Back when Atlanta was on AM in the 70's the main black station for me was WAOK. I think there was one other one but WAOK had Alley Pat who told you EVERYTHING going on downtown Atlanta. And I mean EVERYTHING. Like what that big red woman on the produce stand on Auburn Avenue said.
So go here if you want a podcast of some of his talk and music and advertisements. The ads are good. "Do you sell Hamburger Helper over there?"
Worth a listen when Alley Pat talks about bailing Hosea Williams out of jail after a civil rights protest. (Alley Pat was a bail bondsman too.)
