“Brother Bill” Gable Signs Off
This vintage photo was posted on Facebook by Bill Hennes, former PD of CKLW, who graciously allowed us to use it here, explaining he hired Gable away from his part-time gig at KHJ/Los Angeles. The photo was taken circa 1975, when Hennes had a young Elton John come in that day to do afternoon drive as “EJ The DJ.”
Standing, (l-r): the legendary Rosalie Trombley, Bill Gable, Ted Richards and Pat Holiday. Down in front, (l-r): Bob Moody, Elton John and “Wild Willy” Hennes.
As is his custom following the passing of notable air personalities, Art immediately retreated to his state-of-the-art editing suite, sifted through his extensive video footage and compiled this tribute to “Brother Bill.”
