Excellence in Broadcasting
award for Outstanding Local Radio Personality was presented to

The state-wide award was presented at the PAB’s annual

Commenting on the recognition, Bobby V “The Duke of Doo Wop” and host/producer said “I am extremely pleased to accept this award for the thousands of listeners who have made the show #1 in the
Scranton Wilkes-Barre market on Sunday nights for 20 years.
It is gratifying to know that music from the 50’ies and 60’ies
is still enjoyed by folks of all ages.”

Gene McDaniels has died

. His first and biggest hit was the quasi-spiritual A Hundred Pounds Of Clay which went to number three in 1961. He followed it with A Tear and two more top ten hits, Tower Of Strength and Chip Chip. In all he had six top forty hits, finishing up with Point Of No Return and Spanish Lace; all were released in 1961 and 1962 and he was backed by The Johnny Mann Singers on all of them.

He also wrote a number of songs as Eugene McDaniels, including Feel Like Makin' Love, which was a number one hit for Roberta Flack in 1974.

McDaniels lived as a self-described "hermit" in the state of Maine.

Tom e-mails The Duke

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For “3” hours every Sunday you transform me to “My good old days” when my only worry was who would I dance with next. I cannot tell you how mellow your show makes me. I just float away and once more I am back in time where I was always happiest, except we didn’t realize it then. The memories are so vivid I can recall what socks and tie I was wearing’ and what terrific girl I had in my arms. We knew the music was special than, but who knew it would be a part of us all our days. I have reconnected with so many of my high school friends; and at all reunions’ the music is the most important part. Again, I thank you for making me a teen-ager if just for 3 hours every week.

Love your show. It's the best doo wop show anywhere.
And that includes satellite. Thanks for the great memories.
