#DonnieSimpson began his career at age 15 as a DJ on #Detroit's #RhythmAndBlues powerhouse #WJLB. He was the first to put #EltonJohn's "Bennie and the Jets" in regular rotation as an album cut and we all know what happened next. And that was just the beginning. What a career! 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #SoulMusic #VideoSoul #Funk #Radio #Broadcasting #BlackEntertainmentTelevision #BET https://michiganchronicle.com/iconic-broadcaster-donnie-simpson-headlines-dabos-community-empowerment-speaker-series-on-june-26th/

#ElectrifyingMojo is one of #Detroit's most influential DJ's. Detroit #Techno probably wouldn't exist without him. He's a question mark -- a mysterian, perhaps -- so I don't know how old he is, but a reliable source tells me that today is his birthday. Wishing our pilot of the airwaves a funky good time! 🎂 🎉 🎶 👍 😁 #Michigan #Radio #Music #WJLB #WCHB #WGPR #WAAM

#TBT #1982 I remember hearing the #B52s "Mesopotamia" in heavy rotation on #Detroit's #R&B powerhouse #WJLB. Other black radio stations picked it up and reached out to the band, but management didn't respond. Management claimed that a hit record on black radio would "confuse" the B52s mostly white audience. When the band found out they "got into a screaming match" with the manager. Damn. #Music #NewWave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50vsio0D8U4
