Yes or no...this is an interesting story about a radio broadcaster from the 70s and 80s?

He was a young African American teen who originally wanted to be a sportscaster. He admired Howard Cossell.

After high school, he went to college to pursue a career but struggled and failed all of his classes. He had trouble catching on. After one year, he got discouraged and dropped out.

He went into the military in 1970. His soldier buddies used to complain about how the army's station never played any soul music. He confronts the station manager and unexpectedly was offered a job as the morning deejay.

When he came back home, he worked at a repair shop. A local radio program director came to get stereo fixed. The young man gave him a demo tape. He was later offered a job at a small AM radio station in 1974.

In 1976, he was offered a gig at an all white disco station. He did that until 1979. He then was offered a job at a fairly new soul station where he was offered his own show.
