His real name was Robert Smith, and he died in 1995. He never was a DJ in Oakland, but his program was syndicated throughout the US.

large question! I used to hearken to WLS Chicago each and every nighttime into the wee hours! no longer in person-friendly words that yet I went to a live performance in Ludwigsburg Germany in June 1975, and wager who the announcer became? Wolfman Jack! He opened the live performance with questions about the gang. He pronounced ' I see a great number of blue jeans available; how lots of you're individuals? I scent a number of that wacky weed! how lots of you're extreme?' the gang went wild cheering and clapping. Wolfman Jack became a kind act and is ignored by utilizing a minimum of this one man or woman! RIP Wolfman Jack!

There was a Wolfman Jack known around the USA. He had a raspy voice and hosted "The Midnight Special". He used to say, "Let/May the Midnight Special shed its ever lovin' light on you!" Yup, I've dated myself here.

yes, he was great and very original and ahead of his time. I was
a young child at the time but all of the teenagers went wild when he was on the radio. He played himself in American Graffitti.
The music was all rock and roll / and oldies. It was a different era
at that time , The Outsiders was also a representative movie of that time era. The late 50's and early 60's was that time span.

Blast from the past! I used to listen to him on an AM radio station in Chicago. This was before I even discovered there was an FM dial.
