had 2 personalities named Bill Bailey. The first came to WLS in 1969 and
did mornings on WLS for only a short time before returning to Kentucky.
Bill was known as "The Duke Of Louisville". Bill Bailey 1 came to WLS from
WKLO and went to WAKY in his return. Bill (William Boahn) passed away on
Saturday January 14, 2012 at the age of 81. He had lived in a nursing home
for a number of years following a stroke.
The other Bill Bailey joined WLS from WWDJ in Hackensack, NJ in 1972 and worked evernings at WLS until 1974 working evenings. After WLS, Bill Bailey 2 went to WDRQ in Detroit. |

We
are sorry to report the passing of former WLS Personality Jerry Kay in
Seaside Oregon on Sunday September 25th of a heart attack.
These comments from Pat O'Day. "Our old friend Jerry Kay passed away yesterday in Seaside Oregon. He had become somewhat reclusive over the years as his health became marginal. Suffered from diabetes, and genetic heart problems. He was a neat guy and very funny on the air and off, I hired him out of Yakima high school in 1957. His idol was Gary Owens and he did his hero proud as he incorporated G.O. into his own unique personality. He was a key part of that dynamite KJR team of the early and mid sixties with Lan Roberts, Tom Murphy, Dick Curtis, Larry Lujack, Mike Phillips, and myself." |
