Guest Segment on Timmy Regisford's WBLS Dance Mix from 1996 - Hour 1 of 3

The 107.5 frequency in New York City signed on in July 1951 as WEVD-FM, simulcasting its sister station at 1330 AM. Within a few years, WEVD-FM moved to 97.9, and 107.5 went off the air.
Several years later the New Broadcasting Company, then-owners of WLIB, was awarded a construction permit for the dormant frequency and on September 15, 1965, WLIB-FM signed on. 
As the Federal Communications Commission had recently instituted a rule prohibiting full-time AM/FM simulcasting in large markets, WLIB-FM was programmed with a Jazz format. The stations were split up in 1972, when Inner City Broadcasting purchased WLIB (AM); WLIB-FM was then renamed WBLS. Inner City reunited the pair with its purchase of WBLS in 1974.
From 1972 to 1978, WBLS was the flagship station of the Mutual Black Network (now the American Urban Radio Networks).
As part of the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation stations, program director Frankie Crocker held 5% of the radio market in the northeast from 1975 to 1978, only ceding the title of top R&B station to upstart WKTU when that station broke out playing disco and club music in 1979. 
By 1982 it had fallen to number 3 in the market.

MFR Showcase: Barefoot Servants - FUTURESHOCK (Section Three)

As one of the deejays mentored by Frankie Crocker on WBLS, Harper entered radio in 1976. In May 1983, WBLS hired Champaine, a woman deejay, and together Harper and Champaine developed a quiet storm late night format patterned after the successful show which had been introduced by WHUR jock Melvin Lindsey in 1976.
Others took to the format but WBLS had greater reach and more listenership. The Harper/Champaine quiet storm program became a staple that lasted thru station changeovers and garnered a following in the New York Market. With a deep, mellifluous voice, listeners said Harper sounded romantic, eliciting a peaceful respite at the end of the day.

In 1979 along with his co-horts Ken Webb, Johnny Allen, and Frankie Crocker, WBLS reached #1 in the Billboard Radio rankings as rated by Arbitron.

In 1993 Harper suffered a stroke and spent years effecting a comeback. In his absence, Champaine hosted Quiet Storm II on WBLS. Harper left WBLS for WWRL in 1997.

Playing records since 1981, I am an old Soulful House DJ that worked in or managed several of the U.S.'s crucial record stores in New York and Washington D.C. including the likes of Dance Tracks NYC and 12" Dance Records.  I simply want to share old mix tapes and sounds to honor and pay respect to my friends and house music legends who have passed or who are still plugging away making deep house a force of love and change in the world...
