A True Radio Legend: Clark Weber

September 29, 2008 by Cara Carriveau

Anyone who grew up in Chicago and listened to the radio in the 60′s have fond memories of Clark Weber. I didn’t move here until 1989 but I’ve heard about him over the years and was very excited to pick up his new book, “Clark Weber’s Rock & Roll Radio: The Fun Years, 1955-1975″. It’s a really cool coffee-table book with lots of great pictures and extremely entertaining stories. The best part is the CD that comes with it with plenty of radio clips from back in the day.

I am so glad that I made a point of meeting him at a book signing. He’s had quite an interesting life & career in radio. I admire him and consider him a mentor. His book is a must for anyone who is a fan of radio or a fan of music from the ’50′s-’70′s.

I heard your golden tones on the radio yesterday and your voice brought back fond memories of the 60′s. Still silky smooth voice. I went to school at Whitewater with your sister Mary. Say hello to her for me and if she wants to send an email to me I would enjoy catching up. Thanks!
