New York ... They say if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

Wolfman Jack made it in the Big Apple - just not for long.

In the wake of his iconic cameo on 1973's American Graffiti, it seemed every station wanted a piece of the Wolf. One of those stations was WNBC.

WNBC hired Wolfman to do evenings in the summer of 1973 to compete with WABC night-time jock Cousin Brucie. Less than a year later, the Wolf was gone with - irony of ironies - the 'Cuz moving to WNBC.

Wolfman Jack returned to WNBC in the mid-'80s for yet another stint. By that time, Cousin Brucie was on WCBS-FM along with xome of his former colleagues from WABC.

Wolfman Jack died in 1995 and was inducted posthumously into the Radio Hall of Fame the following year.
