Edition #846

Talent: DR. BROCK

Date: Summer 1974
Time: 9:46

"The Ugliest Mutha in Rock 'n' Roll"

Dr. Grady Brock came in three sizes - loud, LOUDER and LOUDEST.

The fast-talking Brock literally burned out the transmitters with his ear-splitting, high-energy performances at various stations including WINZ Miami, WAYS Charlotte, N.C., WNOE New Orleans, KSTP St. Paul, Minn., and the subject of this aircheck - the Super CFL, WCFL.

Brock's energy level was astounding - he simply never let up for a second in establishing his legend as one of the greatest screamers in Top 40 radio history. Since he billed himself as "The Ugliest Mutha in Rock 'n' Roll", the station even ran a contest offering listeners $500 if they could correctly answer the question "What Does Dr. Brock Look Like?" Turns out he wasn't very ugly at all.

Dr. Grady Brock died June 28, 2015 at the age of 66.
