio station in Saginaw, Michigan.

Bobby Q:

"One by one the guys that were looking for radio work would contact me... and we would decide on them" That's the way that went. I can't remember who we hired first, probably a fellow named Donnie Cool (Donnie Sweet-Meat Cool).

Bobby rounded the staff with Sadie Satin (midday), Chuck Grazen (news), Speed Demon (7-Midnight) and Juicy Bruce (Midnight).

"Later Earl decided he wanted to be a Jazz DJ and we named him Playboy McCoy".

Sadie Satin was the first voice heard on W3-Soul. She played a song and then she said "here comes Sadie". We were on the air.
