With an FM style, Humble Harv Miller became a star on AM radio.

One of the "hippest" jocks in Top 40 radio, Miller got his major market start in 1958 at his hometown station WIBG Philadelphia. He was there until 1962 before moving to the west coast at KBLA. KHJ - seeking a more "progressive" approach in late night - hired him for the 9 p.m.-midnight shift in 1967. He jocked at KHJ until 1971, when he went to jail for the second-degree shooting death of his adulterous wife. After a couple of years behind bars, Miller re-emerged on the Los Angeles radio scene in 1974 at KKDJ. Miller jocked at numerous other stations - most of them in Los Angeles - over the next couple of decades. He also appeared in a couple of movies playing - what else - a disc jockey.

Humble Harv Miller died June 4, 2019 at the age of 85.
